Customer Reviews

great!

This is a really good book. It has lots of great ideas for scrapbooking your son (or grandson or nephew, etc) The people who made this book have definately had boys around of their own. A lot of fun page ideas!

I bought this for my friend and she absolutely loved it. I even enjoyed looking through the pages and I don't scrapbook.

great book

This is a great scrapbooking book full of ideas for scrabooking pages for your boy. I would recommend it to any scrapbooker.

My eyes thank MM for the break from pink and flowers

Somebody has finally assembled boy-themed scrapbook pages into a book. As a mom of two boys I can't tell you how many times I've wished that books about scrapping for kids didn't get dominated by so much darn pink! Oh well, now I have no excuse not to start my kids' own Growing Up Years albums.All Boy Scrapbook Pages is from the Memory Makers folks who think of just about everything. The book is divided into themed sections to display examples of: Introduction/Basics of how to scrapbookAttitude (portrait/moments of the "macho" stuff)Softer SideBoy's Life (enthusiasms like sports and hobbies etc.)Boys will be Boys (various antics)Page title ideasI was impressed with the clean, modern look of the pages. I noticed that a lot of color blocking was used, also much thoughtful journaling. It was a welcome change of pace from the floral- and accent-laden pages that (IMHO) we women seem to gravitate more naturally toward. The color choices were sometimes on the bold graphic side, other times muted, but very elegant and sophisticated overall. I think this collection is a good representation of the range of subjects and looks that are possible when dealing with boys' pages.Each page included detailed instructions on how to recreate it. I was left with few questions and a lot of inspiration. My only nitpick: the pages were light on boys under the age of two and boys in the later teen years. I suppose that's what those baby books are for, but what about teenagers? I for one do not consider teens to be "grown ups" quite yet!So, this is a must for parents of in-between toddler and teen boys as far as I'm concerned. Unreservedly recommended.-Andrea, aka Merribelle
