Happy Easter Egg Hunt | These Days + Daydream collections | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone!

Mandy here today to share an Easter themed layout with you! I used a combination of two of my favourite collections for this page… These Days and Daydream. These collections work beautifully together, and the soft pastel colours in both collections were perfect for an Easter themed layout. I documented a photo of my kids from last Easter, all ready for their Easter Egg Hunt!

I started my layout off with a sheet of white cardstock as my background, and then cut a 2 1/2 inch wide strip of the green These Days Family Ties paper to layer across the bottom of the page. I cut the top edge of the paper in a wavy line to make it look a bit like a grassy mound for my Easter basket to sit. Next I cut a 1 inch wide border out of the yellow  Daydream Sun Shower paper, and layered that over the top of the background. I added some machine stitching around the page, just inside the yellow border, to give the page some additional texture.

For my Easter basket I used a cut file from The Cut Shoppe. I cut it out of white cardstock and backed it with patterned papers from the These Days A5 Paper Stack. I also embellished in and around the basket with flowers from the Daydream Die Cut Ephemera pack, as well as some floral clusters that were fussy cut out of the Daydream Garden Variety paper. The basket was adhered using craft foam for added dimension.

Next I matted my photo with the These Days Family Ties paper and adhered it to the the right of the Easter basket. I added a little banner from the Daydream Accessory Stickers to the top right hand corner of the photo, and then created another floral cluster to the right of the photo using flowers and leaves from the Daydream Die Cut Ephemera pack.

For my title I used the ‘Happy’ Die Cut word from the Daydream collection combined with Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers from the These Days collection. I love all those pretty colours in the alpha stickers, and that sweet font! I arranged my title in a curve to follow the shape of the handle on the basket.

To finish the layout off I added some typed journaling strips underneath the photo, and I sprinkled around some sequins from the Daydream Sequins and Flowers pack.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you all have a very Happy Easter!
