One Big Happy Family - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

Here's another layout from our Easter celebration in 2018. This was our first Easter at our new house. We decided to take some family pics in front of the fireplace.

 I didn't use your typical pastel Easter colors for this layout, but instead used some family-themed paper which really seemed to fit the pictures. Again, the mixing of the patterns is something I adore.

 We are so blessed to have our grown kids and grandchildren living in the same town within 20 minutes of our home. I wish our parents had been that close when our kids were young, but we are the ones who moved from our hometown in Michigan to Indiana as a young couple. We had no idea what that would mean once we started our family!  It was a 3 hour trip that we made hundreds of times over the years, and our parents did too. We made it work, even though it had it's hardships.

All of that to say, we are so grateful for our family. They mean the world to us!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a great week!!

Happy Easter - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

Hope you made it through your Easter quarantine with a smile on your face. I will admit, it was a struggle for me. We are so used to hosting dinners for our grown kids. I miss seeing their faces around my table. We have seen each other, but it's definitely not been the same. But Easter isn't about family, going to our church building, traditions, or a special dinner. It's really about what Jesus did on the cross for us! I tried to keep that in my focus.

 These pictures are from our first Easter celebration at our new house!! Love having a little more space for everybody. Coloring eggs is something we try to do together each year...Something we didn't get to do together this year.

 There is really not much to this simple layout. I love to mix patterned paper, so that part was a no-brainer. All of these embellishments came with this pretty spring stack of paper. The title was cut from Design Space.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. More layouts from Easters' past to share this week.

Hippity Hop - Two Page Easter Scrapbook Layout

Happy Easter to all of you! What a glorious day of celebration! I missed our church family, but celebrated "in spirit" participating in the live stream service.

I have another Easter layout to share with you today! These pictures feature our grand babies with their Easter baskets in 2018.

 I was so giddy when I found the image of the chocolate bunny with a bite taken out of his ear! I had to use it on this page. Isn't it cute??

 These two are just the cutest! I can't believe how much they've grown and changed over the past two years. They are the sweetest! I think the paper choices, while bold, are a little more toned down than the previous post! The pink strip of paper across the middle helps to calm it down, along with the muted vintage floral paper along the bottom. I added real lace trim as an accent under the pictures. The StampinUp! mini flower punch and mini pink brads for the WIN. I scattered these across the page to highlight the pictures.

I may post a few more Easter pages this week, because I still have several I haven't shared.

I pray that your resurrection day is blessed beyond measure! Thanks for stopping by today. 

Egg Masters - Two Page Easter Layout

We went to the most wonderful Good Friday service this morning. Believe it or not, it was a drive in style service at my place of employment! Great music and an absolutely wonderful message given by one of our employees. There was lots of whooping and honking when it was over. What a great way to start our day, focused on how Christ loved us so much that he gave his life for each of us! There were some dark days before he rose from the dead! But, now we can rejoice knowing that Easter is coming!!

Here's an Easter layout from 2017. This is my son and daughter-in-law coloring eggs in the kitchen at our old house.

 These two get super creative with their egg decorating. It's fun to watch them. I got a little creative with my paper choices for this page!! There is a lot going on here...lol. As I look back at this, I might have changed a few things, but that's okay. I'm not going to change it. It's done and the memory is preserved. The mission was still accomplished.

 I love the two little scalloped flower clips on the title. It doesn't lay very flat in the album, but it will continue to flatten out over the years.😆 The red rick-rack is like masking tape and is so quick and easy to put down on a page. It's very forgiving and pulls up easy if you need to adjust it.

I hope that you have a very meaningful Good Friday, even though you may not be able to celebrate the way you have in the past. It will be different, but I know that God is working all things for our good and His glory. Stay strong and stay safe! If you have a chance come back for another Easter post on Sunday.

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!

Hope you enjoy this simple layout, even though we're a couple days beyond Easter now. I took loads of pictures yesterday, so now I have more Easter photos to scrap!! 😍 Hope your Easter celebration was blessed!
