For the Boys

As (a majority) women scrappers, we often find it easier to scrap for the girls in our life. This class is focused on scrapping effective pages for the boys in our lives - strong and clean lines, bold colour combinations and great photos of our men folk to match.

Layout one: "@ 15 m"

This layout is based on an interview or review style. For hints and tips for conducting an interview, my "Quizes and Questions" book is availabe to look at in the shop. For a review style (where a little man can not give you answers to your questions), write down some facts as answers to "stages". An example of this would be, as I have done, a review of what a child is achieving at a certain stage of development (foods eaten, milestones achieved, etc).


Supplies needed:

One photo 4” x 6” (portrait orientation).

Your interview or review Q & A pre-printed onto cardstock. The dimensions of this should be approximately 16cm wide and 22cm high. A good way to achieve this is to make a table in MS Word.

Scrap of patterned paper.

Alphabet for a short title.

Chipboard tab accent, or a scrap of patterned paper to make a tab.

Assortment of small and medium sized brads and buttons.

Three medium sized embellishments for a cluster and brads to attach if required.

Sandpaper.

Neutral coloured ink to compliment your colour scheme.


Layout two: "Faces"


This layout features paper tearing to create an uncluttered yet masculine look.

Supplies needed:

Two photos, 6” x 4” (landscape orientation).

One sheet of cardstock.

One piece of double sided patterned paper, one side light, one side dark/bold OR one piece of patterned paper and scraps for other uses.

Alphabet for a one word title.

Stars, flowers etc for accents (I used 3 transparent stars of varying sizes).

Three small brads to attach accents.

One medium sized brad as an accent.

Gel pen for journaling.

Favourite ink to coordinate with your layout.

Sandpaper.


Please don't hesitate to email me or call if you need help selecting your interview or review for this fortnight's class.
