15th of July sketch challenge ...

This month's sketch is one I enjoyed working with - if I must say so myself, lol!! But then my subject was one of my favourite little guys and his little sister.  Here's the sketch:

We will feature our favourite layouts from both of our June challenges in July on the blog.

monday's mentions 14 july 2014 ...

Fiona Paltridge was a winner in June over at Once Upon a Sketch - her work is well worth hopping over to see there. We've been pleased to have Fiona's work as a fave here on a couple of occasions.

Another fave of ours, Lizzy Crust was a feature and a winner over at Black with Two for June. Lizzy's work is always worth peeking at, and Black with Two is a very cool challenge site you should check out!!

Can't wait to see who applies!!!
