the boyz-Sketchabilities #122

I've been promising my sister an album of her boys for years now. She gave me her favourite younger years photos years ago and on a recent visit she asked me how her album was going. I smiled and replied great! Here is the first page lol. My handsome nephews Eric & Tyler.
I used this sketch from Sketchabilities for this layout.
To make it more masculine I replaced the hearts with cogs. This is so hard for me as I am so used to doing the little girl and princess pages. This album will most definitely be a challenge!
I did add a bloom or two out of habit! I used Prima's Cartographer Collection papers and flowers.
To get the masculine look I did a great deal of misting including on the alphas!
A close-up or two.
At the last minute i decided to add some moulding paste to the page. I have been using homemade moulding paste lately and have really enjoyed it. I can make it as thick or thin as I want. Well off to start another page. I am so far behind because of my illness and my computer issues. Have a great weekend! All the best! :)
