Easter Memories in Pockets with Elle's Studio

Hello friends! One of the many “unknowns” about the times we are living in right now is how we will be celebrating Easter this year. Although our president wants packed churches on Easter morning, our family will be keeping ourselves safe, and most likely staying home. Easter is one of my favorite holidays, and this makes me extremely sad. This had me thinking about some of our past Easter celebrations, and the one at the top of my list took place right here in our home and neighborhood last year when we invited my daughter’s two besties over for an Easter play date! To brighten my week a bit, I decided to record this fun day in a Project Life Design J pocket page spread using the Elle’s Studio March kit and extras*.

This page started with my photos and my title, “Sharing Easter Memories Together,” using my new Title Builder Vol. 4 stamp set and black typewriter cardstock alphabet stickers, and I stamped it LIVE on a Facebook video over on the Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine feed this week, in addition to a title for a scrapbook layout, and a greeting card! I hope you’ll check it out!

Once my title was complete, it was all about balancing the beautiful colors from the March kit and add-ons across the page! I focused on the colors in my title card: orchid, yellow, blue and teal; with neutrals of woodgrain and black.

I wanted to mimic the typewriter font found on the new black typewriter cardstock alphabet, but I needed a smaller size to fill out this journaling tag. The Hazel alphabet stamp came to my rescue to highlight the most important parts of the day: finding eggs, opening eggs and eating the candy inside! I used the new Word Circle stamp to add the heart bullet points for each item.

On the back of the page, I wanted to mimic that big, colorful pocket on the front with a 4” x 4” filler pocket. I created it with pretty teal paper and topped it with a journaling tag and label, which I stamped using the Title Builder and Title Builder Vol. 4 stamps! I also added “moments” below using the Title Builder Vol. 4 puffy stickers. To the left of my phrase, I added the cute acrylic Easter egg with the Easter wood veneer bunny ears on top! To the right on my photo, I added a “3” Go See Do acetate die cut. I love adding these to photos for a bit of extra, but low-key embellishment!

This sweet pocket started with the “flowers, raindrops, sunshine…” tag from the March 2020 kit, but I had to dress it up a bit using my Title Builder Vol. 4 stamp illustrations and that cute little wood veneer bunny from the Easter wood veneers!

This page recorded such a fun and happy day, and documenting it was definitely something I needed right now! Even though our Easter plans may be up in the air, I know that I can re-create this fun-filled day with our little family, and still make it special. Thanks so much for stopping by today! You can find all of the product I used to create this pocket page in the shoppable gallery below, which will take you to the Elle’s Studio store, an amazing, woman-owned small business! Stay safe and well, friends!
