Frustration...

I got the Ocean Commotion set a couple of weeks ago, I totally fell in love with it in the catalog and now that it is in my hands I cannot for the life of me make it look fabulous! Below I have a couple of cards that I am trying to case, mine will be in Tempting Turquoise, like the first card. (Thanks to Aimee M. for making awesome cards!) I am just not getting a result that I am "in love with." I'm actually not even getting a result that I'm in like with!!! I'm panicking. I have a 10 for $10 on the 27th and I really wanted to use this set, but we'll see if it happens!
