Easter Layout

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter celebration last weekend.  Today I wanted to share with you a layout I created using a photo of my niece and nephew taken at Easter a few years ago.   Each year our family hosts a HUGE Easter picnic.  I love seeing all of the kids dressed in their new Easter clothes. I take advantage of this moment to capture a picture of them each year. It is fun to look back and see how much they have grown.

 

I wanted to create a whimsical layout that showed hidden eggs, so I used the banner from the Sampler paper to form a make-make shift basket to hold my eggs.  I trimmed the bunnies and eggs from the Sampler pack then nestled them in the grass.  I used the clothespins to anchor the banner to the layout. Pom Pom trim was added to the bunnies to give them a tail.  I traced around some of the patterns on the eggs with a Geli Roll - Stardust pen to give them a little sparkly.



To create a pocket for my journaling, I decided to use one of the Canvas Corp ATC Envelopes to make a pocket.  I sealed the Envelope then cut a piece off the edge to make it a portrait opening. Then decorated around the opening with a piece of scrap paper, twine and another diecut from the sample sheet.  The journaling is on one of the ATC cards that matches the envelope.  The envelope will also give me space to include additional photos. 

I used one of the border strips from the sampler pack to create little flags and attached them to corsage pins. I love how they seem like little signs.

 

Supplies:

Canvas Corp Products: Mini clothes pin in hot pink, ATC Cards - Ivory,  Easter Sampler - Ivory, Jute Cord, ATC Envelope - Ivory, burlap sheet, Mini blue Polka Dots paper, Kraft Card stock.
Other:  Easter Grass, Pom Pom fringe, Geli Roll pen - stardust, stick pins, flat back pearls, EK Success Mini Egg Punch, Martha Stewart border punch, Tim Holtz distress tool.

Happy Easter Banner

With Easter being this weekend I thought I would create a little wall art to hang in my home. I knew I wanted a vintage feel, I was drawn to this 7gypsies paper collection "Trousseau". This paper collection is so vintage inspired pretty, I started with layering different size pieces of the beautiful paper collection, distressed the edges (can you believe there is no ink at all). The base is made out of a 7gypsies Ringed Accordion (naked journal board book) that I took apart and now can create little wall arts for my home.

I rolled one side of the paper to give depth and a place to tuck little goodies in....

I of course had to fuzzy cut out the roses from one of the papers, added the collection stickers "Trousseau" to write "happy easter"

Did you see I tucked in "mother of pearl buttons" here and there!!!

got to have mother of pearl buttons...

I had rolled some sheer material to create a little shabby rosette!

Added a pearl button for the center, with a stick pin to tuck behind it.

And a little bling and lace trims.

This is a great start on my Easter decoration and yes "little vintage inspired".

What have you created to celebrate Easter?

Happy Easter,

hugs Peggy Lee

7 Gypsies Easter Mini Album

With Easter just a few weeks away, I thought I would share with you a little Easter Mini Album I created using pictures from our Family's Easter Gathering last year. 

In this project I used all 7Gypsies Papers, Canvas Corp burlap and canvas products.  Since our Family gathering is always an outdoor picnic, I wanted the mini to reflect a natural organic theme. 

 

On the cover, I used the Canvas Corp burlap 12x12 page as the background.  I painted over it, to give texture and depth.  Then I sprayed a Canvas Corp flower with Glimmer Mist.  I love how the flower looks like denim. 

 

The papers were all taken from various 7Gypsies lines. Most were pieces I got from a variety pack, and then I filled in with the Conservatory ATC and Ephemera packs.  I love how most of these papers came from different collections, but they still work well together since I kept my selections in the same color family.

 

 

 

 

Here is a close up of the back of the album.  After painting the burlap, I stamped it with a script stamp from Hero Arts.  The stamping offers another degree of depth to the cover.

 

 

 

 

Here is a video walk through if you would like a little more detail on each page.

 



 

 

I can't wait to see your Easter projects. Please remember to post them on the Artsy Addicts Blog, and make sure you tag me in them.
