My Version

So here is my version of the Easter layout.  Amy, I am so glad you chose this one.  It was not a layout I had marked to scraplift in the magazine, but it turns out that I had some Easter photos and a good story to go right along with it.  I expanded it to two pages, and I only had two photos so my photo strip was shorter and I straightened it up.  Anyways, I love how it came out, even though it's not one I would have picked to scraplift on my own.  That's what makes this so fun!

"The Hunt Must Go On"

As a side note, I am so glad for writing things down!  I remembered from looking at the photos that it had been a cold and rainy Easter, but that was about it.  I dug out my journal (which I was good about writing in then) and there was the story about Isabel's insistence on hunting eggs outside, rain or shine!  I am thankful for my journals and for the new forum of blogging to help me remember all these things.

I liked the layout I did for Isabel last week so much (it was so easy and I just like the way it looked) that I decided to do one for Cecie (same dance recital) and for Bentley.  I wanted to do one for Lydia too but ran out of time even though these came together so quickly and easily.

"The Tree-house"

I am planning to get just the one layout done this week, too, Amy.  I am moving my scrap space into the playroom and giving the entire basement a cleaning and overhaul (I've just gotten too worried about my scrap stuff getting ruined in the non-finished space) so I will be mostly busy with that.  I'll post pictures when I'm done!
