I kept fairly closely to the sketch.......all the colours are used......the patterned paper is a free download from the challenge site......my 'evidence' is stars, sun and fussy cutting......and my 'testimony' is the handwritten journaling.
We went for a day trip to Lewes on one of the few sunny days last summer......we wandered round like tourists......up and down extremely steep old streets.......admired ancient buildings......quirky little shops......found a craft shop AND a patchwork and quilting shop......and had a lovely lunch in a tiny Italian restaurant tucked away in a backstreet.
After lunch we had intended to visit Anne of Cleves house......we should have visited in the morning........because in the afternoon it was closed for a private function......a wedding......I'm not really superstitious......but I think personally I may have thought twice about getting married in the house of one of Henry VIII's wives!!!!!
On our way back into town we came across a beautiful little park......and took some time out to sit,chill and enjoy our surroundings.....before heading back to the train station.
A perfect day.

beautiful layout
We're going to Lewes next Friday - it seems crazy that it's so close and yet I've never gone there before. We're going for breakfast with friends who go regularly and I'm looking forward to having a wander as I believe it's beautiful.
Really gorgeous ... Ok you've given me the kick I need, I'll check out the emails that they've sent trough :)
I like the layout a lot, and am intrigued by the challenge, which is more involved than most I see.
Lovely layout and great fresh colours
Yes, history doesn't evoke too much hope as far as marriage is concerned for one of Henry XIII's wives - I wouldn't have chosen that as a venue either!
Great layout Jacky!
Lovely, lovely layout. I think I have to investigate this challenge blog.
A loot layout Jacky and you were lucky with the sunny day! Lewes is one of my favourite towns, Chris x
Great page Jacky. It tells a good story about somewhere I'd love to explore..we drove through it last year once we were back off the boat again and through the rain I could lots of lovely shops I would love to visit
Such a perfect way to save your memories of a happy day Jacky...I'd love to visit the house of Anne of Cleves too and the shops sound just my cup of tea!
Happy Weekend,

P.S So lovely to hear you're enjoying your knitting too!
Love the butterflies! How wonderful that you took a moment to relax before getting on the train.

Not the best choice of wedding venue, but at least it wan't the other Anne!
Sounds a perfect day out & I love how you worked with the sketch. Great LO...You'll have to go back & visit the house again!! :D
Great layout Jacky,I love the way you've done it- and looks like a very interesting place x
I really like the colors in this layout & all the little bits & pieces you've used to embellish it!
What an amazing day, sounds like quite a place. Fingers crossed some of that sunshine comes back our way again this year!
Your layout is great, you must have quite a few albums by now. Such happy memories.
Have a lovely day.
