Here’s a wonderful use of pink and flowers on a layout for a boy from Rebecca. With pink flowers in the photo background it makes sense to pull those elements into the design, she also added some lace but there’s also some roughness with torn paper, paint splatter and a black title. Take a closer look at the 49th and Market blog.
Boys with their pets are always a wonderful subject to scrap, like this darling dog layout from Niki. She has two layers of torn pattern paper, clusters of words and embellishments, a little written journaling and a fun title. I love how she cut and popped up some of the word bubbles!

Here’s a darling design for a kid who loves Dinos! Judy used digital images and digital pattern papers, printed them and cut them out for her page. The wavy ground sits over a stenciled cloudy sky with tall palm trees and cute dinosaurs. Notice how she used bones shapes for the name, so clever!

These boys are having a blast at the beach on a fun layout from Jessica. I love how she cut her photos into flag shapes, running lots of twine around the page behind them!

This adorable design uses lots of pink and blue pulled from the sweet photo. There’s a big splash of blue water color for the background, lots of pretty flowers, die cut lattice and printed sentiments. I love how Maria included the word “cheeky” which can mean irreverent but also for that great smile with chubby cheeks. Find more info at the Uniquely Creative blog.
This cool design from Debbi has Father and Son photos with lots of stitched down pattern paper strips, stamped repeated sentiment, layers of dies and a thick acrylic title in shades of blues and yellows. There’s also great texture from stenciling, twine, a metal button and acrylic accents too. I came across her idea on the Debbi Tehrani Instagram page.
This awesome Super Hero inspired layout from Julie has bold primary colors and clusters of embellishments and sentiments. There’s so much depth and texture from wooden accents, sewing, puffy stars, acrylic words and embellishments. Fly on over to the Bramble Fox blog for all the details.
This amazing travel layout from Margie captures all the wonder and joy of visiting a new place. She kept to a blue, green and tan color scheme with three rectangle of pattern paper, a botanical border and some small travel embellishments and words.

I hope you can find some time between chasing down your boys to scrap some amazing layouts for them!
