ok, I look at your LOs and just have a sense of awe...these boy vs. girl ones are just as awesome!! Love the comparisons and how you captured personalities on these....wonderful wonderful wonderful!!
It's amazing to me how different children are. I am also amazed at the differences between boys and girls. These differences are noticed from the moment they are brought home from the hospital. I was inspired by these differences. Each child is so unique. I have been pondering new ways to put this onto paper. Once I got started with these pages, I just couldn't stop. It ended up becoming something different than I initially planned, but unique in the end. Some of these descriptions are not exactly true representations of each child. But it was a challenge to come up with words for each letter of the alphabet. It starts off... Boys v/s girls...from A-Z. A-M page (LT) is all about boys. The (RT) page is N-Z and it is all about girls. Each letter represents the word or phrase on each page...examples: A-Always active B-Balls-any kind-color or size C-Catching ants and other bugs D-Diving in mud puddles E-Escape Artist F-Finding fish, frogs and pollywogs G-Galavanting(2nd def.in websters-means playful, adventure seeker) H-Horsing around I-In trees-loves climbing J-Jets, airplanes or any other flying object K-Kinetic energy L-licking poles M-Making Messes Girls... N-Naming the flowers O-only precious P-Plays with dolls Q-Quite content R-Respectful S-Sweet T-Telling stories U-Understands fashion V-Very helpful W-Wears hats on her head X-X.O.X.O loving Y-Yellow-favorite color Z-Zoo-loves all the animals
Items used: Adhesive: pop up dots, double sided tape-target-fiber adhesive-from pop ups-craft elmers bond-two areas(under plastic see thru-stones).

Used 40 computer fonts from scrapbook factory deluxe and from sandbox. Downloaded from internet-A Christmas story-the movie cover, made smaller-printed on photo paper, and placed a pop up clear box from Joannes crafts. I chose this because it was one of the first things I thought of when doing this page. My son is just like that boy in the movie. (The scene that stands out is the one where he was stuck on the pole becasue he licked it in the freezing cold weather.) Words: BOYS VS GIRLS-SFD designs, changed font and added shadows-printed on Basic Grey Motifica-"chalk paper" Artistic scrapper-nearly the whole packet of cork words.

These pages are stored in a black 12x12 scrapworks album with a black scrapworks page protector. These pages are very sturdy and full of depth. The bottom of the RT page reads: YOU DECIDE! the fiber connects the A-Z on each page. Phew!!! I believe that's everything! :)
