123 Challenge- September

I was set to go scrapbooking Friday night with my Scrapping Buddy- Shiralee when our LSS called to say it had been cancelled. A lot of people pulled out due to illness and Perth was due to have a storm hit that night. We never even thought of cancelling going because it would be dangerous driving, does that mean we're officially obsessed?!!!

So since my family weren't expecting me home, I retreated to my scrap room for the night and did this layout for the 123 Challenge.

WORD: MAN or MEN
COLOUR: GREY
TECHNIQUE:
use something METAL

I had this great photo of my husband I took recently when we were on a walk. It's not bad considering I took it with my phone! It was a nice change to do a page about him.

I love this grey woodgrain paper by October Afternoon and thought it would make a great background. I've also used some Echo Park "Boy's Life" & "Playground" papers, Washi tape, Lily Bee & October Afternoon die cut bits, American Crafts rosette (which has a metal centre) and this fabulous heart button which was part of my prize pack from Lil' Red Rocket. I bought the metal frame somewhere and it's been in the box of "Stuff I'll probably never use", I was so glad to pull it out for this layout!!!
The star of the layout is my wonderful husband, isn't he gorgeous?! We've been together 25 years this year (yes we were very young when we met) and I still feel so blessed he's in my life.

Thanks for looking :-)
