This was made with Kaisercraft 'Timeless Classic' collection. It's still available. Stamperia Alterego & Magic Forest was also used.

Find pages with wood themes, stonework, steampunk or Victorian. Anything 'grunge', really. This way is doesn't 'age' like skateboards or graffiti patterns.

I pretty much make only masculine themed books & cards because I have 2 sons & all their friends a male.

Unless they specifically love Marvel or Batman, etc, stay away from pop culture themes, just in case you don't have the right type of Batman, etc. Again, this can become outdated & fast.

Wallpaper patters, wooden panels, Victorian style seems to work no matter who is receiving it. Tim Holtz & Stamperia have awesome ephemera.

I interpreted this post as asking for pages we've made. If I got it wrong, I'm very sorry & had no intention of violating the conditions. โค๏ธ

This page was made using Stamperia's Alterego collection, (I think). Again, elegant patterns but in neutral colours.

This is an old paper but I used it recently for an 18th birthday album. This was from Prima & they might still have something. Neutrals & blue tones work well for male themes. Tim Holtz has an array of ephemera that will make any project masculine.

How pretty!! I wouldn't touch it. Sometimes I'm tempted to frame papers due to their artistry. ๐Ÿ˜„

This is AMAZING! The large butterfly is phenomenal! I love that it's on its side & not the usual pose. The pops of colour with the neutrals is so professional. Everything is just WOW! ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฆ‹
