Some Latte Crop Creations

The January project kit from Life Preservers is full of the beautiful 7 Gypsies line "Venice".  It includes a bound index album that I am also working on.  I decided to take a break from the album and work on a few small projects during our "Latte Love" crop over the weekend. 

The first layout is based upon a sketch provided by Pagemaps that Jodi used for a one hour challenge.  I could not participate in that challenge, but I loved the sketch and thought it would be fun to use it and see where it would take me.  Here is the result:

I thought it would be fun to use these papers to create a masculine birthday card for my brother.

Bo Bunny Sketch Contest

While browsing my favorite local scrapbook store, Scrapbooks Too, I discovered the most beautiful papers by Bo Bunny, their Serenade line.  I had heard through the grapevine that this line was a very hot seller and potentially may be unavailable due to its popularity.  What's a girl to do when she hears this?  Of course I *had* to get some!  Life Preserver's was lucky enough to get this for their January Featured kit!

Normally I "save" such beautiful things in my stash, but when I visited the Bo Bunny Blog and saw that awesome sketch, I just knew what I was going to use! 

Here is the sketch:

Here is my interpretation of it:

Other items used:
- Music paper for sentiment, flowers and leaves (The Way We Were)
- I-Top Brad maker
- K&Co TC Blossomwood Butterflies
- Tim Holtz Journaling Tag (Hidden)
Other: 1 bling brad, thread, acrylic heart, coffee filter, cardboard and Lumiere paints
