A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I had a square frame to cover in spring flowers for an easy door decoration. It sat around the living room until winter became spring and spring became summer. By then one frame had also become three. Funny how things like that just happen around here.
Since spring had long ago sprung and summer was in full glare, I turned away from spring flowers to thoughts a little more summer-ish in nature.
I wanted something beachy looking and not as bright as my last few summer decor projects had been. After happening upon the perfect background paper, all it took was spending an obscene amount of time on the computer finding the graphics. Most of them came from one of my favorite places to spend time online The Graphics Fairy. Without her this would have been a sad looking project indeed. A few came from another website (or 2?) and a page of matching tags from the Beach House line by Bazzill from which the background paper also originated.
We won't talk about how long it took me to size, print, cut, re-size, re-print, re-cut and re-organize these before I got them right. Seriously, the pile of stuff that didn't make the cut was alarming in it's size and let's just say we all had to eat standing up in the kitchen for more than a day or two due to the fact that the dining room table was more than a little occupied.
A few wiped on coats of paint later and here is the result.
The frames are graduated in size starting at 12" and ending at 10". They also cost 5 bucks all together. Don't you just love thrift stores?

| That leaves this one coming in at 11 inches square if you're keeping track. Also the one to go in the middle of the grouping, hence the different background. |
