There always seems to be a lot more “girly” paper to chose from, so why not give it a try on a boy’s layout? I like to use florals and other “girly” prints on my son’s layouts, but I always try to accentuate the most boyish color in the patterned paper. For instance, in this layout, I used a girly floral paper, but I focused on the blue color in the paper. This little trick will allow to use all of those beautiful paper lines for your “girly” and “boyish” layouts!
