It is from the Sarahs Cards January Sketch - from Vanessa (Ellepiggo). I thought it was a fabby sketch to work with and will definitely be checking out their challenges in the future. I did mine on an 8 1/2 x 11 LO as I will be putting it into a book of me which is that size. I know I'll never win the DT space lol, but it will keep Kirsti from nagging me about blogging lol! :P
The photo itself also ties in with this weeks challenge on UKS which was to scrap a piece of history - an old photo of yourself, or something special to you. This was a photo I had scanned in ages ago, its not brilliant quality but it is of me, standing proud with my BMX bike I got one Christmas - I would be lying if I said the year, but am guessing I was around 8 or 9? Love the hairdo! What on earth was my mother thinking - I have a feeling she did it herself - what with? The Wallpaper Scissors?!?!?
I used MME Abbey Road papers, with a random piece of sassafras as the background. Bo Bunny Brads, random buttons from costco, papermania alpha stickers and the bracket was cut on my cricut.
Thats all for me just now, I do plan on sitting down later on and having a play though and a wee bit of blog-hopping at tea time I think.

Yayy... blogging Leigh... great page and I do love your hair... I think mums did used to cut hair when we were little....Thanks for the mention...xoxo
Great page Leigh, now if you hadn't mentioned the wallpaper scissors, Id have never gone for a close up!! I think it looked good, my eldest reckons that when I cut her fringe - from ear to ear - that it was child abuse!!
