STUCK?! July 1 Sketch and CHALLENGE YOUrself #43.

Hello there,
How are you? For us aussies, we are in Winter, and I really can't complain, the mornings lately have been frosty, but the days have been warming up nicely.. I just wish the days would slow down...  I have actually been in a bit of a mojo slump, so to help that I decided to do a sketch, and I always love the ones over at STUCK?! SKETCHES and so I created a layout using the July 1st sketch.. which looks like..

Well thats the design taken care of, so then I thought I would join in with the challenge over at CHALLENGE YOUrself #43 which was to use some hand written journalling on your layout... and a photo with me in it...  So  I  found a photo of my Dd and I taken this year, printed it off twice and away I went...

some closer views..
I have used the lovely papers from Kaisercraft Cherry Tree Collection and had to do some fussy cutting, cos that is my stress buster!! The chipboard is an old Scrap FX one and some straws too.

Some stamping on the back ground and the leaf chipboard is from Blue Fern.

My journalling has been adapted from a quote I found.. 
and my layout..

My Daughter..

I did enjoy creating this layout, I have used some really old chipboard pieces which I have had for ages.. A lovely sketch and a prompt to do some hand written journalling.. Thanks to STUCK?! and also CHALLENGE YOUrself .

Thanks so much for dropping by, every day seems to be so busy.. and I do appreciate the comments you leave me too..
