That seemed pretty easy for me until I realised that I don't actually have such spring typical colours - all those pastels from the original inspiration kit - in my own selection so I needed to get a bit creative with how I approached this.
Just a reminder of what my April kit, Rogue, looks like...
But I did have some colourful snaps of Easter that I thought would look good together as a quick overview. So, what did I have in the kit? Spring has come late round here and we've had a lot of rain and cloudy days so the cloud paper and the raindrops seemed a good representation of all that. Then there's a paper with small tulip style flowers - typical spring too even if it's a bit on the darker side. And so I combined those with some floral paper, a little vellum, a small floral print and a hint of tissue paper. It's all a bit dark and dull - which is how the weather's been - but the photos really lift the whole look of the page.
There wasn't really much to say in terms of journalling so I just added some words in mini letter stickers to highlight the main things to remember about Easter this year - bubbles, eggs, chocolate, spring flowers, gardening and breakfasts. Easy and so much quicker than trying to find a space to write.
A larger, light coloured title draws the eye and I used my veneer butterflies to add more of the same tone and well, they are flower related, aren't they?!?
Even with all the dark tones of the background, I love how the photos jump out. This is a page I'm totally happy with. Nice!

I love this page Lisa, with colourful photos set against the rainy background to tell the story - our Easter was rainy too, then we had a tantalising peek of summer, but we're back to rain now! I also love the idea of just adding a few key words in mini alphas, instead of full-on journalling - I am lazy about journalling and hate my writing, but I do want to tel the stories, so that's a good idea, which I will definitely borrow! :o)
