Out of Comfort Zone?

Firstly can I say a huge THANK YOU to all of you that commented and encouraged me on my first ever blog post! I am beyond chuffed/stoked!!

Now, why the heading? Well, I "don't do layouts" ~ or so I thought. Then an opportunity to apply for a DT came along and their request was for 2 layouts & one other piece, using chipboard. I love using chipboard and a wonderful cyber buddy had generously sent me some (from America? I know, SO kind!)
This is where I would put a link to her blog but I still haven't learnt to "link". However I can write her blog address which is myscraptherapy.com. I really hope you will check out her amazing creativity, she hugely inspires me & many others!
So, back to layouts, I decided to just go for it. What's the worst that can happen? They don't accept me. Well they didn't. Hey ho?
What was important is that I ventured into the unknown and thoroughly enjoyed the process.
So my message (for what it's worth) is GO FOR IT! Step outside your comfort zone and see where it takes you. You might just be surprised?!
Below are the 2 layouts. Please excuse lack of "tidying up" with photography. Hopefully you still get the idea...
Thank you for joining me today. As I am still new to blog land, please do let me know where I can improve; Should I explain any methods I use, tell you about products? What have you found helpful when posting on your blogs? Any suggestions are gratefully received. I read all comments you might want to leave & try to reply to them all. I really do appreciate that you take time to 'pop in'!!
See you next time.... Caroline x
