Easter Scrapbooking
Ideas
by Rachel
Paxton
Easter is a great time to
capture family photographs for scrapbooking.
Even if you don't scrapbook, planning your picture taking ahead of time ensures
you won't miss any of these great family memories. No family traditions? Then
this is a great time to start!
Here are some Easter photograph ideas for
scrapbooking:
Photograph spring flowers in bloom. Daffodils and tulips
will make a colorful contrast to your other photographs.
Have your kids
help you make Easter cookies or an Easter cake. Snap a picture of them working
in the kitchen and then make sure to take a picture of the finished product. We
made a layer cake and arranged it on a thick piece of cardboard covered with
aluminum foil. It was lemon cake with lemon filling and pink frosting. We
decorated it with store-bought Easter candy. Around the base of the cake we
arranged Easter grass and added chocolate eggs and peeps for decoration. It made
a great picture!
Gingerbread houses aren't just for Christmas! Make a
gingerbread house and decorate it for Easter with pastel colors and lots of
Easter candy. The possibilities are limitless.
If your family attends
Easter church services, make sure to get a picture of your girls in their Easter
dresses. Dressing up is a great excuse to take a picture.
Coloring Easter
eggs never gets old, whatever the age of your kids! They never get tired of
showing you how creative they are. Join in on the fun and then take a picture
of the finished product.
Easter egg hunts are also fun for the whole
family. Take some good action pictures and get a picture of your kids with their
Easter baskets.
Easter dinners are a great time to take family pictures.
It's a good time to take pictures of relatives you don't often see, and fun to
get pictures of the family laughing and enjoying a meal together. Take pictures
of any of the good food you want to remember later.
Have fun picture
taking, and have a happy Easter!
