The Pink Elephant Scrap Challenge #3

This week's scrap challenge is to make an Easter layout. I picked some photos from last year to scrap, these are my 2 great nephews, Kaiden & Kyron, on an Easter egg hunt, little kids are so cute, it was fun watching them. The younger one put the eggs in his basket and then put them back on the ground then the older one would come and pick them up. They ended up dividing all the eggs up evenly to be fair since the older one had most of them in his baskets. Anyway, onto my layout, I used my cricut again this week, I am loving my new toy! Sorry the pic didn't turn out so great, I tried taking it outside but it was too windy.

Ella's Pink Scrapbook - Challenge 2

This week's layout challenge at TPE is a makeover challenge! We're challenging you to take an old layout and give it a makeover.

I went as far back as one of the very first layouts I ever did! This would have been probably the mid 90's. I had gone to a Creative Memories party and that's how I initially got into scrapping. Back then all you need was some markers, stickers, decorative scissors and some shape templates that you trace the shape onto the photo and cut out. Yeah those were the simple times lol. This layout that I made over is from my college days (early 1990's). Unfortunately the photos are not that great and the weird cuts & stickers on the photos posed a challenge. Here is how my layout started out.

And here is the makeover! After trimming out the photos a bit the ended up being kind of small so I decided to group them together. I enjoyed using my cricut for my layout too, I am loving that machine.

Be sure to head on over to The Pink Elephant to see what the rest of the team did this week and we'd love to see your makeovers!
