Sketch & Scrap and the Weekly Challenge

Its the first of July (where did June go, did we even have a June?) so it means its Sketch & Scrap time again. This months sketch was set by Jessbaby aka me! I chose this sketch from May's Pagemaps

Again I used the opportunity to use the sketch for another page for Leah and came up with this layout

This layout is of my cousin, Leah's Uncle, Simon. Simon sadly died in 1999 before Leah was born. I wont go into details but it was unexpected. Originally I had a rub on swirly flower thing in the top right corner but this just did not look right so I did what all good scrappers do...cover it with a bloom!

This week I've also completed the weekly challenge on UKS for the first time in AGES! This weeks challenge     was set by the Ric Rac Ravers who as part of the criteria set this sketch

We were also asked to use their team colours of pink, green and white; use Ric Rac; and to use stitching in any form. I used all of this to complete another Leah page

The photo is of Leah's mummy with a wild pony on Quantock Hills near Weston Super Mare when she was a teenager. Hopefully this burst of mojo will continue...
