This is where i have trouble... Some times it is fun to scraplift or do a sketch but the other day I did a challenge that asked you to copy the sketch exactly down to ever last emelishemt... man was that HARD... it was a buzzy sketch and my lo are usually more simple.. I was able to make the embelisments smaller then in the sketch so it was not so buzy and it worked but i prefer just to use as inspirations not copy exactly.

I think alot of people have the same problem they think this is right and this is wrong... not true.. .It should be you... not well you get the idea.. If you like it then that is right ..
