You can not decorate the scrapbook pages for him with pastel blues, greens, and yellows. But the well can get a little dry when you move from scrapbooking his first tooth to scrapbooking his first date. You can keep using the pastels, but do not be surprised if your son tells you the pages you create about his dirt bike race using clouds and cupids is "lame."
Let his current personality drive the product choice you use. Here & # 39; s how:
There is plenty of themed. There are plenty of themed. There are plenty of themed. Instead, you can just opt to use more neutrals, or colors that match his team.
I created one page documenting my son & # 39; s love of playing card games, and I was able to find adorable playing card stickers to use. Whatever your son & # 39; s interests, there & # 39; s probably patterned paper or embellishments to match. A trip down the scrapbooking aisle will turn up everything from video games to computers to cars.
And if you & # 39; re just doing general-topic "personality" pages, then the sky & # 39; s the limit! You could:
- Do not worry about if it & # 39; sa "boy color" or not. If you use the colors he likes, not only will it be a better reflection of his tastes, he ' resulting scrapbook page better!
- Have him journal. In the "House of Cards" layout designated above, I asked Ben to contribute the journaling, since the page was really about his love of playing cards with his uncle, dad, and grandpa.
- You can go bolder on the colors and contrasts, like in the black and yellow, and black and red pages.
- Do not be afraid to use some "girly" elements. Combine them with more masculine products, and stronger colors and designs.
So there you have it, a generous of ways to make sure the boys in your life get their due in your scrapbooks!
