You've got mail

You know I just love vintage postcards, so it is always fun to create mail art! My entry for the Take a word mail  challenge today.

She's a handful

What more can I say? . . . . . . :)

Flower girl

She's the latest craze and a very nifty new addition to the wedding procession, just wheel her in, in front of the bride and store her in the cupboard afterwards, until the next wedding - every church should have one! My entry for Three Muses Land of Odd challenge

Admit one

"The world's run on tricks. Everyone plays" ~ Water for Elephants. My entry for Three Muses That's Entertainment challenge

Face of a child

I bet you can see the child in you, in one of these faces . . . . my entry for the childhood challenge at Take a Word today.

Friday freebie - Vintage postcard 2

Here's this week's  freebie, it's another vintage postcard - click on the picture to download. Have a great weekend!

American Girl

I had lots of fun designing a faux magazine cover for my entry for the stars and stripes challenge at Take a Word this week, the girl is from a vintage gum advertisement and she was dressed in pink - I used a vintage flag to dress her up for the occasion. I've used this lovely antique background from the Graphics Fairy so many times, it is so beautiful with all the scrolls and flourishes - linking to Brag Monday and many thanks to my favourite fairy in the whole wide world. Happy fourth of July to all my friends in the US!

Friday freebie - Bingo Father's day card

I seem to be in a bingo card phase - gotta love them! I made this father's day card for you to print - click here for the pdf. Have a great weekend everyone!

Cutest rodeo

I had some fun with this rodeo poster from the Graphics Fairy, let's just say I added the cute factor ;-) Linking to Brag Monday

Parasol

Just a pretty girl, with a pretty dress going for a stroll  - my entry for the Take a Word umbrella challenge.

Green

Oh . . . . how I love green, there is just something about it - it makes me feel alive! My entry for the Take a Word green challenge. Happy St Patrick's day to all my Irish friends!

Sweethearts

I only recently found this Victorian graphic of children ice skating on Karen's blog, so nice to discover a treasure like that - she posted it in 2008 - so cute! The postcard is also from Graphic's Fairy - linking to Brag Monday. Can't help but wonder . . . . are these two still holding hands?

Fairy door

Can you see the fairy hiding behind the door, and the little elve behind the bunny - how about the leprechaun between the grass? Well neither can I, but it sure is nice to imagine it . . . do you believe in fairies? My entry for Take a Word door challenge

Dear Santa . . .

. . . .just calling to check whether you received my card . . . . . . in case you didn't - could you please deliver love and happiness to all my friends all over the world!  Tomorrow is a public holiday and my vacation starts on Friday, so this is my last post for the year - see you all in the New Year! Best wishes!
My entry for the childhood challenge over at Take a Word.

Butterfly kisses

Due to an attack of the gremlins, I could not post yesterday, this beautiful girl and the butterflies are from Graphic's Fairy - linking to Brag Monday.

Hourglass

"To fill the hour - that is happiness" - Ralph Waldo Emerson. The background is from Graphics Fairy, I am not sure - I think the birdie is also from Karen's blog, although I changed the colour. Linking to Brag Monday.

Pink

What can I say - I love pink and always enjoy a colour challenge, so the pink theme from Theme Thursday was pure joy!

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.
