4 Crafty Chick #86: Boys Dig It!

Hi crafty friends!! Welcome to another fun challenge over at 4 Crafty Chicks! This week our theme is 'Boys Dig it'! I have really enjoyed making boy pages lately. Partly thanks to some awesome new paper lines that are 'boy-friendly'. I have already made a page with this Echo Park kit of my other nephew, Sevyn. Now his brother is getting the scrappy treatment. ;)

 
I used a sketch from the April Page Maps release. I thought it was so unique and fun I didn't actually stray too far from the original sketch and I love it. I cut the photo mat from Elegant Edges, it is a postage stamp shape, and I thought it went well with the other postage stamp stickers on the layout.

Still loving banners. Maybe one of these days I'll get sick of them, lol! These banners were a pattern on one of the papers in the Echo Park kit. I fussy cut them and placed brads in between. I inked the edges of all the cuts with brown ink.

I cut the flags from a Spellbinders die. The flag pins were handmade. One was actually a sticker in the kit. I just wrapped them around little wooden toothpicks.

I LOVE these scrabble tile looking letter stickers. And the ones that look like label-maker tape, so fun!
The title is cut from the new Type Candy cartridge. I am really liking this one alot!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Please come join us at 4 Crafty Chicks and show us those boy projects, can't wait to be inspired!!
