Serendipity

is when something happens that wasn't what you expected, but it works out well.  Just such a tihng happened a couple of days ago.  I was tidying my craft desk - actually, clearing a 12x12 space - and I had a pile of scraps left from my Bo Bunny Et cetera layout;  none very big, but some nice little bits of pattern.

Because I had bought pretty much the entire collection, I also had quite a few packs of stickers - mostly I find that these are the most difficult things to use.  So often they have strange phrases and sentiments that I cannot imagine using.  One of the dimensional sticker packs in the collection actually has a large "Etc" sticker.  What sensible use asm I supposed to make of that? 

Anyway, I dived into the drawers to find a few other bits I could use:  some 7 Gypsies reinforcers, some Prima fuzzy rub on things (supposed to be easy to rub on with a fingernail but I beg to differ),  and a pair of little butterfly stamps I bought for about a £1 from Craft Superstore. 

I thought I might make some tags, but was simply too lazy to dig out one of my dies, and wanted to do something other than a standard luggage-label kind of a shape.  My answer was to reach for the Bo Bunny button packaging and use it as a template, which gave me a good shape and was nice and easy.

This is one of the tags - not the best, I think I stuck on one too many embellishments for that - but I used the twine and the key from the wrap card.
