Capturing The Joy Of Easter In A Scrapbook
Each year we take pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits. It finally
occurred to me to combine all these years of Easter fun into a scrapbook. The
kids are already dressed up; it’s finally warm enough to take pictures out side
again, and the first flowers of the season make for a perfect backdrop.
Coloring and decorating Easter eggs gives you the perfect photo
opportunities. Snap some pictures this year to add to your scrapbook. There are
many creative ways to do an Easter scrapbook layout page. Give your kids some
plain white paper, cut into an egg shape and ask them to decorate these paper
eggs as well. Add them to your scrapbook along with a note of which child
decorate the egg and their age. You can also add some Easter bunny graphics or
stickers.
Capture the Easter egg hunt on the Easter scrapbook layout
page as well. Take plenty of pictures of the kids hunting for eggs. Don’t forget
to take a picture of their basked full of treasures after as well. A shot of
your toddler munching on a chocolate egg is always a favorite. A border of
Easter eggs works well for these pages. You could also cut some of the picture
into egg shapes. Cut some green paper into grass shapes and nestle your
egg-shaped picture into a bed of grass.
If you go to church on Easter
Sunday, take advantage of the fact that everyone is already dressed up and take
some family portraits. Use the timer on your camera to get everyone in the
picture. Take individual photos of the kids as well. We started taking pictures
each year in front of a particular tree we planted a few years ago. It’s fun to
watch the kids and the tree grow over the years. Use the budding plants around
you as a colorful background for your Easter pictures.
If you are
creating several scrapbook pages dedicated to Easter each year, you can put them
in sequence. Start with a page on getting ready for Easter including the egg
coloring of course, then move to one or several pages dedicated to the big day
itself and finish up with a page that shows everyone enjoying the chocolaty
treats the Easter bunny has brought
