FIRST Distressed Anything!

Good Morning,
   I was asked to be a GDT for a blog challenge and was offered a distressed challenge. I was definately "DISTRESSED", since I had never tried that application. So, last night I went to a FAB site http://gabriellepollacco.blogspot.com/ and watched some tutorials.... and heres what I made.
PLEASE leave me your comments, I am happy to recieve any suggestions from you distress Goddesses!

Just FYI: Its a layout :)






Here are the challenges I am entering:

    Your LO is so soft and pretty. I like your distressing techniques. I think you have it all figured out. Once you get started it's almost impossible to stop! It's so much fun to see try out all the different ways of aging a project.
    It really gives a project another different look with you ink the edges with white or soft grey or even pinks or blues.
    Have fun! :)
