I had an idea for an Easter layout that I wanted to try out. This is one of the few times in my life I have created a layout without a photo in mind so when it came time to finding a photo, I realised I have few really nice photos of Easter...just lots of ones with small ones running about hunting! However, I did have this photo of my son aged about 2..I really wanted to do Easter crafts with him but it was after childcare (a full day!) and he was so tired. Why oh why I thought it was a good idea I cannot say. I think you can tell from the photo that he just was NOT interested ;-)
For the layout, I wanted to cut some egg shapes and then fill with paper but have a few eggs with fancy things on them. The eggs were easy. I found a free shape online and then used the Replicate window to add the rest of them using Row of Four then selecting all the eggs in the row and duplicate below. Done!
Now I just had to decorate. I used Bo Bunny Soiree 6x6 paper pad. One egg, I used a Prima adhesive rub on to add foiling. The second decorated egg is actually the Bazzil plastic paper embossed with tiny hearts. Another egg, I used my fringe scissors (okay, okay, herb cutting scissors) to make a fringed egg like the hearts that are so trendy at the moment. The fourth decorated egg has a piece of crepe paper ruffle on it.
I finished off the page with a pretty doily and Soiree papers backing my photo and a cute bunny, possibly Prima and some strip journaling I typed on my typewriter.
