MY TWEEN

This is my latest project for The Memory Nest using the following sketch.  Typically, I look at a sketch and have a general idea of what I want to do.  This time around, I was clueless.  Triangles are not in my comfort zone.  I've been reading a book called I Am That Girl and recently finished a section about the need to move out of your comfort zone in order to push yourself into new territory.  I will say that this sketch certainly did that for me.  I played around with my Bella Boulevard papers for a few hours afraid to cut anything because I was so unsure of what to do.  I kept attempting to do what the sketch called for and it simply was not working for me as it was positioned.  So I deconstructed the sketch.  Rather than have four triangles all placed at the bottom, I decided to place the four triangles around the perimeter of my page.  By then I was having so much fun cutting triangles with my Cricut, I started placing extra triangles in the middle of the page to accent the picture.  And before I realized it, this project that had intimidated me for weeks was done. And honestly, I like how it turned out in the end.  In summary, a valuable lesson was learned on this project.  Sometimes the sketches that give you the hardest time become your favorites.
