Bride

A Vogue bride for the wedding challenge at Take a Word today.

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.

Shades of Blue

Blue Monday? . . . . . . . not really :) -  my entry for Take a Word  Blue challenge. Have a great Monday!

Purple in Paris

Oh how I love purple, oh how I love Paris, oh how I love vintage . . . . . my entry for Three Muses Vintage Collage/Memories challenge.

The rat and the rooster

In Chinese astrology the rat and the rooster is not compatible - as both are competitive creatures. Rooster is outspoken, keen on the spotlight and grabbing attention - the natural defense of the rat is to nag at the rooster. However this was not the inspiration for my design, our beloved pet rat died over the weekend and I thought it would be fun to include a rat in my design, they love to sit on a height and look at their small world - I will miss her inquisitive cute little face. The rat and rooster and fan graphics are from Graphics fairy - linking to Brag Monday.

Time for a lifesaver

Cannot remember when last I had a lifesaver, could you resist biting them - I never could! ;) - my entry for the circles and squares challenge over at Three Muses 

Travel

Oh travel . . . . what a wondrous thing - just love it and hope that I will have the opportunity to do so again one day - but for now I will be happy to show you what's in my mind's eye!  My entry for the Take a Word travel challenge.

Equilibrium

Friday freebie - Postal rates

One of my precious possessions is a 1974 diary in which my mom wrote recipes. While paging through it for the millionth time, I found all kind of interesting things in the first few pages - amongst other, this summary of postal rates - click here for your free copy. Have a great weekend!

Hallo sweetheart

My entry for the vintage challenge at Three Muses is a love story  . . . . I hope it ended well! Don't you just love the beautiful handwriting!

Fashion on the square

This fashionable lady is from a vintage sewing pattern -  I love her little hat and off course the square bag! This is my entry for the square art challenge over at Theme Thursday and after a few suggestions from blog friends - also the number challenge at Three Muses.

Cozy seat

I was so happy when I saw the Sunday Postcard Art challenge was mushroom this week. This beautiful mushroom image was posted by the Graphics Fairy a week or two ago and I could hardly wait to use it. Linking to Brag Monday.

Patchwork stamp

I'm not much of a seamstress, but this digital stitching was good fun - my contribution for the patchwork theme at Sunday Postcard.

Pigeon post

In a way pigeon post could be considered the first form of airmail. Pigeons are still used to carry messages in some remote regions of the world where other postal options are not available, and pigeon enthusiasts also keep birds for the purpose of sending messages to other enthusiasts, keeping this ancient tradition alive. This is my entry for the Mail Art challenge at Three Muses.

Friday freebie - 4711 stamp

One of my most treasured belongings is a small bottle of 4711 Eau de Cologne that belonged to my mother. It has a special place on my dresser and I love looking at the beautiful label, but most of all the scent is wonderful. I scanned the label and made this stamp from it, click here for your free stamp.

Friday freebie - purple phlox

I have this big old book with a leather belt around it - my mom use to press flowers and leaves in it, she then made beautiful arrangements with the flowers and framed it. After 20 years some of the flowers are just a speckle of dust and some preserved well - like these garden phlox. I scanned them and then enhanced the colour digitally. Click here for your free bunch of phlox.

Siblings

This is my entry for Collage Obsession's theme this week - Siblings.
