MY REVIEW

As much as I’d like to need a Girls Will Be Girls cartridge, this is much more my speed. With two boys and a third due to arrive hopefully no later than 3 weeks from today, we’re getting lots of use out of this fabulous cartridge!

boys will be boys

Here are all the main images from the cartridge – I love all the different theme possibilities. Vehicles, sports, aliens, animals, toys, tools…so many great themes for bedrooms or playrooms or birthday parties.

This is one of those things that makes me feel like the world is coming around to the fact that stuff can be cute and fun for boys too!

I’m doing personalized towels again for Christmas gifts this year, and this one is for a nephew. I love it so much, I might have to use this design for our baby boy #3, who will hereafter be known to blogland as Linus.

This one is for another nephew. I am totally loving robots and aliens right now, and this cart has these two plus spaceships and rockets, etc.

This is another nursery project I have finally crossed off the list. Things are coming along slowly but surely, and I just needed this cartridge to finish this wall decor up! I’m going to do Linus’ real name in the frame on the bottom, maybe with some fabric or pretty paper behind and I’ll lay the vinyl on top of the glass…not sure yet.

I found these frames at a thrift store (the one on the left was free, so the frames in total cost me about $5). I spray painted them to match the Michael Miller fabric I used for the crib bumper, crib skirt, baby quilt, and fabric bunting.

The kite on the right is from BWBB. The acorn is from Create a Critter (another one of my favorites), and the tree and owl are from Stamping Solutions (a third favorite).

And I just noticed on the website that they have in brand new baker’s floss! 26 yards for $3.99 (with a coupon, that would be $2.40!). They have it in 4 different color schemes, and I will be picking some up next time I’m there for sure.

Thanks so much to Robert’s for sponsoring today’s giveaway!

  1. Does it count if I wouldn’t use this myself? It would be the perfect birthday gift for my niece, who has a CriCut, a kindergarten-age boy, and another who is due right about when Linus is. I would love to give this to her.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  17. I would make… I guess I’m boring (and decidedly uncreative), I would just use it for scrapbooking for my three boys (and probably at least 2 of my 5 girls as well)

  19. Oh my heavens! I have been lusting after this cartridge! I have 2 sons – ok they are 26 and 30, but I didn’t know about scrapbooking when they were young. Oh – the photo opportunities I’ve missed… sigh. But – I do have photos – and I’m longing to make a scrapbook for each of them! As you might know – there aren’t so many great boy embellishments available. Therefore, I want this cartridge! It will allow me to finally fulfill my longing to scrap about my little boys!

  58. I have recently started going back to complete some scrapbooking about my sons when they were young so I would use these on their layouts. I also love your idea for the wall with the frames so I would check out what my friend has on some of her cartridges to use for decorating my new craft room.

  75. I am the mother of one very active true to life boy. I call my day full of Scottie’isms he is into everything and constantly on the go. My parents take my other children to spend the night but cannot take him because he is entirely to active in everything he does. Im exhausted and I am his mother. However, with all his boyness I would not have him any other way. He brightens my day with his big brown eyes even if they are staring at me from the barrel of his dart gun he is about to shoot me with. I would love to include this one in my collection to create his pages befitting to what he does day to day.

  77. I love this cartridge. i have 3 sons and 7 nephews and I send birthday cards and invites for all of them.
    This would be much loved and shared with family and friends. I make cards to send to a few childrens hospitals and the designs along with bright colors would be sure to cheer some kids dealing with health problems. Thanks so much for a chance to win. Hugs.
