Butterfly Tea

One sip of this tea and you are guaranteed to have butterflies in the stomach! My sample picture for the wings challenge at Take a Word. Almost all the butterflies used are from Graphics Fairy - linking to Brag Monday. Oh yes, I nearly forgot - no butterflies were harmed in the making of this design :-) Thanks for visiting!

Friday freebie - stitched labels

You can use these as tags or labels or even fold them in half an use as a little cupcake topper flag. The Good Food and Wine show is in Cape town this weekend and I am so looking forward to it, hope you have something exciting planned - enjoy whatever you do!

Lilac boot

Congratulations to the Three Muses with their second blog birthday this week, it's always fun taking part in their challenges. My entry for their blue theme this week.

Knit one, slip one

I am not starting to blog about knitting ;-) If you are a follower you probably noticed my posts have been irregular lately. I have to slow down and made the decision to only post every second day from now on. It is hard for me, because I really love this - but things are hectic and I just have to cut back on certain things.
So . . . . . see you tomorrow and don't worry - Friday freebies are not going anywhere.

Cherry Blossom Tea

I just love the colours on this teacup, I have been waiting for an opportunity to use this image for so long! It is the weirdest thing how sometimes I just can't wait to use an image, but the inspiration is not there - and then  one day, I look at it and ideas just start flowing - love it!

Friday freebie - bird tags

Oh my gosh, I am so happy that it's Friday - the public holiday on Wednesday just made me lazy! You know I love birds, so I made a set of bird related cards - click here to download, use as note or journal cards or gift tags. Have a great weekend everyone!

Oriental

I just love the colours on this kimono - my entry for the Oriental challenge over at Take a Word

Strawberries and roses

Due to Blogger problems I couldn't post the freebie on Friday - sorry about that! Right now though I wouldn't mind this plate of strawberries with a huge dollop of cream, the delectable strawberries and the background are from Graphics Fairy - linking to Brag Monday.

Mona Lisa

Want a beautiful complexion like me? Always wear a hat and only use products that are not tested on animals! ;-) My entry for the altered Mona challenge at Three Muses.

Chocolate cake

I have baked many cakes, but this is my first digital one, and might I add - I think it is very pretty ;-) My first attempt at making a vector image - the cake. My entry for the chocolate challenge over at Take a Word. What are you waiting for - get a plate, cut a slice and tuck in!

Friday freebie - mother's day card and envelope

I designed this card for mother's day, but you can pretty much use it for any occasion. Print on cardstock to make it nice and sturdy. You can download it here -  I hope my instructions are clear ;-) Have a great weekend! I used this beautiful french typography and this stunning french invoice from the Graphics Fairy for the envelope background. The card, birdie and birdcage also from Graphics Fairy - linking to Brag Monday.

Bloggiversary

I am so excited to share with you that today marks a year since my first post! It's truly been a great year and even though it was really tough to keep it up sometimes, it was so worth it! I have made so many friends through blogging and still enjoy every minute of it! I am still in awe of the more than 43000 visits I have had during this year and so thankful for my 145 followers! As a small token of my gratitude - I made this poster for you, just click on the image to save it. I really hope this message inspires you to pursue a dream!
