LOViEw...Sunday Sketch Studio Calico

I was asked to do the Sunday Sketch at Studio Calico using a sketch
based on one of Marcy Penner's layouts...I was absolutely thrilled to be asked!
And aside from being a fantastic sketch, I love Marcy's style...
very clean, laid back, simple & intricate all at the same time.

I changed the sketch up quite a bit to fit my photos and to get a vertical
title.  I used a play on words for the title...Love View -
of Sam looking thru my book mark which he had just bent...ahem.

Anyway, sometimes I really love sketches where there aren't a whole
lot of restrictions. I kind of use it to clean up my desk and use all the teeny
bits and pieces of this or that, that I refuse to throw away.

I have bowls and bowls and little boxes full of the positive or negative pieces 

from various cuts I used with my Silhouette...lots of stars, hearts and leaves.

I had this sweet little vellum coin envelope from Jillibean Soup 

and decided to scoop up all those hearts and dump them in!

I used several other scraps and odd things like pieces of tags, a paint chip

for the green color I was trying to convince my husband to let me 

paint in the laundry room...a piece of muslin fabric I tested out some stitching on

and carious other tags pieces of paper I tucked here and there.
