"Fresh Seafood" LO for My Sketch World's "Add a Home Item Challenge"

For my 2nd hosted challenge at My Sketch World,  I would like to ask everyone to incorporate any home item to your LOs.  They can be home items or hardware items converted into scrapbook embellishments for crafting purposes. . .  there. =)

Here's my Sample LO:
SUPPLIES:  Cardstock: Star Paper Corp.; Pattern Paper: All About Scrapbooking/Filstar Distributors Corp., Bo Bunny;  Foam Alphabet Stickers:  About Scrapbooking/Filstar Distributors Corp.;  Chipboard Bracket:  American Crafts;  Pom Poms: KYT Manufacturing & Marketing Corp.;  Fuzzy Wires:  KYT Manufacturing & Marketing Corp.;  Butterfly Stickers: Greenbrier International, Inc.;  Pen:  Parker;  Other: flower, ‘Good Times’ embellishment.

For my LO above, I scraplifted the LO entitled "Picture Perfect" by loventscrap from the MSW online gallery.  

Here's the LO I scraplifted from:

Thanks loventscrap for the inspiration!
