Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Easter Fun"
Today, I have another Easter layout to share. I believe this one is from 2016, but I failed to put the date on it.
The patterned paper is from StampinUp! Perfect Easter colors that complimented my photos with my sweet grandbabies.
I love how Scarlet is carrying her bag up on her shoulder like her Mama carries her purse. So precious!

Titling Technique
Sorry for the delay again in posting. I'm very thankful for my paying job, but it does cut into my scrapbooking and blogging time a little. LOL! But, thankfully it does pay the bills and I enjoy it.
Now...on to the scrappy topic of creative titling. I was recently scrapping this Easter page and couldn't decide what color of paper to use for my title. I felt there were already some bold colors with the red and green apple (matting). My BSBFF (best scrap book friend forever) suggested making a rainbow/tie-dye effect. Based on her suggestion, here's what I came up with for my "Egg-stra Fun" layout.
I used the same green apple paper as the matting and cut it to a size large enough for all of the letters to eventually cut in my Cricut. I chose several pastel cat eye inkpads to match the layout (green, yellow, orange, pink). I randomly dabbed each color over the sheet of paper to get the tie-dye effect that I wanted. Once the ink was dry, I cut the letters from it with my Cricut. I love the way it turned out!
Here is a closeup of my little nest of eggs.
To make this, I used a crimper and formed it into the shape of a little bowl. I cut the eggs in groups from one of my extra photos and used adhesive foam in between the layers so they look 3D. I may try the nest again later with a brown fuzzy ribbon to get more of a random circular shape. This one here looks a little squarish because my cardstock was really heavy. I do LOVE the crimping tool! Almost everything looks better crimped...I may have to try using the crimper on a title soon!
Thanks for looking!
