Time out

Hi everyone, I have been out of action for two days with a cold. I was planning to take a blog break next week with the long weekend and a one week school holiday coming up, but have decided to start it now, since I am still not feeling great and have not touched my computer. Keep well!

Blooming shoe

Pink is a garden of soft spring flowers - one of my favourite colours to use! This perfect hydrangea image was posted by the Graphics Fairy  - linking to Brag Monday.

Friday freebie - Vintage button card

Grab your free button card here. I left it blank so you can play around with it to your hearts content - scan a few of your favourite buttons and make your own unique card or just be crazy like me and use something else as buttons. Have fun!

Feelin' blue

I interpreted the feelin' blue challenge at Sunday Postcard Art as a colour challenge and not an emotional one, but looking at this now these giant asters do look a bit sad ;-)

The printed word

As much as I love the convenience of reading daily news online, there is nothing like taking the Saturday newspaper and reading it from front to back. Don't get me started on the old fashioned typewriter - I am going to get myself one of those one day and type on it everyday - love the sound and the smell of the ink ribbon! My entry for the printed word challenge at Three Muses.

Autumn

Golden harvest

I was super excited to use this sweet little girl image posted by the Graphics Fairy last week - just needed something for her to hold. The wheat and  crown images are also from Karen's blog - linking to Brag Monday.

Friday freebie - Pearl button

I scanned a few of my favourite buttons last night and this one turned out quite nicely so I decided to make a vintage button card with it, click here for your free button. Have a great weekend!

Orange blossom

I decided to use this black and white image from the Graphics Fairy for the fruit challenge at Sunday Postcard Art , while I was colouring it, I couldn't stop thinking about a summer cocktail called Orange blossom - here is the recipe: Shake up 1 part gin with 1 part Bianco vermouth and 1 part unsweetened orange juice. Pour over some ice cubes and decorate with a slice of orange - try it, it is delicious!

Fashion on the square

This fashionable lady is from a vintage sewing pattern -  I love her little hat and off course the square bag! This is my entry for the square art challenge over at Theme Thursday and after a few suggestions from blog friends - also the number challenge at Three Muses.

Back to Nature

I've been busy the last few days with Christening invitations for my little niece, subsequently I did not spend a lot of time on this one, nevertheless here is my entry for the Three Muses challenge. With Spring in the air that is exactly what I want to do. . . . . . get out of the glass cloche - back to nature!

A Royal Affair

The crown governs the shoe . . . . or is it the other way around? I am linking to Brag Monday, the crown and ornate oval frame are from the Graphics Fairy. Karen has an amazing collection of crown images - check it out!

Friday freebie - Denim pocket

Click here for your free copy of the denim pocket. This is also my entry for Collage Obsession's challenge - Overall. Enjoy your weekend . . .Spring is finally here!

Shadow

Sunday Postcard Art challenge this week is - On the dark side. I love things to be bright and colourful  - so this was a hard one for me, this is the darkest I could go.

Half and half

I chose the perfect background, chose the perfect man . . . . . . and then I cut him in half - because I needed more than one man! ;-) No need to be alarmed . . . . it is only my entry for the vintage men challenge at Theme Thursday
