July Challenges

Hello again and thank you for calling in. While I'm finally on a roll with my creativity I wanted to have a crack at doing a few more challenges but the month is almost up so I'm combining this layout with three Challenges. I don't normally do this but time is of the essence. When I saw the new Challenge over at More Than Words I just had to join in with one of my recent travel photos. Criteria: the word "Explore" and the use of Arrows. I've used the word "explore" at the bottom of the photo of me if you look closely.

The next Challenge I wanted to join in on is the one over at  Challenge YOUrself. Criteria: Use your own handwriting in your journalling.

Now to achieve the first two challenges I needed some sketch inspiration, so I'm also joining the mid-month challenge over at Stuck?!   I can always rely on the girls at Stuck?! to get my imagination into gear and this one's a beauty!

So here is my entry.  I've used two photos on my layout because I wanted to use the full size pic of the Cathedral as well as the close up of me resting at the entrance. I kinda got carried away with my ink splats...eeek! I do love getting messy with ink though :D

So there you have it. It's so therapeutic being able to create again.

STAYED TUNED as tomorrow I'll be posting a review on how I went with journalling my travels whilst on the go...achievable?  You'll find out the answer right here tomorrow :)
