Dream, Believe, Imagine: Another Cosmo Cricket Challenge

I have been having fun playing along with Cosmo Crickets weekly challenges. This week they decided to challenge us to: Create your layout, project or card using something that intimidates you a bit whether it's a color, technique, subject, etc. Then, post your creation online with a link here, and an explanation of the fear you overcame.

Since my scrapbook time seems to be getting shorter and shorter by the day, I combined it with Tricia's sketch challenge over at Citrus Tree Studio.

I am VERY intimidated to start adhering pieces to my layout before EVERYTHING is decided and just how I want it. I can't just glue and go. I even cut out stickers and alpha stickers and arrange them, sad I know, but its how I scrap! Well, I decided to give it a whirl. I did it, but what I feared happening happened. I'm not happy with the layout! I like parts of it, but wish I could push other pieces around a bit. Maybe if I continued to do it, I would be pushed to find ways to overcome the parts I don't like.

Make sure and check back soon! I have a fun little mini to share using the Cosmo Cricket Earth Love Line!
