Welcome to the first My Mind’s Eye blog hop! My name is Amber Packer and this is your next to last "hop"!  I am sure you have enjoyed the fabulous creations the other designers have shared with you.

I just LOVE spring.  It’s a time of renewal.  I love watching earth slowly wake up and the kids begin to play outside.  It’s also a time where I pick myself back up and renew my exercise routine, cleaning habits, etc.  This weekend I will be renewing my efforts to be a better me.

Each Easter we go to my husband’s Grandma’s house for a gigantic Easter egg hunt!  Her house has gigantic trees and a creek runs through her property.  It’s the perfect backdrop for the BIG hunt!

The boys are in outfits that look good together, so I didn't change the photos to black & white, but with the combination of blue and orange, I decided to go a bit non-traditional and use Ooh La La's beautiful fall colors for this Easter layout.  I think it works!

The papers are all Ooh La La with one new So Sophie Graceful paper thrown in.  I've used the Ooh La La Accessory sheet, Brown Lush Flocked and Blue Lush Chipboard alphabets and a bling swirl from Zva Creative. 

Thrill of the Hunt

I hope you’ve had a great time visiting a few of my talented friend’s blogs.  Your last "hop" will be back to the

My Mind’s Eye blog

I hope you took the time to comment on each blog you visited on your way here.  Remember to leave a comment on the My Mind’s Eye blog and email all 5 spring words to amber@mymindseye.com (that’s me). 

If you just happened to hop in here from somewhere else … take a minute and hop over to the My Mind’s Eye blog so you can play with us!

I hope you enjoyed your stop here.  Look around.  I hope you'll find value in what I have written. 

p.s. Did you notice there is a giveaway in the post below, clip_image001too?

    This is such a beautiful page. I always love seeing pages that aren’t “girlie”. As a mom of 2 boys I’m always looking for boy inspiration!

    I love your layout….kinda makes me a little sad…my two wonderful children said that they were now to old to color and hunt Easter eggs…I was not ready for that one! Enjoy EVERY moment as they grow because one day they are full grown teenagers and would prefer to not wear a cute Easter Dress to church or hunt eggs….hmmmm
