A Summer Day at the Lake
My son is an Eagle Scout with Troop 219 here in Nashville. Our Troop adults have so many great resources and talents. From summer homes to boats to farms; our Troop has it all. Every summer, the guys work on their Lifesaving, swimming, and fishing merit badges.
The following layouts are of a summertime camp-out on the lake.

Yes! I used pink and green on a guy layout. I must say it worked. I used leftover paper from a DCWV summer stack from 2009. It's nice and cool with summer fruit.
The stripes on the mats and the title block break up the "girly" colors. The stickers are from an old Creative Memories sticker set.

Yum, watermelon. Notice the play on words "A slice of Summer".
Minimal embellishments do not interfere with the story the photos tell.
I like the different placements of the photos as well.
Thanks for Visiting

Pink and green on a male LO works! Ahhh, I remember camp...
ReplyDeleteI always say only real men can wear pink. Like this layout a lot.
ReplyDeleteHa. right.
DeleteVery nice layouts! So glad to hear that pink and green do work with male layouts. I have a hard time not making male projects girly. Glad it can be girly incognito. :-)
ReplyDeleteSheryl, I guess It depends on the patterns in the paper? I guess. Thanks for your comments.
DeleteKudos to your son. Nice Layouts.
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen.
DeleteWow! You really thought out of the box on this one! You did a great job working this paper with your pics! And I'm proud of your son too...I've always heard that not a lot of people make it to that level! Congrats to him too!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hoped it would tie in with the color of the watermelon; and it did. I'm a proud Eagle mom. He earned his Eagle back in 2008.
DeleteEagle Scout? Bet you are so proud! Very nice layout!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I love the pink and green. Its diffident and no one said you can add pink to a layout and its okay for a guy to wear pink. I love your layout and I so wish I had a son to take to Scouts. All girls and I'm done. LOL TFS AJ~
ReplyDeleteThank you AJ.
DeleteI love the LO. My nephew was an Eagle Scout. This is a great honor.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary. Tell you nephew that I said Congratulations.
