Dear valentine freebie

Are you planning your valentine's day yet? If you are still looking for a card. . . .  I made one for you to print, click here for the pdf. Just take care when printing on a laser printer to write with a felt tip pen, the surface seems to be a bit waxy and gel and rollerball pens doesn't work that well in my experience. Hope you have a lovely valentine's day! xxx

Blue dress

This dress reminds me of a blue dress I had as a teenage girl - it actually drove my mom crazy, because for a while there I was kinda hooked on blue and wanted no clothes if it wasn't powder blue! Now it's my turn and often makes me smile when my daughter is very specific about what she wants to wear and what she will not wear, although she is actually very easy going when it comes to clothes.

R is for rooster

Another alphabet card, you can find the others here, here and here.

Friday freebie- Keep moving tags

Keep moving . . . . . . this is my catchphrase at the moment, hope you can use it in some way to remind you to keep moving! Click here for the pdf.

P is for pear

Another alphabet flashcard - I love making these! The beautiful pear image from Graphics Fairy, linking to Brag Monday.

With love

Just a little card made with love  . . .  right click on the image to save - print on card, cut the page in half horizontally and fold in the middle - have fun!

Lady in red

It is not my favourite song, but the only one I could think of :-) My entry for the song challenge at Take a word this week.

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 - birdcage notecards1

I really enjoy making these cards - hope you like them! Click here for the pdf. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend, enjoy!

Pegasus

I love the colours on this beautiful rose garland card from Graphics Fairy - I decided to do something different and challenged myself to only work with the one image and one other element, so I filled and outlined the Pegasus with the garland and also filled the typeface with it. My entry for the flight challenge at Take a Word, also linking to Brag Monday over at Graphics Fairy.

Friday freebie - vintage crockery recipe cards

If you're like me - always collecting recipes, have these handy in the kitchen or in your bag, so next time you have to write down that special recipe you can write it on a card instead of scribbling it on any old piece of paper. I love these bowls and dishes, they are from a vintage advertisement, click here for the pdf. Enjoy!!!

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.

Friday freebie - gingham heart valentine card

You should see me on a Thursday evening - rummaging through every closet and drawer in my house in order to find something to scan for a freebie ; -), so last night I found a piece of gingham fabric  . . . you can click on the image for the pdf with two valentine cards. Enjoy your weekend!

Lavender

Of course I had to start with something green for a botanical theme ;-) - so I picked this frame and just knew that I had to use lavender with it. Lavender must be one my favourite plants/flowers - there is a lavender hedge that frames the pathway to my front door and I just love smelling and seeing it before entering the house. This is my entry for the botanical challenge at Take a Word.

Daffodils

I am always so excited to see the first daffodil bloom in my garden and in the words of William Wordsworth - "then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils" So when I saw the Spring challenge at Theme Thursday, my first thought was daffodils. The daffodil image is a black and white drawing from Graphics Fairy - I just love to experiment with various techniques to add colour to these drawings.
