To build & imagine

Hello! Do you put pink on a little boy page? I have seen it done well, but I tend to avoid it. This time around though, it seemed to be just the right touch.


Love watching imagination at work! I created this layout using the January kit from Up the Street Scrapbooking. I have really enjoyed all the October Afternoon in the kit.

Thanks for stopping in! Have a great day!

Love this layout. I love the title. It's perfect.

This is perfect. Still "boy" but all those soft touches really complete it. And the pink doesn't even really look pink. It's still very rustic. Beautiful job!

I have definately used pink on boy layouts...and lavender on "manly" DH ones. In the right context any color will work! It looks great in yours! Just the right touch! Thanks for sharing -Amanda
