A Challenging Day

Last weekend Shimelle Laine hosted an online scrapbooking weekend, with ten challenges that will remain open until the end of next Sunday. The first one was a recap of the five weekly challenges that she has posted so far this year: scrap a selfie; use hearts; mix old and new; make a monochromatic page; or be inspired by maps and globes. I've actually done all five already, so I'm choosing to repeat the selfie challenge; this also ties with a recent prompt in the Scrap Like You Mean It forum on UKScrappers - to scrap a funny face.

My daughter's an Explorer Scout and each year the district organises a District Commissioner's Challenge. This year it took place in London; they had a list of questions to answer, and each answer had to be illustrated with a team photo at the appropriate landmark. Luckily for me, my daughter was nominated to take the photos so I had easy access to them for this page.

I picked six photos and started my page with Sketch 100 from Sketch-n-Scrap, which I rotated to accommodate a column of photos. I had a reasonable amount of journalling to include so the right hand side of my page ended up veering away from the top part of the sketch.
