of the world for Easter from our Design Team.

Easter Fun by Karen Thind (Canada)

  For our family, Karen says, we celebrate by enjoying family time. 
It usually starts with a visit from the easter bunny and an egg hunt 
and then a big family turkey dinner at grandma's house. 
 We usually have both Good Friday and Easter Monday
off as holidays so it is a wonderful long weekend.
 
Supplies: GP509, GDC123, CS012, Glitter Dot

Easter fun by Katarina Damm (Norway)

In my family we celebrate Easter by attending a Easter Parade, the kids
dress themselves as  witches and goblins... (Thats because we have a
tradition that says that the witches fly away on a broom for a place
called Blåkulla during the Easter to have a party.)
and after that we go home to have a nice family dinner.
This page is with my son all dressed up for the easter parade.

Supplies:
Cardstock light green, Patterned papers Bunny Love:
GP511, GP508, GP509, Other: BGP211
Chipboard: EC012 and stickers/diecut CS012

Egg Hunt by Emily Branch

Growing up Emily always had a Easter Clue Hunt
where the Easter Bunny left clues all around the house
leading her to a fun gift at the end.  She created this fun
page with lots of squares of our Bunny Love papers
and added borders and extra ribbon and trims.

supplies:

PATTERNED PAPER: (GP505, GP510, GP508, GP509, GP512, GP513

from Bunny Love collection) Best Creation.

GLITTER CARDSTOCK: (GCS022, GCS002)

Bunny Love by Kim Alredge (Texas)

supplies: die cut GDC123, papers GP511, 512, 507
and stickers from CS 012.  Kim also made the cute
rolled roses and added some string and a matching
button around the photo.The cute butterflies are punched
out of our paper with a Martha Stewart punch.

Not all pages have to have photos because sometimes it
is just recording the fun memories or fantastic things that
happened that day.  This is a page telling about Brittny's
1st Easter being married with her new husband.  Really cute Britt!

We hope that everyone had a really fun Easter

and hope to that we gave you some fun ideas

to create your own pages with today.

Fun Weekend Projects by Mireille and Karen....

Here is a quick mini book to put together this weekend

for a special someone in your life that loves Robots!

Our Guest Designer for April- Mireille Divjak created

this mini for her son and his love of Buzz Lightyear...

 Mireille slipped tags under the photos and alternated

them to go on each side and added coordinating buttons.

This is a super great idea so you can journal lots about 

the photos and save some room!

Thought behind it
I used a star shape.. thought it would go well with the "out of space theme"
besides.. it's all about april 7.. and Noah was the star of the day - his birthday!!!

Story behind the book
They are all basically my son's #7 birthday pictures. 
I made tags tucked under the photos and they are inked and 
masked and stamped.. and have journaling on each.. It is about my son receiving
 his buzz lightyear costume for his birthday and wearing it all day.. 
even to his first day of Kindergarten.
On each of the journaling cards I shared about
his cake, his love for Thomas the Tank engine and
lots of other personal things he will love to read about
in the future to come.

Tic Tac Robot game by Karen Thind

This was such an adorable idea to use one
of the spaceship papers.  Karen divided it up
with strips of paper and cut out lots of tiny
robots for the game and glued tiny magnets on the backs.

is in the kitchen to play together!
