Some Actual Layouts!

Finally getting around to posting some actual layouts here.  

First up is an Easter Layout.  Photos are from last year's Easter. We have been going to our "farm" in East Texas each year, just like we went to my great-grandmother's place or "the country" as we called it when I was little.  So fun to keep up this tradition. We skip all of the Easter crazy and just run away to the woods for the weekend. It is truly delightful. We dye eggs and hunt them in the yard in front of the house.  It's heavenly to me and the kids seem to love it too. I took a ton of photos perched on the porch with the "big lens" as we all refer to it, but of all the shots, these are my favorites. I love the motion you get from Wyatt leaning and the swing of Elsie's skirt. You can just feel the energy, the excitement, the thrill of the hunt. Paper is mostly by Crate Paper but is is rather old. I was inspired to make this page for some reason when my Cocoa Daisy Kit appeared and contained these adorable little bottle cap embellishments from Basic Grey.  Then it just flew together from there.  

This page literally fell together when I pulled out this scrap by KI Memories. I just love the colors of that flashback collection. It is simple, I know, but I really like it for some reason. Had fun with the matching Polaroid frame - putting it on pop dots.

A page I've had done forever, but for some reason never posted.  Was enamored with that butterfly paper, but it is intimidating to use.  So I cut it into strips and then I made progress.  Pulled in some old Jillibean, a piece of paper from Hobby Lobby and some Martha Stewart flowers and added some little bits and pieces to round it out.

So this is a page that has been sitting around FOREVER, waiting to be done.  It is actually from a class that Shimelle posted on the UK scrapppers blog last year or maybe it was the year before called "And Now for Something Completely Different."  I had the paper, I had pictures, I had the stuff, I simply needed to find and reprint the photos smaller since they were originally printed 4 x 4.  So I finally did it and it turned out great and I am glad it is finished. Crazy how things can just sit and sit and sit and get moved from place to place to place around the scraproom.  Almost all of the supplies are from an old line from October Afternoon.  

This is the second year that we have participated in the City Solve Urban Race. Honestly, It is a scavenger hunt for grownups and it is so much fun. You dress up and run around town searching for the answers to clues. We had a great time and we even dressed up as super heros. I mean, how bad could it be if you get to dress up like Wonder Woman? Paper is mostly from Cocoa Daisy kits. Especially love this piece from Elle's Studio and knew it was perfect for this photo. The City Solve logo is from the bibs we had to wear during the race. I went a little crazy and even tried a little misting.

Ok - off to make more!  Hope you enjoyed these.
