I just tweaked the layout so I have a new background that I designed. I used some free tape textures from Fudge Graphics, some hand drawn scribbles, some Dover images, and a brush from Bittboxx. If you haven't perused those sites before, I strongly recommend that you do--they are fantastic resources for newbie designers!

If you do like my new background, you might want to take a peek at this new journal that I designed:

I'm super excited and will be ordering some soon... Maybe there will be a journal giveaway when I reach 50 followers!

The journal is up for sale on Deckpeck--a print on demand company that makes t-shirts, snowboards, surfboards, skateboards, skate wheels, journals and messenger bags. There are lots of other awesome designers using Deckpeck also.
