Did you “Spring Forward” this week? I’ll tell you, I don’t spring in any direction, and this time change in the spring is particularly difficult for me. But, the one good thing it does for me is remind me that Easter is upon us, and I love Easter. I love remembering Easter celebrations of my childhood with new dresses, a special sunrise service, and egg hunts. My sisters and I hunted hard boiled eggs. Of course, we never found all of them, and weeks after Easter an egg or two would surface in all its grossness. Such great memories! Chelle’s team members have been playing with her classic kit Carrot Patch, which is great for vintage Easter and Spring photos as well as the photos of memories from more recent years.

Ronnie had a photo of her family on Easter in 1969 (she’s the cutie in the middle with the curls). She chose to scrap that memory with Chelle’s Carrot Patch kit. The colors in the kit match perfectly with the colors in her older photo. I love the fencing she has used on the top and bottom of her page to frame the large center section. Her clusters of eggs, flowers, and bunnies show off several of the cute elements in this kit.

Carol also had some older photos to use, and she had some cute curls, too! Her photos were black and white since they were from 1953, and they also look fantastic with the muted colors of this collection. I love her Easter bonnet, and  I love the angled slant of her photos and elements. That basket full of eggs is perfect here.

Brandy had some more current photos to scrap. Her photos of her children wearing their bunny masks are too cute for words! And, she has accented them so appropriately with the Carrot Patch Word Bits that coordinate with the kit and are included in the bundle. I love how she used the large photo of the baskets on the bottom of the page, and her title uses one of the Carrot Patch Bonus Alphas.

Finally, Leslie also had some modern day photos of an egg hunt that occurred while she was living in Texas. Her neighbor invited the children to hunt eggs, but the eggs were confetti filled. Invariably, these eggs  were smashed on all the kids and the grown-ups’ heads. I love the group photo with the “bunny ears” fingers on some of their heads, and the confetti sprinkles on the corners of her page help to tell the story very well. What a fun day!

Here’s a closer look at the Carrot Patch bundle and all the pieces in the market. The images are linked.

Here’s to hoping you have some spring in your step and are looking forward to a happy Easter celebration!
