Well, I’ve officially finished all six challenges from the Scrapping Clearly Easter inspired cyber crop over the weekend, and I’m popping back in to share the last two layouts – challenges 4 and 5.
Challenge 4: Chocolate & Pastel Creams
This one was such a treat to put together. I used a sweet photo of my youngest daughter Paige – normally she’s all about the “tomboyish” face paint, but this time she surprised me with a colourful bunny face. It was pastel-perfect and would go with the chocolate criteria too. I went for lots of torn paper layers to add some texture, then tried something a bit different by rolling the paper back to reveal some embossed butterfly cardstock underneath, which I inked with brown and pink. I also added a brown dyed embroidered doily for extra texture, flicked on a bit of gold glimmer spray, and used glittery gold stickers for the title to bring it all together.
Challenge 5: Easter Memory Lane
This one stumped me at first – we’re not big on Easter traditions – but it got me thinking. One little tradition we do have is getting new pyjamas on Easter Eve and Christmas Eve. So I went with that. I included some hidden journalling tucked behind the photo and used a few fun SnapChat pics of the girls and me. We’d been playing around with vintage-style filters, which ended up being just right for this theme. Not your typical Easter pics, but they tell our story.
It’s been such a lovely Easter – loads of family time, far too much chocolate, and lots of creative time for me… what more could I ask for?
