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

 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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. Last edited by krystalhartley; 03-03-2009 at 06:37 PM.

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!
