So beautiful, Jennifer. An absolute work of art - and to think it was from the garbage. You exemplify trash to treasure - and a gorgeous treasure at that!!!!!
WOW - love what you did with the new SOE kit - so far off the beaten path - just as your adventure that day - love the ratty frame, the netting and the beautiful imperfect shell - you turned garbage into treasure - what do men know anyway????
This is my all time fave! I love this and could totally see it on the wall in beach themed room! I love that shell too and totally get it!
Gorgeous gorgeous altered piece. If it didn't have that story of your hubby and you attached to it I would beg you for it!

Jen, I don't know how you do it...but you have taken old and ratty and made it into gorgeous and elegant!! LOVE it!!! An awesome creation for an equally awesome memory!!!
Jen, this frame leaves me speechless. It's such a glorious piece of art! and the story of you and your husband's little romantic adventure was just heart warming. fave
Created with the new Sept. Scraps of Elegance Kit, Nostalgia. The features the wonderful Pion Design papers, Flourish with a Bling, and Renea Harrissons handcrafted butterfly embellishments. This is a gorgeous kit, dripping with softness and elegance for certain.
Recently my husband and I went on a boat tour of the Everglades. When we reached the tour site, no one else showed up for the tour. The guide said that he was happy to take just the two of us out since we had already paid and he was already there at the boat. These are the sweet romantic times that I will remember with my husband well into my old age (I hope).
So off we went - the destination was a small, very small island that had some great beachy shelling opportunities. I found a few large shells and was thrilled. My project has one of the shells on it. I loved the fact that this shell was really rather imperfect. My husband's only comment on my find..."It's missing a bit Jen. Like most of the shell".
hahahahahaha silly man. That's why I love it.
Now for the ratty frame. My mom had a yard sale a few years back and I saw the broken frame in her garbage can. This was a total garbage pick - yes, as in plucking from the garbage can and storing in my basement until further notice. I did have to hide it in my basement so that husband did not also determine this to be a ratty broken frame and toss in the out in our garbage.
So it's been hidden in our basement for a few years waiting...waiting.....waiting for these Pion papers to salvage and re-purpose it's ratty framed self.
I used the Pion Design papers and various elements from the kit to recreate my secluded beach scene from our wonderful and romantic vacation.
I also used the Dusty Attic Mini Scrolls DA0685 and covered with Stampendous Aged Aqua Embossing Enamel.
