Happy Easter! Pink Saturday

This weekend we celebrate the most important event in human history! The resurrection of Jesus Christ. Tomorrow at daybreak we will celebrate Easter. Because Jesus died and rose again, we all can have hope of a future - not just here on earth, but for eternity in heaven. Praise God for his immeasurable grace!

Today I will share with you just a few "pinks" in honor of Easter. First is my little thrift store bunny that welcomes my guests in my entry way.

Next is a two-page spread in one of my altered books. It is still a work in progress, but I think it is turning out beautifully.

And here are close-ups of each separate page.

Right Page
These pages are in an oversized book - actually an old atlas - that I am loving working on. I first gessoed the pages, then applied a decorative napkin with matte medium. I then cut out the beautiful ladies from a calendar I had for last year. To pull the ladies into the overall spread, I added the big pink roses you see with an old rubber stamp set I have from Stampin' Up and then added more detail with a dark pink marker.  I have a few more elements I plan to add, but I thought I would show you the in-progress pages.

And lastly, I will share with you the rest of my Vintage Bunny and Chicks book from my swap at Altering Without Limits Yahoo Group.

Vintage Bunnies & Chicks II -Pink Sat.

Today I am joining in with the Pink Saturday Party being held over at Beverly's at How Sweet the Sound. I am going to show a few more pages from the completed Vintage Bunnies and Chicks Book swap that we did over at AlteredWithoutLimits (AWOL) Yahoo Group.


Page by Cathee Stegall www.catartnsoul.blogspot.com
It is hard to see the wonderful dimension on these pages through the lens of a camera, but this page has beautiful prima flowers, tags and handmade paper that give the page a wonderful, textural touch.


The page on the left is the back of the Best Friends page and the right is another wonderful page of musical bunnies. The music page has a pocket with a tag.

Here it is showed with the tag exposed.

And the back of the page.

These ladies did such an awesome job with their pages. My friends have all been ooh-ing and ahh-ing over them. They are all so tactile and beautiful. I will be posting more of the pages as we approach Easter. Stay tuned!

Beverly has asked us to highlight a special blog we have visited and today I would like to highlight Pat over at  The Artful Diva.  She has the most wonderful blog and often has great instructions for her projects. I am just loving her wonderful art journaling posts. Maybe you have met her during your Pink Saturday ramblings, but if not, please stop by and enjoy perusing her wonderful blog. I know you will be blessed and inspired!
