Question Ideas for boy albums

I teach at a middle school and I have 10 tween boys in my class. We make an 8x8 album as well as cards for different occasions. I am struggling to find embellishments that a tween boy would like to use in their scrapbook. I have gears and sprockets, sports and robots.What else would you suggest? I asked the class and they are not giving me any help. Thanks for any suggestions that you could give me.

How about using a 'Rock Star' or anime theme? Don't know where to find anime stuff but if the boys are 'into' the anime thing, they might have something you could photocopy for their albums. I think this might be okay since they would be only using it for themselves and not selling things with a copyright.

What about nature or a hunting or fishing theme? Where I live these would be popular with the boys. Motorcycles, boats, racecars, trucks and other vehicles may also appeal to that age.

Don't rule out using stamps as embellies!!!! It helps if you have to do several albums too!!!

Use inchies and distress them. Add them around the edges of the paper. Can be embellished but that would get expensive. Stamps would work beautifully.
