If you came here from the uber talented blog of Miss Heidi Kelley, then you are on the right track.  If not, please head back to Swirlydoos and start from there!!

 I decided to try something different and change up my style a bit with this month's kit.  I see a lot of bits and pieces of other artist's work that I really love and I decided to just give it a shot.  For me, that is how I grow in my craft' by trying new things and going outside of my comfort zone.

I didn't go completely out of my zone, but enough that I got to use some muscles that I don't normally use.  LOL


This next layout I created using this month's sketch.
 

I took a 4x6 photo and just cut it up into random sized pieces and then placed them on my page.  Some of the pieces could be considered "in order", while others I shuffled around.  I also placed pop dots behind a few of them to give them some dimension.

Our kit came with a great set of stamps and I decided to use it on this page and then embellish it with some of the pearls that came in our Embellishment Add On kit.


I like to rip my paper.  So I decided to create this page using lots of ripped paper and some layers.  

Thank you for stopping by!  I really appreciate your support and comments.
