Girlie shizz on boy pages...yay or nay?

[amystoffel]

A comment the Fizz just left me cracked me up...and people have said it to me before. I always use pastels, pinks, flowers, bows...on my BOY pages. Who else does...or who wouldn't be caught dead doing it?

[heatherdumas]

:p God! I wish I could. But I put my flowers on my girls. I am lucky to have both to scrap. I always love your boy pages with frilly stuff. But you have some pretty boys there miss Amy Stoffel.

[Darcy Baldwin]

I don't because my boys wouldn't like it on their pages. Every once in awhile I'll make a page for me that while still masculine, is a little softer, but since I'm not a girlie girl, I'm not missing out!

[lauren grier]

connor loves pink.. so.. I don't care. and I put flowers on his pages too :p do what you want ^_^

[Nikki Epperson]

I have and probably will again. It depends on the page...... kwim?

[alansrock]

who wouldn't be caught dead doing it?

me no girl stuff or pink on my boys no way, no how.

[laura mcgee]

i use to NEVER but anything girly on my sons pages, but now i will put a flower or two, maybe, but thats pretty much it.. i stick with the boy stuff and steal pictures of my nieces for the girl stuff.
but i do like using girl kits for his pages, but picking out the more boyish things

[nikkiARNGwife]

Umm..I use flowers and ribbons and bows and stuff, but they're usually in boyish colors...not pink.

[jessica31876]

I do but I try to even it out with masculine stuff on the same page

[crystalbird]

Umm..I use flowers and ribbons and bows and stuff, but they're usually in boyish colors...not pink.

This is me too. I think I've only used pink if I'm in the picture too...

ETA: He's too little to care if I put flowers on his page, so I may as well do it while I can.

[MelissaL88]

I have been known to do it from time to time. I use lots of swirls/flourishes on their pages, though. I guess it just depends on the page.

[gypsystar]

Well, i don't want my pages to be too girly but I do use girly stuff on my pages. I've never been afraid of flowers or girly elements on my boy pages. I also enjoy the challenge of pulling boy layouts out of girly kits.

[amystoffel]

connor loves pink.. so.. I don't care. and I put flowers on his pages too :p do what you want ^_^

honestly Jake says his fave color is pink!!!

maybe i can only get away with this while they are little???

[meganmecrazy]

I have before, I don't do it on EVERY page cause I basically just do what I wanna do! LOL!

[lauren grier]

honestly Jake says his fave color is pink!!!

lol.. yeh I imagine by the time they're teenagers they might complain

[tuneskids]

unless they are like my teenager ... who loves pink. I don't think I could do all girly stuff on his page, but pink is fine! lol

I wouldn't NOT use girly stuff on the little boys pages, if it worked on how I wanted it to look.

[rach3975]

maybe i can only get away with this while they are little???

I think that's very true. I'm like Darcy--I use boy things because I think they'd prefer it. Maybe not now, but when they look back on their albums later. My 5 year old is starting to object to pages that aren't light blue (his favorite color), LOL.

I scrap my boys without pink or elements like hearts and flowers. I only use them if it fits the page theme (spring, Valentine's Day, etc) or if I'm in the photo. I don't consider ribbons to be girly, so I do use lots of ribbon and stitching in masculine colors.

[lizzyfizzy]

i love how you do it amy and i'm totally not opposed to it...i just can't pull it off. :)

[Kat Stokes]

It really depends on the photo for me. Sometimes I do but mainly flowers and glitter in boy colors.

[amystoffel]

i love how you do it amy and i'm totally not opposed to it...i just can't pull it off. :)
Even if everyone said...get those flowers and rainbows off your boys pages....I probably wouldn't anyway.

[amystoffel]

Oh and Fizz...I didn't mean it in a bad way!!! It made me giggle for reals.

[kscwgirl]

I've done some pages of j with flowers, but in blue or green or something.

[Paula]

I do, but I don't put nearly as much on there as I do on my girls pages.

[lovely1m]

It really depends. I use some. I know that I can totally get away with it on spring LOs.

[cheltzey]

Depends on the kit. Traci has made some awesome boy kits with flowers,etc, and I use those liberally. But tiaras, wings, and feathers...not unless it's a newborn picture...and even then...

[sprauncey1]

Not much pink in mine (well except one that was on purpose to make a point) but lots of flowers, ribbons, etc on my pages. Just not all together.

and I LOVE glitter.

[SmallMoments]

I use flowers, but not usually pink.

[nesser1981]

I only use flowers for Cooper's stuff if its in a "boy" color. Or if its a page with him and Keira. I don't want him to be 15 and say, what the heck mom.

[pbumbaca]

A girly girl like me who loves pink, never! And if you believe that I've got oceanfront property for sale in Arizona for ya! LOL!

[Laura_A]

You know, it's funny you mention this Amy... I'm always in awe at how you can take a girlie kit, use the same elements as everyone else, but still make the page look just boyish enough. :thumbup:

[krystalhartley]

I totally don't have a problem with it. But I also didn't have a problem with Landon wanting to play with his sister's kitchen or dolls. Good fathers start somewhere, right?

That said, I tend to question the masculinity of dudes that wear pink shirts. I don't know if you guys remember me telling you that Michael had to do the school shopping 'cause I hurt my foot, but Landon came home with two purple/teal shirts. I tend to think of those as girly combos, and even though Landon likes the colors for some things (pink, too), he doesn't want to wear them. I have no idea what Michael was thinking, 'cause he's generally way scared of girl colors for clothes--think he was trying to be "open minded." LOL But knowing how much we suck at actuallly taking things back for exchanges/refunds, I decided to just keep 'em around for "play" shirts.

[*Kelly*]

For KCB's birthday challenge I scrapped pics of my son using a girly-ish kit for the first time ever. Even though it's pink-y/blue-y/green-y and very 'not what I would normally do' for him.. It's actually one of my favorite LO's!

[DawnMarch]

I use flowers, but not usually pink.

me too

[Stacey42]

Flowers are ok in moderation for me, except infant photo, which can have lots of flowers.

I don't like pink personally so I don't use it much, not even for my own pages.

[lizzyfizzy]

Oh and Fizz...I didn't mean it in a bad way!!! It made me giggle for reals.

oh, i know sweets. i'm not gonna go all 'chimp with gun' on your a$$. :D:D:D:D

[amystoffel]

oh, i know sweets. i'm not gonna go all 'chimp with gun' on your a$$. :D:D:D:D

good...I was getting all scared...

[lizzyfizzy]

good...I was getting all scared...

why? why were you skerred?

[amystoffel]

why? why were you skerred?
I'm skerred of the chimp gun!

[lizzyfizzy]

I'm skerred of the chimp gun!

you should be. he has chimps he can call at any given momemt to do his bidding and gun chimps stop at nothing.

[Kim]

I do... not so much girly colors, but flowers etc.

I hope the next one is a girl because I have so many un used kits that I bought because I am a sucker for all things girly.
