Welcome to the Little Prince Blog Hop :) Super excited Jessica asked me to join in with this hop :) I have been so inspired by many of these crafting friends and am super excited to be a part of this hop celebrating Little Men and one Little Man in particular. Happy Birthday Mason! I have two little men in my family and they keep life interesting for sure! If you are here from Karen's Blog you are in the right place :)
I find a lot of BOY inspiration on my favorite boy blog All For The Boys! Never heard of it? Check it out!! I created two projects to share with you today. The first is these personalized notepads.

I love stamps for this reason! My daughter especially has a name that is hard to find personalized items for and my kids all love to see their name on everything (books, walls, etc.). These little pads are going in their Easter baskets and were super easy to make.
I cut a 12x12 sheet of cardstock into six pieces (4x6), used Washi tape (love this stuff!) and alphabet stamps to decorate each piece. Then I used the Washi to adhere them together at the top making little flip pads.
The second project I found on pinterest - love that place - and created these Monster Bookmarks alsogoing went in the boys baskets.

You'll find the template and tutorial here.
I used some Later Sk8r paper from Close To My Heart, scraps of white cardstock and googly eyes. A few photos for you :)
We are currently reading through Judy Blume's Fudge books and the boys are loving them :) I love how these bookmarks look like they are eating the page - I think my boys will like that too!

Oh, lol sorry I forgot! Mase Likes Legos but he is into Action Figures, Super Heros and Avengers!! He has a new costume on every 30 minutes!
ReplyDelete:) Bet youve been there done that!!
Oh gosh! What a fantastic idea! Love the personalized stationary. My kids would love that! I may have to craft-lift LOL

Love the personalized stationary and am a huge fan of the monster bookmarks, they are so much fun to make!
ReplyDeleteOMG that monster bookmark!!! My 7 year old son is into Star Wars!!! He checks out encyclopedia type star wars books from the library!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to be in this hop with you!!
My little man is into anything with an engine...trucks, cars, trains, helicopters (or hello-tractors as he calls them), tractors, etc.
ReplyDeleteLoving the stationary! Kids love seeing their names in print, don't they? Technically I don't have a little man, two girls, but I do have a hubby, and could definitely stand to do some more 'masculine' scrapbooking. One can't have everything be pink and purple. As to what they are into these days, the usual girl stuff, although they love their legos and my 5 year old has a new found fascination with Star Wars and Superheroes (she's been hanging around with the boys in her class I think).
ReplyDeleteSuper fun designs and personalization. New follower of yours here. Great boy creations. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat super adorable projects!!! I know my boys would LOVE to have their own personalized stationary :)
ReplyDeleteMy boys are HUGE into Lego...I am constantly stepping on a head or a shield, seeing the newest "creation" in the form of a person, ship or building and about 2 years ago we went through ALL our lego pieces and used them to build the Death Star...yes 3500+ pieces :) It took us about 3 months from start to finish but it was such a GREAT family activity!

Elizabeth you are always so creative. My little man is into dino
ReplyDeletes and spiderman
My boys are big into MineCraft. Hello...1989 called, they want their graphics back, but whatevs. They seem to be bonding over it ;)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute projects. I have one boy, age 7 and he is so into cars. Well that and tow trucks. He loves sword fighting on the wii (when I let him) But loves playing with cars outside in the dirt. He also loves motorcycles and four wheelers too. Playing baseball, riding his bike and doing Karate. He does like playing with legos too. But he is in and out with it in between everything else he is active with.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your personalized stationary and absolutely adorable book marks! I'll have to keep this idea in mind for my nephews! My little prince is not-so-little anymore but he also loved his Legos when he was growing up. In fact, I still have them !!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project and what cute book markers! LOVE the googly eyes! I only have a little princess but she loves her Duplo blocks and I'll be introducing her to Legos for sure!
ReplyDeleteLove the book markers. Great idea for the grand kids.
ReplyDeleteMy little man is an adult but when he was younger he loved to build things with Erector sets! He went on to become an engineer so it was obviously destined to be! Your stationary pads are just so cute and I love how you used the washi tape
ReplyDeleteGreat boy projects--love the monster bookmarks. My little boys are grown but they loved legos and trains.

ReplyDeleteNow following with Bloglovin' and excited to be in the hop with such fun peeps.

My boy is grown but he loved legos as a kid. I still have most of them.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say I love your projects! Super FUN!

Wonderful ideas!! Super projects I NOW want to make personalized stationary and I would love a book mark that looked like that as well.. Since I do not have any sons, I can tell you that my Husband is into working with tools and driving his corvette
ReplyDeleteThese are so fantastic! My little man is into Thomas, matchbox cars, and angry bird legos! It's so much fun to play like a kid again!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are so awesome and unique! I love this hop since the boys seem to often get forgotten or left out. My two "little" men are not so little anymore - they are 16 and 14, and are into marching band and X-Box mostly, (although my youngest still loves his Legos!). But when they were little it was Hot Wheels/Matchbox, Thomas the tank engine, Legos, Playstation, Pokemon, Naruto, Beyblade, Transformers, you name it! I would love to win this prize to use on my boys' pages! (I have a lot of catching up to do!) Thank you! mmoore11@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! My son is into Matchbox cars and Legos!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool Blog Hop! I have a grown son who, with his wife, of course, are expecting their 1st child (More Importantly -- MY 1st Grandchild!!!!) who we know now is a BOY!!!! Alexander is due to arrive around June 23rd, 2013!!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved all the projects along the way. Thank for the chance to win these stamps. I could so use those boy stamps. Boy things are not so easy to find such cute things. these are awesome.
ReplyDeleteYay, did the requirements so now you can just pick me, lol.

I like both of your projects! My sons are all grown up with sons of their own.....My grandsons would love the Monster book marks. They are into anything Sesame Street!
ReplyDeleteMy man is into BB guns right now.

Your projects are great! My little man is 6'4" and into college and looking for a job now. I do have lots of photo's from his childhood left to scrap as I only started scrap booking when he was in his teens. Someday I will catch up:)
ReplyDeleteLoved the idea of the stationery and the bookmarks are cute. My little man is my grandson and he adores transformers and especially Optimus Prime (I think I have that right.)
ReplyDeleteWow! So excited to see that I won this super cute collection! Off to email you ! Thanks so much!
