To the Moon!

There is no doubt that the latest CHA show was a good one for BOY stuff!  To the Moon by Fancy Pants Designs is a super fun new line that you're going to want for the little guy in your life.  It's loaded with bright colors and all the icons of boyhood: aliens, robots, monsters, and other things that beep and whirr.  To the Moon has all the energy of your favorite small guy! 

It's a Guy Thing

I totally fell in love with the 80's-esque star rainbow on this patterned paper!  It captures all the facets of my son's huge personality!  The photo strips on this layout were from a mall photo booth and they were terrible quality but the joy on my son's and husband's faces makes me smile every time I see them.  They had snuck off and were just doing their own special guy thing.  This page is covered in stars but the focus stays on the photos tucked into the large star element.

It's amazing what you can do with busier patterns when you focus on the parts you love and highlight them like I did here. 

Robot Love

I used the March Sketch for inspiration for this next layout, Robot Love. 

You can see that I flipped the sketch to better accomodate the cute robot printed on the large circle paper.  I also chose to use one of the photos on the sketch as a journaling spot instead.  I love the ease of sketches and making them my own!

Fancy Pants is great about giving us paper that is more subdued and solid in combination with patterns that pop off the page.  I used several of the busier patterns for the circle elements but grounded them with the blue paper for the background.  I bordered the page with lots of stitching and echoed it with threads wound around some of the chipboard cogs. 

I'm so glad that Fancy Pants knows that boys need scrapbooking love too!  This is a terrifc line for all your guy scrapping needs and of course you can get To the Moon for yourself at Right at Home. 

Thanks for taking a look at my projects!
