💡 Homecoming: More Than Just a Tux and Tie!
Let’s be real—people think guys have it easy when it comes to Homecoming. Throw on a tux, show up, done… right? WRONG.
Between the perfect shirt, tie, suspenders, cufflinks, shoes, socks, and accessories—not to mention the haircut, cologne, and transportation logistics—there’s actually a ton of prep involved!
And don’t even get me started on picking the perfect Homecoming flowers (especially when multiple girls are involved!). After visiting shop after shop, weighing color combinations, and making sure every girl had a corsage that matched just right, the final choice was made—and it was a hit! 🎉
And THAT moment? The victory of finding the perfect flowers? It deserved its own scrapbook page.
This 12x12 Homecoming scrapbook layout captures all those special details using the stunning CTMH Skylark collection—with its timeless, elegant floral patterns and fresh, modern colors.
