This mini was made to display some beach photos with my family along the California coast. The project was inspired by Imaginisce paper that I bought for the June Cricut Magazine Challenge. I had this idea to mount the book on a real flip-flop and repeat the flip-flop image on the A Shore Thing Imaginisce line. My local store did not carry the complete line so I added some beachy Splash Dance paper form Imaginisce. So with my new paper and $1.50 invested children's flip-flops, I was off to create my project. With my trusty Gypsy, a shape was welded to match the flip-flop. This shape matched the shoe but I liked the stylized shape of the sandal on the Life is a Beach cartridge. I ended up welding the top of the Life is a Beach cartridge to my welded piece. I cut the store bought flip-flop on a band saw using my cricut cut as a template. (Shhh, don't tell hubby I am cutting foam shoes on his band saw.)
