Now that Valentine's Day has officially passed, I'm full on ready for spring, warm weather and Easter! I'm not a big Valentine's fan anyway, so it passes fairly quickly. My husband made out pretty easy in that department - I'm happy with an "I Love You" and that's about it! Very, very low maintenance. Truth be told I think it still kind of scares him and he feels like he's doing something wrong!
I received my new Scrapbooks, Etc. yesterday and had completely forgotten about the layout I had in there this month! Believe me, the excitement is still always there to see work in print, but I think with all the moving stuff cramming my wee little brain, it just plain slipped my mind!
Although I don't normally like doing holiday layouts, but this one was fun to do with the adorable Crate Paper chipboard goodies!
We were lucky to spend last Easter down in South Carolina with my in laws and of course the egg hunt and baskets didn't disappoint! Always a good time at Grandma and Papa's house with eggs hiding in palm trees.
We will miss seeing them this year, but will have to make due with our own little private egg hunt at our house. Next year I think we'll need to put eggs in the freezer because it will be fairly hot in tropical Okinawa, Japan!
For the basket of eggs in the layout I simply cut down some brown cardstock in a square and used a corner rounder on 2 of the edges. Then I cut a thin strip of the same cardstock and stapled it to the "basket". I used tons of leftover pearls from my stash to create different sizes of "eggs" in the basket. Very simple and easy to do! I wish I had a good photo of it, but unfortunately my external hard drive deleted itself a few weeks ago and I had to go to all my galleries and re load it. Super pain in the hiney, but mostly recovered!
