 There's a brand new mega collection debuting in stores today, this one has Spring joy bursting out of it!

Introducing #2026 April — a fresh, joyful digital scrapbook collection that captures the heart of springtime renewal and playful April charm.

This collection blooms in a cheerful palette of pink, yellow, green, and teal, bringing together the softness of spring florals with bright, happy accents. It celebrates the spirit of Easter with adorable bunnies, decorated eggs, and a meaningful cross, blending whimsy and faith in a beautifully balanced way.

You’ll also find delightful rainy day elements, including cozy rubber boots and a sweet little duck holding an umbrella, splashing through puddles—perfect for capturing those gentle April showers moments.

Packed with versatility, this set includes an abundance of filler and layering pieces like blooming flowers, lush greenery, flowing ribbons, and vintage-inspired ephemera. Coordinating April-themed labels, words, and phrases make documenting your memories effortless and cohesive.

Best laid plans .... gone awry

 Sometimes the best plans don't reach the end result that was planned at all.  Connie had a new collection ready to go and then ran into some computer issues that has delayed the release of that collection.  It's worth waiting for though and as soon as Connie can get it into her stores we'll do a full reveal.

I was lucky that we had Spring Break recently because that gave me time to explore my creativity with some of Connie's kits that I had been stockpiling on my EHD.  Here are a few for your weekend inspiration with links to the kits that I used.

Created with Outside the Lines.  The watercolor flower card is one that I created using one of my recent photos of the flowers we have in our front planters. Everything else came from the kit.


I may be slightly obsessed with turning some of my flower photos into watercolor cards.  This layout was also created with Outside the Lines.

Created with #2026 March.  I love this time of year.  We had some really pretty days to go hiking/exploring either at State Parks or Nature Preserves within driving distance of home so we could take part of the day to get out and enjoy the outdoors.  The dogwoods were at their peak and so pretty!


Created with #2025 March.  I also love trying out different filters on my photos.  This one of my husband on one of our hikes fit perfectly with one of my favorite Irish Blessings.


The Spring Scrap-A-Thon at Ginger Scraps is running close to the end.  I didn't make the top level this year but I did manage to finish 10 challenges.  Did you take part in the challenges?  Which one was your favorite?  I loved the ones I was able to complete and stretched my creativity wings a bit.  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead of you!  I'm going to leave you with this Quick Page Freebie that Theresa made with Outside the Lines.  Enjoy!
