Thanks to everyone who submitted a layout for the Boy oh Boy challenge. We loved looking at all your creations, we know others were inspired too.

Don’t forget to check back on Friday and see what your challenge is for July!

Only a few more days!!

That’s all you have to get in your submissions for the Boy oh Boy challenge this month! I don’t know about you, but June has flown by for us! Summer is in full swing and we are busy, busy, busy! We hope that you will have some time to sit down this weekend and scrapbook a boy layout. Then be sure to leave a comment with a link to your work. Remember you have until midnight on Tuesday, June 30th!

Here is a little peek at the prize in store for this month!

A few things that should help you create some more fun boy layouts!

Need some inspiration? Head on over to the gallery to see the boy pages your fellow scrappers have submitted!

Warning: Enabler Alert!

Since our challenge this month is all about the boys, we wanted to share a few fun scrapbooking products that are out right now. I don’t know about you, but for these Real Life Girls it is a lot easier for us to buy girly products than it is the more masculine stuff - especially since we both had baby girls last year and we can finally justify putting pink on our pages now.  But don’t worry, there are plenty of cute items out there that will make you want to spend your entire scrapbooking budget on the guys in your life.  So without further ado, here are a few of the favorites that caught our eye…   

Warning:  There is a lot of pleasant eye candy coming up!!

Paper Posies - June Kit

 Bo Bunny - U Bug Me!
This is a popular one.  There have been several of these papers show up in our gallery this month.

Bo Bunny - Grease Monkey

Creative Memories – Make Believe and Construction Zone
The best part about these kits is that they are available as paper or digital.

Here is a little inspiration for you with a layout that Jamie made from this digi kit…

Ok, now back to drooling over all these fun products…

  
Scrap Within Reach - Industrial Park and Elliot

  
Making Memories – Just Chillin Boy and  We R Memory Keeper – MVP

Little Yellow Bicycle – Boy Baby Safari

Don’t forget that with each paper collection there are a lot of cute embellishments that coordinate with each line.  Be sure to stop by your local scrapbook store and pick up some of these cute new collections and get working on our Boy oh Boy! challenge this month.   We cannot wait to see all your fun layouts!

Oh and if don’t have a good LSS close by, here are a few of our favorite places to shop online…

• Memorable Seasons
• Memory Works
• Scrapbook.com
• Stampin’ Up!

Happy Weekend!
