The one with Graphic 45 - Part 2!

One of the reasons why I really wanted to be on the Scrappy Chic design team was to push myself. To use different product than I would normally choose, to try new techniques and challenge myself to think outside the box of what is comfortable for me! Last month I really didn't feel like my work was very good... as hard as I tried I couldn't "make it work!" as Tim Gunn would say! But this month.... I feel like I really pushed through and I am proud of what I did.

Before, Graphic 45 is not something I would EVER choose to buy.... but now I am starting to really like it :) I know the two layouts I made are not 'the best ever' but to me I think I am more proud of them because I made them work for me!
Enough of my blabbering.... here is the second layout.....

And a close up.

There is a lot of distressing, sewing and layering of patterns in this that don't translate well to pictures... especially since its gray outside again today and I have no natural light to photograph with!!

I have two cards I made last night as well. Forgot to take a picture of them so maybe there will have to be a part 3 to this post :) lol.

Next up on my plate is some Cosmo Cricket..... still a little scared of them as well...but I have the mojo going right now so I think I should just dive in today!!
