This time I've taken inspiration from the June sketch over at Sue's blog (she publishes a prize sketch every month if you fancy joining in) and the July challenge criteria over at S J Crafts ... to pick 1 each of shape, colour, phrase/theme from 5 choices ...
... and to tell the story of last year's Easter Egg Hunt that almost didn't happen!!!
As No.1 & No.2 Son were both occupied elsewhere during the Easter holidays, I'd thought that Child No.3 wouldn't be bothered with our usual garden hunt for plastic eggs filled with clues to the whereabouts of something large and chocolatey ...
... but when I saw her looking expectantly out of the window on Easter morning, trying to spot her pink and purple plastic eggs I realised my mistake! Luckily I was able to set up the hunt in Granny's garden instead and nobody was any the wiser ... until today :-)
The title has been cut with Sizzix Round-a-Bout dies and outlined with my journalling pen and the subtitle has been Dymo-punched with whitewash coredinations. I'll let you into another secret too (those three squares and the clear letter stickers are covering up an unfortunate bare tummy and an ugly piece of metal on the wall - funny how these imperfections influence the final page isn't it?!)

Another lovely page. What a clever cover-up: you AND her! :).
What a charming snapshot - and your page complements it so.
I love those title letters. They remind me of those Sassafras letters - I hoarded a whole load of them and are too stingy to use them!
What a fun page, I love so many bits on it ... Actually I'm wrong! I love it all
haha!! I used to love planning easter egg hunts but my children asked me not to hide them in the garden once they reached a certain teen-age as they said it was embarrassing if the neighbours saw them! Miss those days of having children to do that with but hope now I have resigned from my day job that I can have more time with my granddaughters instead....

Lovely layout. I definitely love your creativity with masking the parts you don't like!
Great use of the dots to tie in with the background paper.
