I started out with two empty frames that I had on hand, purchased at garage sales. For the larger frame, I hung thin wire as a "clothesline" for my pennants. I used the papers from the May Project Kit, and went to town.
I altered a few of the pennants, using black and white photos from our recent vacay to the beach. I hung them with plain mini clothes pins. It took less than an hour. I didn't over-analyze it, and just played...
The smaller white frame was perfect for framing a torn and wrinkled map my son had in his closet. I used foam core to back it so it wasn't flimsy. Next, I found an unused part of a transparency, and simply placed it along side the map. Easy peasy!
Next, I added a few more beachy items. I found the blue coral at Home Goods. Some of the shells were purchased at the Dollar Store. Others we got while on vacation. A lovely mix of all things beachy...
And to add more of a statement to the focal point in our room, I continued the theme on the hearth of the fireplace. In the evenings, flameless candles will flicker and provide the ambiance we want without heat.
Enjoy your day!!

Love the banner in the frame ! great idea!
