Scrap Africa April Challenge

Back again with another share =) I have promised myself that I need to pack up my craft desk and do something other than scrap for the rest of the week. This layout is for the current sketch challenge at Scrap Africa. My first time playing along at this site, lots of gorgeous DT examples and a great sketch so how could I resist. This LO is of hubby taken a few years ago on a holiday in Paris. He doesn't get scrapped very often, mainly as by the time he gets home from work it is too dark for photos and on weekends he tends to be walking around the house in his daggy clothes ready to mow lawns and do boy stuff in his shed. 

He has a desk in my craft room now where he sits and does his thing ( usually online gaming and watching star trek re-runs on his laptop - yes he's a geek!), while I scrap. Mid way through this layout I had an attack of the giggles. When I looked at the page it sounded like I was calling him Old & Curious and an unusual odditie. I couldn't stop laughing and I think he thought I must have been sniffing my glue instead of creating with it =)






Thanks for looking and for all your lovely comments. G xxx

  1. That looks like some serious fussy cutting going on there. And really, aren't all boys curious and odd?

  5. My husband didn't move into my space. Instead he suggested i move into the room he was using as an office with him. Now he complains about the constantly expanding scrap stash, but I think he likes sharing.

  7. Firstly I love the page and secondly but probably most important, I love the fact that your hubby sits with you in your room and watches his shows and does his own stuff. You must have a beautiful relationship, well done.
