I like to use grungy, stampy type kits for my teen boy pages. I buy a lot of Studio Basic kits for this reason. She usually has lots of elements that aren't flowers although I do use the occasional flower.
You are MY inspiration for teenage boys, Tammy! You make great pages for them! But I feel your pain. It's so much easier to scrap them when they're little; kits for little kids are cute & fun, and it's hard to capture who they are in a kit now.
Here are a couple of mine:
Thank you so much for sharing, Rachel! I've found that I may have to start skipping the cutesy ones as well. Plus, my style leans more towards grungy art type kits, so the cutesy ones make it harder to scrap.The struggle is real! Aside from how hard it is to find good teen boy kits, my oldest hates having his photo taken. Finding new science, technology, or video game kits to use for him feels like a lottery win every time. Here are some of my older boy pages:
I can sometimes still get away with using "cute" stuff if it fits a photo perfectly, but most of the time I avoid it.
Good luck!
I have a teen boy and scrap whatever photo I can get of him. Recently, he has been very receptive to taking photos so I'm jumping on every chance.
Some recent pages I have done of him:
And it helps that he plays basketball so I get tons of pages that way
Here are some of my older boy/men pages:
