TLP Challenge #2 -- The Template Challenge

As I looked through the forum thread, I noticed most of the layouts were pretty, light-hearted or fallish in theme.  Since I had won a $10 gift certificate in the M3 Monochromatic Challenge from Little Butterfly Wings' shop I wanted to use one of the kits I got with it for this layout.  The kit, Grungy & Messy, lent itself to a darker, grungier layout.  I think it still works AND it's really different from all the others in the challenge gallery.
