Friday freebie - September calendar

I am still here, just running around like crazy! I eventually finished a range of labels for a client that took much longer than anticipated - I would love to share it with you as soon as she launch her products, so watch this space. I am going on a short trip upcountry and hope that things will be back to "kind of normal" on my return. Here is your Sept calendar - as the 1st of Sept is Spring day in my part of the world, I also made a Spring version with some butterflies. Hope you like!

Two butterflies

It is my twentieth wedding anniversary today and it seems very unreal and great at the same time! I was tempted to post a picture of the happy couple 20 years ago, but decided against it :) So here is a couple of butterflies,  my entry for Three muses couples challenge today.

A bird in hand

"I'm a bird in your hand so take me as I am, you know what you are to me, don't make me say it over and over again . . . . "

Mademoiselle

Mademoiselle is the French title of courtesy given to a girl or an unmarried lady, equivalent to the English Miss.

Sepia

The lady - Lina Cavalieri was an Italian operatic soprano known for her beauty. All the images used are from the Graphics Fairy - linking to Brag Monday and also my entry for the sepia challenge at Take a Word this week

Friday freebie - butterfly takeout box

I love to make these little takeout boxes to package small gifts, it also works well for giving favors at a party. Click on the image to download, I had some computer problems and was unable to make a pdf - sorry. Hope your weekend is great!

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!

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.

Friday freebie - butterflies

Hope you like these butterflies I made, there is a .pdf version should you want to print them and use in scrapbooking etc.or click on the picture for the .png if you would like to use them in a digital project- have fun!

Puzzled pears

Don't worry, I am also puzzled about  this design ;-) My entry for the puzzle piece challenge at Theme Thursday.

Orange

"There is no blue without yellow and without orange." ~ Vincent Van Gogh. My entry for Theme Thursday's orange challenge.

Cabbage patch kids

My entry for the Land of Odd challenge at Three Muses this week.

Daisy tree

Spring brings to mind that first green leaves on a tree after winter, a bunch of beautiful white daisies and butterflies! My entry for the Three Muses Spring challenge

Haute couture . . .

. . . is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable seamstresses, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Therefore I consider myself a capable seamstress, having digitally sewn this dress with extreme attention to detail with time consuming, hand executed techniques from two different dresses ;-) The antique wire dress form, the background and the flowers are from the Graphics Fairy - linking to Brag Monday.

Time travel

I think I said it before, but here it is again - I would so LOVE to take a trip in a hot air balloon. It just seems so romantic! My entry for the time challenge at Three Muses

Butterflies

I suppose I could enter most of my designs for the Take a word butterflies challenge -  since I use butterflies all the time, but this one though is hot off the press ;-) I just love the burnt orange - it makes me happy!!!

Must love cats

Even though I am allergic to cats, I simply love them - just look at that adorable face! My entry for the nature's creatures challenge at Three Muses.

Dark lady

I simply love silhouette images, I want to try and make some over the holidays of our family. This is my 3rd last post for the year - wrapping things up for the summer holiday ahead - cannot wait! Linking to Brag Monday  silhouette, background and butterflies are from the Graphics Fairy.

Skating on thin ice

I just love this vintage patent background from the Graphics Fairy, can you believe it - an improvement on skates in 1867! Linking to Brag Monday

Paper moon

I love the sound of these two words together - it sounds romantic or nostalgic . . . . just say it out loud you'll know exactly what I mean! This is my entry for the Take a Word moon challenge.
