Another UKS challenge

Welcome to my bloggy corner of the world how are you?  In this part of the UK the weather is atrocious it is wet and windy and with a poorly son I have had a great excuse to stay in all weekend (well except for celebrating a friend's birthday on Friday night!)

Anyway, this week on UKS the challenge was to scrap the man in your life, using a fabby sketch (I love sketches as I know where I am going and almost what I am doing!) with the additions of paint/ink/mist, different alphas and some rik rak.


Not a great photo of the page, but it is hubby in Antigua reading at the beach.  The upper left corner says 'Relax' and the tag with the heart button says 'with a good book'.  Did you spot my mistake?  I have added the date as 08/2012!  Would be great if we were back in Antigua in August but sadly it isn't going to happen, in fact we haven't even got a holiday booked for this year yet!

I did manage to include everything in this LO.  I have never used paint on a page before and I have used it on the title Relax I painted with crackle paint though it is difficult to see, the rik rak and the man are obvious as is the sketch and I am hoping that my numbers, title and alphas on the tag count as different alphas (plus my handwriting of course!)

Hoping you are having a good weekend wherever you are and whatever the weather xxx
