Pooch mail

I have been looking forward to use this cute dog from Graphics fairy -  so scruffy, yet adorable!

Fashion Police

A little bit of fashion fun on this Friday - I can't help but wonder what ladies from the 18th century would have said, if they had the chance to critique 20th century fashion.
Hope your weekend is great!

Sweet little girl

Sugar and spice, and all things nice, that's what little girls are made of . . . .

Dahlia hats

A little birdie thought these ladies needed some sprucing up, so now they have lovely floral hats with a bit of colour and pizzazz.

New year's freebie

Happy New Year, my wish for you is to have a wonderful 2014 filled with creative projects and lots of laughter! 2013 was a hectic, but amazing year for me - I took some time off to study and also ventured into starting my online shop - Vintage at Heart, which has been a great experience!

Let's kick off the year with a freebie. I am still contemplating whether the whole year will be a botanical theme - let me know what you would like to see on the calendar.
Just click on the image you prefer below to download - I made an English and an Afrikaans version

Botanical Tea

I loved playing around with colours to create the background. All these images are from Graphics Fairy

Bride

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

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.

Fashion circle

Two ladies from a vintage dress pattern - my entry for the circle challenge at Three Muses today.

Friday Freebie - Seedpacket notecards

I need some notecards, which means you are getting them as a freebie :) hope you like! You can click here for your own set. Wishing you a fabulous weekend!

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

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.

Friday freebie - Carnation bookmark

Time for some bookmarks, hope you like these. Tie them together with a pretty ribbon and you have a small gift for someone who loves to read. I find they last longer when laminated. Happy reading!

Blushing bride

The background and the frame which is from this apothecary label are both from Graphics Fairy. This is my entry for the wedding challenge over at Take a Word and also linking to Brag Monday. Hope you have a great Monday!

Friday freebie - floral notes

Print these on cardstock and use in craft/scrapbook projects or as gift tags, or print them on paper and bind a few together for a notepad which can serve as a last minute gift. Click here for the pdf, remember to choose  'fit to printable area' in your printing options. Enjoy your weekend!

Little bird

I know I probably use this little birdie too often in my designs, but just look at it - so gorgeous and adorable! My entry for Three Muses Postmark Paris challenge. The beautiful red roses, the darling birdie and the carte postale background are from the Graphics Fairy -  linking to Brag Monday.

From Paris with love

I had the pleasure of spending a few days in Paris in 1990, my memories still inspire me . . .  I hope to go back one day! My entry for the written word Three Muses challenge. The lovely cupid image, the Eiffel tower card, the butterfly and the Paris tag are all from the Graphics Fairy, what would I do without her!? - linking to Brag Monday.

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!

Lace and perfume

Two of my favourite things! The background, postcard, perfume bottle and birdie from Graphics Fairy. This is my entry for the Take a Word lace challenge, also linking to Brag Monday.

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.
