Boys Will Be Boys 4!


 I love this page so much. On Publisher I pasted his photo, changed it to black and white and resized it to exactly his birth size 54cm and then printed it off on two landscape A4 pages. Using the centre line of the 12 x 12s I joined his photo.

It is so special to see my baby actual size again.



I saw a hand drawn page in Black and white and have borrowed the concept. This font is from Elegant Cakes Cartridge and I used a black pen to draw the stitching.

The word SIZE is cut from Boys Will Be Boys plain font.
This is an element from Boys Will Be Boys Cartridge. I cut the phrase out with the shadow and then drew on it with black and white gel pens.

I am now doing a similar page for my youngest son... But the photos are proving difficult. I only have naked ones of him full length as a baby or clothed ones where he is screaming. It is going to test my photoshopping skills!

  2. How did you do the border "stitching" the EKG like lines ? Are those hand drawn. I love the touch they give this great layout.

  3. I saw a handrawn girls page with lots of flowers and ribbon type doodles and wanted to make it boyish... so yes, they are just free hand drawn heartbeats. When I was pregnant with boys my boys there were quite a lot of complications and I spent a lot of time hooked up to the EKG machine watching piles of paper pour out with their little heartbeats on it. It seemed fitting. Plus any mum loves the sound of the doppler when they are pregnant. Thank you for your comments!
