the challenge over on UKS this week was another goodie and I combined it with my team-mate Niki's 52  layouts step by step #1.  Seriously go over and check Niki's blog out if you haven't already as she is amazing and really inspires me to get on with scrapping when I am lacking in ideas (thanks Niki xxx)

For the challenge you needed to use a delicate or strong patterned paper (I think I managed to do both!), use blue (enough said!), use a cluster of embellishments that reflects your style (my style is simple so I have a group of things that suit me especially the heart) the last requirement was a swirl which hasn't made an appearance on this page!
