Well, when I left you last we were enjoying life as beach bums on the beaches of Pensacola. Unfortunately (and fortunately), we are back at home and back to reality...school starting, no more sleeping in, back to making lunches each morning and looking forward to Friday afternoons! I can't complain, truly...I wouldn't have it any other way! :) But, before leaving, I was inspired by the collection of starfish displayed in the transoms above the window at the beach house and I decided that I need some too. So the daughter-in-love and I took a trip out to shop in Pensacola for a few of these goodies to take back to ~ No. 9257 ~ I found a cute art print that was created by a local artist in the Pensacola area and decided that I would purchase it and frame it for my master bath.It did fit nicely with my other travel photos and framed prints from our favorite vacays.   Upon arrival at home, I was anxious to get started on my beach souvenirs project. Rememeber...I gathered some beautiful seashells to put into a shadow box. Lucky for me...shadow boxes were on the sale week I got home..whoo hoo! I even found one that already had burlap covering, which I thought would look just "beachy" :) So...this is what I started with: With a little E6000 glue, I got to work on gluing the shells onto the shadow box board. I used the Cricut to cut out the letters to make the wording "Pensacola 2012" and adhered it, then sprayed the board a Mod Podge spray to make it shiny and protect it somewhat. Here is how it turned out...    Sadly, saying goodbye to the beach was the hard part, but I love that I have little pieces of the landscape in my home to adore until I get to load up to head south again. Inspired, Dawn |
