Miss Apple jam

Just a little bit of fun with the torso tag challenge over at Three Muses. Thanks for visiting and have a great day everyone!

Queen Eliza-zetti

Once upon a time there was a queen, she went for a stroll on her lawn, oh so green . . . . .  she had a real passion for eclectic fashion and love to watch the lilies grow in the green meadow. My entry for Three Muses I've been Zettied challenge -what fun!

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!

Queen of desserts

I think a fancy treat like this deserves a crown! The true origin of the blanc-mange is obscure, but it is believed that it was a result of the Arab introduction of rice and almonds in early medieval Europe. All the images used are from Graphics Fairy - linking to Brag Monday.

Keys

This little birdie seems to collect shiny things, like crowns and keys . . .  my entry for Three Muse's keys challenge

Bloom

"where flowers bloom, so does hope." ~ Lady Bird Johnson. My entry for the Take a Word bloom challenge.

Friday freebie - journal cards

Do you keep a journal?  I made some journal cards for you, or use them as gift tags, click here for the pdf. Have a super duper weekend dear friends!

Crow

I really like this saying about planting seeds - “One for blackbird, one for the crow, one for the cutworm, and one to grow.” My entry for the blackbird challenge at Take a Word

The pig

"They want my bacon slice by slice, to sell at a tremendous price! They want my tender juicy chops, to put in all the butcher's shops! They want my pork to make a roast, and that's the part'll cost the most! They want my sausages in strings, they even want my chitterlings, The butcher's shop! The carving knife! That is the reason for my life!" Roald Dahl - The pig

Just for the record - I do eat bacon and I've heard that pigs make great pets. The pig image is from the Graphics Fairy  - linking to Brag Monday.

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

Bye Bye Blackbird . . .

I experimented with some sepia filters to give this piece a bit of a dark feel. I love how the red roses contrasts with the black! My entry for the Three Muses challenge, Blackbird.

Lavender & Lime

Oh . . . how I enjoyed the  favourite colour combo challenge from Theme Thursday! I just love the combination of these two colours! The background is part of a french document that Miette from Chez La Miette bricole shared with Karen from the Graphics Fairy - two very generous ladies! Due to time difference, I am still in time to share this on Brag Monday.

Snow Queen

My inspiration for this design was the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen: " Kay's grandmother tells the children about the Snow Queen, who is ruler over the snowflakes, that look like bees — that is why they are called "snow bees." As bees have a queen, so do the snow bees, and she is seen where the snowflakes cluster the most." My entry for the winter challenge at Theme Thursday.

I am still in time to sneak this one in for Brag Monday - the crown, the bees and the background are from Graphics Fairy.

A perfect pear

I seem to have fruit on my mind lately ;-) The beautiful birdie, the crown and the nest are all from 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!

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.

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 - Entrée ticket

I found this ticket stub while going through my little box of treasures from a holiday in Europe, which was some 20 odd years ago. This was from a museum visit in Paris - such wonderful memories! I changed it a little bit to hide the logo's etc, click here for your free copy.

Queen of green

Now there's a title that describes me ;-) I simply could not resist using my favourite colour again - I love how dramatic the green looks with the black! The crown, stones and silhouette are from Graphics Fairy, so I am linking to Brag Monday. I always look forward to a Monday to hop over there and see all the creative and inspiring ideas - thanks for visiting if you're coming from there.

Tea anyone?

I love this quote from Alice in Wonderland, so funny!
"Of all the silly nonsense, this is the stupidest tea party I've ever been to in all my life"
