Compose a Card with Becky

This was for Becky Oehler's fun new challenge.  Go here to read about the details.  This was a ton of fun and really challenging for me.  There were two areas in particular where I struggled.  The first was in cutting the cardstock.  I usually use A2 cards (4 1/4 wide).  This recipe called for 4.5 wide, and I keep wondering how I'm going to use that remaining 4" wide strip! 

The other area was placing a cream layer on a cream layer.  I kept reading the recipe and doublechecking Becky's card, but it really works, I think.  I love the kraft frames the whole main panel.  Next time, I might try to remember to pop that layer up.
