So this was the first challenge I completed, therefore my workflow looks longer than most as I did it step by step how I broke it down in my head. Hopefully I'll get better at completing multiple tasks with the same tool in one go as I have more practice. I have created a cleaned up version, but wanted to share the original to show it's ok if you're still learning.
