UKS Weekly Challenge ~ August 09 week 1 and Kim's SATC August Sketch Challenge

Another 2 for 1 tonight.

The Scrapgoddesses set this week's team challenge on UKScrappers and challenged us to:

* Use travel or a journey as your theme (10 points) ~ journey to Scotland in 2000 and stayed at the Press Castle hotel on our last night

** Use handwritten / hidden journalling maybe in the form of a letter (10 points) ~ have handwritten a letter and hidden it behind the photo of me

*** Use ribbons (5 points) ~ pink organza

**** Use purple (5 points) ~ backing paper is purple

Full points for the Ruby Snippers and Gold Eyelets :D

I've also used the sketch Kim has made and challenged us with on Scrap Around The Clock for August

The floral PP and title have been cut on my ROBO.

Thanks for looking

SLYMI week 31 and Michelle's sketch challenge on SATC

Yep, one LO, 2 challenges. Shimelle's Scrap Like You Mean It on UKS this week is to scrap "something old, something new, something borrowed or something blue". She said to use one or all and we could ignore the wedding connection if we wanted.

So, after realising that the photo I had wasn't quite what I'd remembered, I decided to scrap a copy of a school photo of my nan aged 11.

old ~ photo

new ~ flock paper which I've inked to make it a darker shade of blue

borrowed ~ the original photo so I could scan it

blue ~ Lo is blue and white

Michelle's sketch challenge on Scrap Around The Clock for July-August was provided by Pagemaps and I've turned it for my LO.

The brackets and swirls were cut on my ROBO which is now working with the Vista on my laptop :) I also got ROBO to cut the title out of the blue paper to allow the white to show through.

Crafty Muse's Sketch Challenge

We have a sketch challenge for you at Crafty Muse this fortnight. If you enter the challenge, your name will be in a draw for a new, yet-to-be-seen, download collection. Use one of the many Crafty Muse downloads for your entry and you will be entered twice. How fab is that?

Here's what I've done with it. Papers and sentiment were magazine freebies last summer. The image is Angelique sitting which I've printed onto photo paper and I've added some turqouise Stickles to her dress and wings. I've edged everything with my new Colorbox Fluid Chalk Inkpad

Thanks for looking,

Take care, love and hugs
