Scrap Bachelor Update Time!

We are into week five of Scrap Bachelor and the pressure is really mounting this week!  The producers over at Life Preservers decided to split the participants into two teams, blue and red.  As such, each team needs to determine a point value that they are working toward as a goal from 1-30.  I am on the RED hot team! 

There is a catch this week, one entire team will be eliminated!  That is correct, 7 or 8 ladies will be signing off this Sunday.  That being said, each team is determining their goal amount and their strategy.  Layouts count as 1 point, a pair of cards will count as 1 point.  All work must be newly created and never posted!

Here is a card that I created using the January project kit featuring the 7 Gypsies Venice line, along with the coordinating stamps.  I was extremely lucky and won the stamps from the 7 Gypsies blog!  I sent this over as my project submission to them.

I am still working on my album as well, so stay tuned for it.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a super scrappity dappity day!!!

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.
