My guy

Hi everyone! Hope you're having a wonderful day...a day filled with happiness and a little bit of scrapping if you can!
Today I wanted to share this lo that I did of my hubby for the Scrapbookers anonymous challenge. This month, the challenge is to use a color from your stash that is building up or one that is hard to use.
 For me that color is this bright green! I've had it for a while and have not used it due to it's brightness....it's just not for me.  I have pondered this challenge for a while and decided that I would use it and try to do something cheerful or upbeat...bold. I came up with this one of my hubby!
We were re-doing the cellar wall and on this day he got really dirty and sweaty...I didn't care, I took a pic of him in front of our new wall (a little dark because it's from the cellar). I then decided that this pic would go good with a dry cleaner's slip that I had from some items of his that I had dry cleaned, a little paint to represent the painting...put it all together and volla' brite, bold paper taking on a whole new look!

    I love what you have done here Sandi. Very masculine with a funky edge to it. I think the lime green looks great with what you have done. Also thanks for your lovely comments on my blog too. I haven't been doing challenges for very long, so hence I don't get very many comments. Hence I appreciate it when people take the time Thanks again. Cheers Di xx

    Crikey Sandi! you ARE so versatile and darn good at coming up with the coolest of ideas! I get goosebumps from brights and it really takes a massive effort for me to even want to look at them. Splendid job!! xxx
