Love seeing all these teen boy layouts! My boys are 14 and 12. I steer away from flowers because my oldest has always hated having them on his pages. Unless the topic (spring, nature walk, him with Mom, etc.) makes sense with flowers I don't use them. Some of my favorite designers for teen boys are Ru, Blagovesta, Shawna, and Megs. As far as tips for scrapping without flowers, I use a lot more paint and sometimes substitute stars for flowers. Sometimes it feels like winning the lottery when I see a new boy-friendly kit released that has unique elements that aren't flowers or stars!

Here are a few I've done of my boys. (Until now, I didn't realize how many of their layouts aren't in my gallery--maybe one day I'll go back and add them.) Here are the ones that are there.
