Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone.

And a Happy Passover also.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Mine has been busy but not. I spent an hour on the phone chatting with a friend. I found a cake recipe I was looking for to make something sweet for our Easter dinner (just the hubby and me-we've got to be safe), and I rode to the transfer station, aka the dump, with the hubby. We also brought our lunch with us too and had an in car picnic overlooking a local lake.   I also found a little art time to partially finish  a project I've been working on.

I used an accordian book I had and got one stretched out open side finished. The book has a spring theme, and on this side I went vintage using some images, stamps and other items I had in my stash.

I thought today, being Easter,  would be a good day to show it.

 The first 2 1/2 folds I used this bunny napkin as my background. I did some stamping on it, as well as added the pink daisy image which I snipped in half. You can see half on the bottom left and half on the right hand side. I also included some lace on the top as well a few little spring colored buttons.

You can see half of the dairy more clearly here. I painted the 2 backgrounds, one pink and one blue. I used the same stamp on each once the paint dried but used a colored ink that more or less matched the background. On the pink side I added the vintage image of the 2 girls as well as a bunny die cut out of holographic paper that I received from someone. And I added white paint dots around the image. On the left I used another vintage image, added some lacey cloth trim along the bottom and then added some little blue plastic sticky dots, as well as stamping the quote.

The next bit of paint was light lavender. I added some vintage flower images as well as the girl with her sheep or goat (I couldn't quite figure that one out). The bunny with the bow is a stamped image and I also stamped some words in purple on the background. 

I used some flowery paper for the background of the next piece. I added some little pink plastic sticky dots, a TH little girl, and then cut the rabbits (hares) out of some vellum paper I had. 

And for my final pages I used a rose image I had and created the leaves, stamped the bunny, dragonflies and words. The edge of that page is made with scraps from the vellum I cut out above.

And finally I added this vintage chick image on which I stamped the spring definition. I added a bit more of the lace trim, put a little glitter glue on the center of the flowers, and used a scrap from the vullum on the top.

And there you have it.  I am thinking on the other side I might go a little less romantic style vintage and maybe a little more kitschy or fun. But let's see where inspiration takes me.

I'm not sure this is really a geometric shape booklet but I did find lots of circles and a few ovals, so I am going to go with that and link up to Valerie's challenge at Art Journal Journey

I hope you enjoyed these views and want to say thanks for visiting my blog.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
