Mini in a Box-theme Beach

 I painted the box & hotglued small shells around on the "sand".  It helps with the clouds & sand to use a sponge  The top just has a piece of burlap glued down with shells on top.

 The mini is made with 3x3 envelopes using Laura Denison's stack the deck method.

 It fits right inside my small box.  All that I have to do now is add my photos. It's going to hold up to 34 3x3 pics.
