How to create an Easter themed scrapbook page

by Emily Ser

Created on: March 16, 2007   Last Updated: April 12, 2007

Easter is a holiday best spent with family, especially if there are small children. It is also associated with springtime and pastel colors. Your scrapbook page should reflect this.

Begin by celebrating with your family, camera in hand. Snap photos of pre-Easter egg-dying. Photograph the kids rifling through thier Easter baskets and hunting for Easter eggs if you participate in this tradition. If Easter is mainly a religious observation for you, you may wish to include photos of your church. I like to include a family group photo each year and the church looks nice in the background if Easter falls on a day of good weather.

Next, go to Walmart the day after Easter and buy colorful Easter greeting cards and stickers. Also, pick up some pastel-colored paper, a large Easter-egg shaped cookie cutter, and some small, colorful brads.

Choose your background paper and a collection of complimentary pastel papers. Trace the egg-shaped cookie cutter twice on each of your complimentary pieces of paper. Cut them out. Mount a photo to one egg of each color. Use its match for your Easter journaling.

If you took a family photo, attach it to the middle of your page. Use Easter stickers and pictures cut from greeting cards to form a border around the picture. Next, position your pairs of Easter eggs around the main photo. If, for instance, you have chosen a set of purple eggs, glue the purple egg with your journaling onto the page. Lay the purple egg with the photo on it exactly on top of its match. Poke a hole through all three pieces of paper, near the top of the egg. Insert a brad through the hole. This allows the top egg to swivel and you can access your journaling. Repeat using each color set of eggs.

Title your page. Be sure to include the date and the people present at your Easter celebration.
