Easter is upon us....

 Another Easter throwback for you.

I made a couple of variants of this cards when I was away on our family holiday last September.  I did not take much with me but I did know that I wanted to use some new paper I had and a Close To My Heart stamp set that I bought at a craft de stash.

I have no idea how old this stamp is but I could no resist those cute bunnies. 
One of the things that I love about stamps is that generally speaking they have no "expiration" date.  Sure some styles go out of fashion or are no longer considered trendy but you can use stamps over and over again and change the look or feel of them by using different colours, papers and styling them in a different way.

It got me thinking about all those older stamps that I have not been showing any love to over the past few years so I am going to try and use some of those neglected older sets and breathe some new life into them again.

Everything old is new again.

   

An Easter Throwback....

An little Easter throwback for you in more ways than one.

For a start Miss T here is so much bigger and filled with a ton more attitude and eye rolls these days and secondly this was a layout started quite some time ago but that dreaded self doubt and indecisiveness came to visit and this layout sat in a pile of incomplete layouts for a really long time.

If I am being honest it was the two things that I struggle with the most that got to me....

Titles and Journaling, urrgh.

I am currently on a journey to work out to rectify this problem and find some solutions, one of the biggest hurdles I have and that I hate my handwriting on my layouts and I hate sitting at the computer and creating digital journaling so I am going to invest in fixing up a typewriter that I have and hopefully that helps me with that problem.

Titles, well that is a problem for future Erin to work out.

Aside from that how cute is this layout?

So different from what I would normally create but I love all the different pastel papers and tags all over the place.  Again as with most of my creations this is a great mix of old and new, brands and generic.  Some of the paper is from big box store stacks, some of the stickers are from a sticker book from Aldi and some of the paper and tags are from brands found at the scrapbook shop, I am quite partial to that carrot patterned paper if I am being honest.
