Dying Eggs

I can see the end!  I'm almost finished with my son's pre-school year scrapbook, which is a good thing because he's going into 1st grade in a couple of weeks!  The end of his scrapbook is May - his birthday.  I'm in April now and worked last night on a CAS layout for Easter.

Here it is:

I used the colorful stripes paper from Echo Park's Sweet Summertime collection, and stitched the pieces to a piece of Harvest Gold cardstock from PTI.  Can you see the stitching?

Then I used my Fiskars Grass Punch on some New Leaf cardstock to create the grass for the rabbit.  The rabbit and eggs are from the set "bunny4Easter" from Stamps of Life.  I colored the bunny with Aquacolor pencils, blended with a Dove Blender, and then added some glossy accents for dimension.  I adhered the body of the rabbit down, but popped the ears up.

Here's a close-up:


I have about 4 more layouts left.  Some of them may be double pages, so it may take a bit.  I'll share here as I can!

For now, I'm submitting this one to the Wee Memories challenge this week.  Jenny challenged us to use no less than 4 colors in our projects.  You can read details and submit your projects here.  

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

Adorable LO. I love how bright and colorful it is. Don't feel bad about not finishing your sons pre-school scrapbook. My son just turned 4 and I have yet to finish his "baby" scrapbook, let alone even make my way through my 3 years olds or 1 year olds scrapbook. I need to get working. LOL!

I plan on doing scrapbooks...

Oh scrapbooking......I really should try to do more. After all, it's why I got into cardmaking. Your LO is so sweet and I'm so proud of you for getting these done! He will treasure these for a lifetime. Thanks for playing along with Wee Memories!
