Not Just Cards April challenge - Easter

Not Just Cards (but cards also welcome) April challenge - Easter
http://notjustcardschallenges.blogspot.com.au/
and our sponsor this month is Fabrika Fantasy who has given the design team some lovely digi stamps to use
http://www.fabrikafantasy.com/
I didn't have to request one as I have joined the Fabrika Fantasy digi club which is very good value.   When you join you get 5 images by direct download and then 24 hours later you receive a link to download as many images as you want.  Then you will receive all the new images each month.
You can join for 3 months or 12 months.   I originally joined for 3 months but now have upgraded to 12 months.
Details of the 12 month digi club is here

I have made a journal page

I have used Fabrika Fantasy precoloured digi Easter Bunny (when you purchase this digi you receive the coloured one and the black and white one)
Paper from We are 3 Watercolour paper collection.
Easter egg story from the internet.

I would like to add this journal page to the following:
