UKS August Week 1 challenge

Wow it's been a while since I posted, but then it's been an age since I did any proper scrapping, but with the school holidays giving me time, and thanks to my lovely new Expedit equipped scrapping area, I'm getting back in the groove!

This is my LO for August week 1 challenge on UKS, the criteria was to use 4 patterned paper scraps, something recycled and to follow a sketch.

January Team Sketch Challenge

On UKS I am in The Crafty Magpies, we are a very active team and we enjoy challenges throughout the year. This year we are taking it in turns to produce a monthly sketch challenge and it all began in January with Karens sketch.
Aswell as the sketch we could only used old stash, we had to use blue and we had to include a die cut (Karen has something of an addiction to these , shhhh)

February week 2 challenge - UKS

This week the challenge on UKS was set by the Bijoux Belles, the criteria was as follows:
- include movement in some form or other
- use red/black colour scheme
- include some stamping
I chose a photo of when I went to see the X Factor Live tour, of Matt Cardle. There was definately a lot of movement throughout the show with all the dance routines. And I managed some very poor stamping with a musical note stamp.

I am therefore claiming full points for my team, The Crafty Magpies.

I got this heart charm for my Thomas Sabo bracelet for Christmas.
