I recently went to an all day crop and got my son's album caught up. It was great to get caught up, but I did not have my camera to take pictures step by step.
He is a high school junior and I have a hard time with his pages at times. I do a lot of baseball, bowling and tennis pages (aka boring) and try to keep them plain (also boring). This photo was taken this year of my three boys and I just loved the colors.
I grabbed my Gypsy Girl and created my title by welding the word Brothers from the shadow font from Batman. I sized the letters (shadow and regular letters) to 1.71inches. The word three is from Graphically Speaking and is sized to 1.47 inches.
I needed a little more fluff, so I added 3 amigos sized at 2.53 inches and Certified at 2.18 inches, both from Graphically Speaking.
I cut everything out of black cardstock except the regular letters. I used a lavendar cardstock for those. I added a purple border behind my photo and adhered it all together.
This is my end result. A little plain and not fancy ~ perfect for a 17 year old boy! I am surprised I got away with the purple paper (he he)!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!!
Your next stop is Mindy!!

Thanks Lori. Glad you made it. Great picture of the boys and I think your right sometimes simple is best. I love the "purple" too. Thanks for joining me in my first blog hop. :)
Great page and simple is WONDERFUL. I have been working on pages on my Gypsy and was amazed that it had been so long since I did any.... I know shame on me and I thank you for always reminding us of the importance of scrapping! Have a blessed day.
Simply wonderful! Have a great day and keep crafting.
Lori I love your lo!!! It is simple and to the point!!! And simple is good at times!! The pic is awesome, such handsome guys you have!!!
Simple is sometimes best. I just paroozed some of your other projects... and I would say you are darn talented. I am trying to master my Gypsy that I have owned for 8 months. I just need to sit down and do it. I always end up crafting insteat. Nice to meet you through the hop!! :-)

You have handsome boys. It may be plain but it is definitely 'just right'. It puts the focus on the guys, as it should.

Beautiful LO Lori! Such a great picture of boys. I agree, too fancy of a LO would have over shadowed the picture. BTW, I love the purple too.
very nice layout. It is a little plain, but that makes it look elegant.
boy this age do not like any thing fancy, i do find that sometimes plain and simple is the way to go
