Color

Think tropical!  Let's use the orange, pink, yellow, green, and blue that are found in the flowers, the plants, the water, the sunsets, and the rainbows.

 

Theme

Cousin.  Ohana.  Lets capture the Aloha spirit as we create layouts that honor the relationships we have that go beyond family blood.

 

Technique

Everything blooms along this tropical road.  Take a hint from Hana and add flowers to your work.  Stop in Scrap U for a new class or two!

 

Card

Just Because!  Brighten the day of one of your "cousins" with a card to let them know you care.

 

Altered item

The mini book--make it as a gift, as a keepsake, as a learning tool for a little one.  Take an afternoon and enjoy the journey through a mini book.

 

Challenge!

We challenge you to share your love of scrapbooking with others.  How will you use your gift for your ohana?  Will you make a book for a friend or teach a class for some newbies?  Will you volunteer your time for the school, church, or an organization?

 

Book

This month our book club will be reading: "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd.  This was selected by our own ScrappyAng.  Looking forward to hearing what you all think in the Reading Road.



 

 

The Road to Hana

The road to Hana located along Maui's eastern coast is a 30 mile drive through some of the most beautiful tropical rainforests you've ever seen.  It includes 600 curves and 54 bridges.  Along the scenic route are yellow, red, and black sand beaches, gorgeous waterfalls, brilliant flora, and breathtaking views.  Hawaiians strongly believe that it is not the destination, but the journey and this road showcases that belief perfectly.

 

Traveling Hana gives you a glimpse into the Hawaiian culture.  Hawaiians define themselves by their relationships to each other, their ancestors and their land. They believe strongly in nurturing and honoring these ties. In the Hawaiian society, one is expected to know and understand what it means to be a contributing member of the community. They refer to one another as "cousin" or "ohana" to emphasize this unique definition of family.  Ohana is defined as a group of both closely and distantly related people who share nearly everything, from land and food to children and status.  The Hawaiian ohana encompasses not only those related by blood, but all who share a common sense of aloha (love and compassion).
