I am sorry to report that after church, by the time we got home, and I was wanting to take photos, at exactly NOON…I was not the only one that was totally OUT of patience. Not very many cute shots. Of course, I am sorry now that I didn’t just give everyone a purple foil wrapped choc egg and get a little sugar in the system… but I was OVER it. don’t you hate that. I guess I got a couple cute ones, but this was my favorite…I think we’ll work on some individual portraits later- but I have PLENTY of great photos and fab memories!
We really had a fun, fun Easter.
So a few things that I wanted to share.. kicking off the week! (yay for Monday!)
these 3 looks the cutest for Easter anyway!!
here is a closer look at what I made for my friend Tricia at Concroption.com… Capri is totally into the ‘interactive’ books and all that kind of stuff. She I loving the matching colors, and pictures and that kind of thing, so my brain has been working on ideas to keep her interested. She LOVES photos of herself (so cute) and actually everyone. she likes to name of everyone she sees, and remember what we were doing in the photos. I am amazed at how much she remembers. Of course, I love that.
This is the front: i was having to use the scraps cause i did the inside first. for the title i used the new handwriting stamps and a SMILE stamp... i love that one. i also used 2 of the stamps in THIS set.

SO, this project is really for her! (connor is just not quite old enough). The kit that Tricia sent me had some of my new papers, a sheet of Daisy D’s stickers, some ribbon flowers, lower case chipboard alphabet, a library book check out paper, this really cool 13” album cover that was bound with pink bind-it-all (I think)… it also had this super cute chipboard bird set (6 birds)from Maya Road. Immediately, I thought about doing something that would be interactive. I wanted the birds to Velcro on and have photos behind, and underneath. There are no real pages inside the book, just the 6 sections with 6 birds. Capri loves it. 
this is what it looks like when all the birds are in place
and this is what it looks like w/ the birds removed.
in addition to the Concroption kit, I also used some stuff from House of 3. For the ‘capri’ bird, I used a print out of the blog header from the April Bundle..(lots of you got it for free)
I LOVED how it managed to tie in all the colors. I think that is my favorite bird! (it’s the middle on the right side). I also used the definition printable, and printed it out a little smaller (70%). I used it on the front of the book and on the bottom right bird.
I also used one of the background from the easter backgrounds on the top left bird.
You might also see 2 shrink plastic butterflies- I used the House of 3 butterfly brushes, and printed them on white shrink. Can you find them?
From my little ‘heidi swapp’ stash… I used some bling, a lime green paper flower, some ghost mini butterflies, my crown stamp (on top of the Capri bird). I also used my NEW chipboard letters- the ones in the swatch book. They are great for little areas. I seriously have almost nothing to work with…everything is on the water coming back.. but I was glad I had my paper knife, my trimmer and of course sandpaper- can’t scrap without it.
I really loved making this, and have enjoyed sharing it with Capri! It’s spurred even more ideas that I want to play with. I also really loved having a KIT come. I thought it was a perfect way to get my creativity going… no rules, no limits.. just GO FOR IT… CReaTE! It was perfect for my ‘transition’ time… we are still staying with my MIL, and I don’t have all the junk I am used to playing with- so it was just perfect. You can pick one up here at concroption.com. I want to thank Tricia for giving me this fun chance to play. She had to send me the kit twice because I moved so quick (sorry tricia!!) She has posted ALL of the photos w/ the fronts, backs and insides, up close shots etc HERE... so go check the whole thing out!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY ALONG FOR FREE??? Tricia has given me a kit to GIVE TO YOU!... so leave me a comment, and i will choose a winner by 5PM (AZ time) Tuesday April 14th.

I got an email from my friend, Chanel. She had just rec’d the NEWEST copy of Scrapbook Creations Mag (it’s a gorgeous Aussie publication) and they did a beautiful job highlighting our Create ’08 event.
