Easter Color Blog Hop

WELCOME to the EASTER BLOG HOP for Friday, April 6th! This is my first blog hop that I have participated in. I am very excited to be a part of it!

If you didnt arrive here from Mandi's blog then go back to Jordan's blog to start from the beginning. She will have the list of all the blogs to visit in this hop. Some of the blogs are giving away prizes so make sure you leave a comment. Pay attention tho. They might give specific instructions to what they want you to put in your comments.

I love this time of year! It is starting to get warmer & flowers will be starting to bloom soon. One of my favorite flowers are lilacs. I love their fragrance & their color. One of my favorite colors is purple. Since purple was already taken for this Easter Hop, I chose Violet. Which I think is just another shade of purple & is just as pretty.

I dont have alot of Easter pictures to scrap but I was lucky enough to find this one in my stash of old pictures of my daughter. My style of scrapbooking is starting to change. I love to use flowers, bling & butterflies. Of course, I will have to tame that down a bit when I get back to scrapbooking my son's album. 

Here is my LO for the Easter Blog Hop
Here are some close ups
I used a Martha Stewart punch around the page punch for the LO border. The patterned paper used in the upper corner & for the pennants is from Basic Grey. The pennants were cut out with Spellbinders shapeabilities dies. Prima products that I used are the glitter flowers, ribbon trim, Say it in Crystals trim & canvas resist that is at the top of the page with the title. The butterfly is a Jolee's boutique dimensional sticker.The crocheted flower is from Paper Studio with a brad in the middle from My Minds Eye, Miss Caroline line.The acrylic floral embellishments are a Recollections product. The hearts & tiny purple flowers came from some members at Club CK. The Easter eggs & daisy border are some Easter stickers I had laying around.

Now for the Give Away. I will randomly pick a winner if you become a follower & leave a comment about what you like about the layout. The prize will be some of my favorite stickers & embellishments of springlike products. Sorry I did not get time to get a picture of the give away. Sometimes other parts of life take over. I will announce the winner on Monday, April 9th.

Your next stop on the hop is Christy's blog. Thanks for hopping along & Happy Scrappin!
