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!!

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.

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.

Juliana T said...
