Kim shows us inspiration for boy scrapbook pages made with “girly” kits.<\/h2>\n

Hello there, Kim here to talk about one of my favorite subjects . . . using girly kits to scrap boy pages! Are you really wanting to use a kit but all you have are boys and the kit is really girly (and you don’t really want to scrap about yourself in order to use the kit)? Well, I have four boys, and I am here to show you how you can use a girly kit for your boy layouts!<\/p>\n

First up, I am going to show you how I used Contagious Joy by Traci Reed & Libby Pritchett<\/a>. I did this layout of my two year old using this girly kit. Yes, the kit has A LOT of pink in it, but I picked out the blue, brown, and black elements and papers for the bulk of my layout.<\/p>\n

It still needed more color, so I went back and added the border, some confetti, and a few pink flowers and buttons. The pink accents were just enough to add some pops of color to the page without making it too girly. Here is my finished layout.<\/p>\n

Jenn Barrette is our “In the Spotlight” Designer right now and has this gorgeous Free with $10 Purchase right now, Dream Bigger<\/a>. I decided to go out on the edge and scrap a picture of one of my boys again, first running a few actions to turn the picture into a black and white photo. I pulled out all the non-purple elements that I wanted to use and then added pops of purple to complete the page. Here is my final page with the kit.<\/p>\n

Here are a few tricks to remember when you want to use a girly kit for a boy scrapbook page.<\/p>\n
