1980 Easter Scrapbook Pocket Pages

This top part is short and sweet, rather to the point.

Whereas the bottom layout description is lengthy. You've been warned.

I used stamps by Lawn Fawn Harold's ABCs for name labels as usual 

I also used these Lawn Fawn stamps:

Violet's ABCs for the first card #1 and #5

Riley's ABCs for the word Easter

The arrow stamp is by Heidi Swapp. 

I would stamp the first time when the ink was its wettest on the outside

Then I'd huff on the stamp and stamp it again moving in toward the center

I think this technique is called generation stamping. 

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

These planner stamp sets are the perfect size for my pocket pages.

The diamonds, squares, and Ampere sign are stickers by Creative Memories

The gold number stickers, 1980, are by Stickabilities (7/8" Hand Drawn)

The cross sticker is by Recollections

Next.

The Brick background stamp is by Deep Red Stamps.

I stamped the above on off-white cardstock and then onto a Lawn Fawn die cut

I lined the bricks up on the paper and the die cut

I was trying to give it a dimensional feel.

My list of Lawn Fawn stamps for this page include:

Of course Harold for the labeling people

The word Easter and the egg are from one of their planner stamp sets

The word birthday is from the Everything stamp set.

The 1980 number stamps are by Stampin Up

I used some square brads in a few cards.

I labeled some of the photos with labels from the computer. 

When there are more people, the stamped labels are too big to fit on the cards. 

Plus I don't have their names already stamped out in different colors on different colored cardstock like I do with the intermediate family. 

When I make one name label for a family member, I make a ton of them.

Honestly, the names are relatively short-Joe, Dan, Paul, Oma, and Opa. 

When I do a Mike label, I switch out the last two letters and do Mimi.

Steve and David are the longest names and sometimes I switch out letters for their names since they both have a v in their names.

Moving on, the green border stickers in the middle row and center bottom row are from Creative Memories

I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to stamp the word birthday on the sticker.

The arrow sticker is by Becky Higgins Project Life.

So here's my WTH rant.

The brick sticker in the corner is by Forever in Time 

I bought at Dollar Tree

This one little pile of bricks sticker is the only one that I could find in my stash.

I have a folder of just "Tools"

I have a Creative memories 3" thick binder of just "Boy Stickers" 

I have a binder with a folder of die-cuts for the male gender

I have a folder for Manly Monday, more masculine crap 

Plus I can't forget all of the other folders and binders that

I went through looking for some damn bricks!

And this one cheapy dollar store sticker is the only one I found.

Thank you for looking and listening to my silly rant.

I looked for and did not find a wheel barrel sticker

This causes me to get more creative in the coming pages.

I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this but Opa was a bricklayer. 

Hence, the more than usual bricklaying projects in these photos.
