Themes, layouts and inspirations
After a request from a tornado victim in Alabama enquiring about products related to disasters, Ali Edwards created this set of hand written word brushes. She is offering them as a free download on her blog. Click here to see what Ali had to say and to download the brush set.
This darling Easter design from Debbi has pockets with tags for journaling, a sweet banner border, lots of florals, bunnies and a thick acrylic title. But there’s still room 7 fun photos! Find the sketch and more about this page at the Bramble Fox blog.
Hippity Hoppity, Easter’s on it’s way! With baskets stuffed full of candy, Easter egg coloring, egg hunts and gathering around the table for a big meal there are so many wonderful times to snap lots of photos with family and friends at Easter. So let’s get out pretty Spring pattern papers, pastel colored cardstocks, brightly colored ribbons and cute baby animal embellishments and take a look at some wonderful inspiration to put together our own layouts for Easter.
Beneath each photo you’ll see a link, click it for more info like tips, tricks and products used.
This beautiful layout from Becki has a stack of 3 black and white photos for a photo booth look, with layers of pattern paper matts beneath. There’s tucked in tags and a cluster of sentiments, flowers and camera on the title as well. Learn more at the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.
Inessa created an amazing large focal point by stitching together stripes of Spring pattern papers and cutting them into an egg shape. She’s got two photos, title and fun little elements scattered around as well along with more sewing around the edges. I spotted this at the Bella Blvd. Instagram page.
These darling Easter baby photos are accented with staggered strips of pretty pattern papers and tied twine. There’s also a cluster of pastel rabbit shapes cut from stamped and colored images sitting in die cut leaves. I came across Pam’s layout in her gallery at Scrapbook.com.
This adorable double page layout from Jana uses products from Simple Stories. There’s soft plaid pattern paper with a wide border going a across both pages made from brighter patterns with a scalloped edge too. Cute baby animals sit among flowers, eggs and baskets for great embellishment. Find all the details at the Jana Eubank blog.
I love all the monochromatic shades of purple on this fun layout from Valerie! Front and center is a large bunny rabbit face die with tiny prints and fun white stitching and a banner title between his ears. She placed the two photos up top with small sentiments and lots of flowers. Learn more at the Paige Taylor Evans blog.
It might seem intimidating to mix lots of prints but this pretty Easter layout shows you how it’s done. There’s florals, strips and plaids but the color scheme is the same and not too much of any print is overused along with solids to break up the designs. This layout also has a great border for the title with clusters of animals and florals. Find the downloadable directions at Echo Park Paper.
Here’s another adorable Easter Bunny face, this time made from basic oval shapes cut from pattern paper. There’s also a lovely border of eggs across the top and tiny butterflies flitting all around. Find detailed directions for making the rabbit face at the Creative Memories blog.
If you have lots of Easter photos keep the rest of the layout pretty simple like on this page from Grace. She used a bright triangle pattern paper for the background adding a few fishtails cut from more patterns, there’s a few button star embellishments and fun title with journaling along the top too. Take a closer peek at the Scrapbook.com blog.
Brianna used pattern papers for vertical and horizontal borders on this super sweet Easter baby layout. I love how she used printed dies to create a fun scene with bunny and chicks marching across the grass with loads of flowers and another bunny in a hot air balloon floating by. Find all the details at the Doodlebug blog.
MandaJane used two pattern paper stacks of triangles to ground her images and embellishments on this adorable Easter layout. There’s also lots of texture and dimension from wooden elements, pompom trim, 3D flower buttons and domed gems. I spotted this on her Scrappy MandaJane Instagram page.
This beautiful layout from Monique steps away from traditional pastel colors for Easter and uses bold bright stripes of stitched down paper in a rainbow sunburst design. There’s lots of colorful die cut flowers too, typed strip journaling and a thick custom title. I spotted this on her Handmade Happy By Monique Instagram page.
I hope you have a wonderful Easter, take lots of photo, scrap lots of pages!

Thank you SO much for these. My daughter lost her home and belongings in the 4-27-11 tornadoes in Alabama and now that our “to do” list is slowing down (thought the insurance still hasn’t gotten her into an apartment), I’ve been working on turning the photos of it all into a book for her. My idea is to show her lovely first home bought less than a year ago, then the destruction and then the rebuilt home to focus on the positive and praise God for saving her life so miraculously.
I was so surprised you thought to make these and they are PERFECT!! Love your hand writing too. I’ve already added them to many of the pages I’ve made, but I wonder if I could impose on you for just one more word? Shock. We are still in shock as it’s been too busy to process what’s happened. I would LOVE the word “shock” to add to her book. I know you’ve already done so much, but if it’s possible, I sure would appreciate it. I don’t have a tablet or I’d try to make it myself, but then the handwriting wouldn’t match anyway…
God bless you and everyone who is suffering from any kind of disaster, health (I have 2 loved ones in hospice right now and one who’s been bed bound for 2 yrs. now) or natural. pain is pain. Loss is loss. Grief is grief. God bless us all! Thanks!
