My latest layout...

Around a month ago, I was a winner on the Bella Blvd. blog for a birthday blog hop they did for the owner Stephanie. When I got my prize, I was SO excited because it was the Spring Flings and Easter Things collection, which is absolutely adorable!! It has really great colors and some super cute patterns that will work for Spring pictures and some others that will work for Easter ones, and then a bunch that will work for either. ;) On Friday I decided to pull some of the papers out and do an Easter layout with them...






Supplies: Bella Blvd. Spring Flings and Easter Things Paper - Mom's Bouquet, Sunny Sunday, Borders, Cute Cuts; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Peeled Paint; Ali Edwards Stamp Set - Loving Words; Martha Stewart Large Circle Cutter; Fiskars Flit On By Punch; EK Success Double Heart Punch; EK Success PSN LE Circles Border Punch; Basic Grey Button; SF Andi 1 Computer Font
*Inspired by a sketch at Practical Scrappers


Ok, so it turned out looking alot more Spring-like than Easter-like but it's still totally cute in my opinion. ;) This is a picture of my sweet baby Emily having her very first egg hunt back in 2001! She was only 16 months old and my goodness but she was GORGEOUS (and still is of course!). I remember how adorable she was that day...just walking around with an egg in each hand and not caring one bit about any of the other ones, lol. My mom kept taking her over and showing her where other ones were hidden but we actually had to take the ones she was holding before she'd go after any others. It was pretty funny...

So anyway, while I was making this layout, I realized that this is two pages in a row that I haven't inked any edges on! This is huge for me because normally I ink EVERYTHING, but I'm loving it because the look is really clean and it's sooooo much faster than the usual way I scrap. Don't worry though...if I'm scrapping and the look of the papers or the feel of the page calls for inked edges, I'll definitely answer. :) Thanks so much for stopping by today!
