That Was Movember

I'm not being festive today. I'm just being plain silly.


When Sandra from Gotta Craft sent me some Echo Park Times & Seasons, the first paper I pulled from the stack had moustaches printed on it. Have to do something with that I thought. And thought. And thought. Until I heard The Tall One talking about Movember. He already sports some ambitious sideburns. Could a moustache be next?


Maybe not. But he had given me an idea for a page. First I had to find a volunteer. Someone who didn't mind looking a bit silly. All the obvious candidates shook their heads, so instead my beady eye fell on... a pair of beady eyes. Gary The Magificent? You're on.

    Excellent paper! Himself took part in Movember this year, now he is taking part in his newly created and lazy full beard December. Gary is looking pretty stylish there!

    excellent choice of model! and just the thing to wake up to on a chilly and dull december morning - and in a strange way it has increased the Christmas feeling.
    Love it!

    Gary looks rather cute with a moustache. He will be grateful for any kind of extra fur at this time of the year!
    Your page brightened up the day. Thanks Sian.

    Sian,
    This is such a visually stunning layout - I think it's the color combination mainly (yellow & black, with a pop of red), but the graphics are also really fantastic!

    Wow, Gary indeed looked magnificent. You are too funny, my dear. Seriously though, I think your boy might be up for it in a couple of years.

    Love this LO. My Dad actually took part in Movember. I was completely unaware until I popped home for the weekend midway through and was met at the bus stop by what can only be described as a Mexican George Michael. Suddenly all those years of people asking if I'm Spanish make sense :p Well done to anyone who took part!

    Love the mustachio'd _______ (sorry, I've not met Gary before so am not certain exactly what he is). Anyway, you're a font of information this week--I also hadn't heard above Movember until I googled it.
