The fox and the hound

A collage of some of my favourite things, I find it difficult to express in words my love for owls - aren't they just the most wonderful creatures. Lately I am fascinated with foxes, and don't get me started on my forever love for roses and shades of green and pink and vintage labels, postcards, birdcages . . . you get the picture :)

Pooch mail

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

Bride

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

Summer blue

Winter is upon us, but today was such a beautiful almost summer day and it made me think of wearing a pretty summer dress and going for a stroll along the beach with an ice cream in hand. Not at all what I did, but I should have!

I heart

Last night I tried to catch up on some of my favourite blogs. I literally felt like a kid in a candy store when I visited the Graphics Fairy. Karen posted the most beautiful images during December and January, one of which was this pretty heart with the rose and butterfly! The birdie is also a favourite from Karen's blog - linking to Brag Monday. 

Friday freebie - Calendar February

I have to tell you that I am so overwhelmed by the fact that I have more than 3 followers, when I started my blog I hoped that at least my 3 best friends would join :) I want to thank all of you for taking the time to visit and leave kind words - I really appreciate it! Here is your Feb calendar - I also made one without the valentine touch, they are both on the pdf. Have a great 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

Rose ampersand

This is so interesting - from Wikepedia, the ampersand can be traced back to the 1st century A.D. and the Old Roman cursive, in which the letters E and T occasionally were written together to form a ligature. Traditionally, in English-speaking schools when reciting the alphabet, any letter that could also be used as a word in itself ("A", "I", and, at one point, "O") was preceded by the Latin expression per se (Latin for "by itself"). Also, it was common practice to add at the end of the alphabet the "&" sign as the 27th letter, pronounced and. Thus, the recitation of the alphabet would end in: "X, Y, Z and per se and". This last phrase was routinely slurred to "ampersand" and the term crept into common English usage by around 1837.

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!

Little pink number

In fashion, black and white combos are so chic, but I have to say that I really do like a simple dress in a striking colour, don't you love these two stylish ladies? - my entry for the black and white challenge at Take a Word.

Friday freebie - rose cards

Hat

"If a woman rebels against high-heeled shoes, she should take care to do it in a very smart hat" - George Bernard Shaw - my entry for the Three Muses hats challenge.

Leopard spots and roses

When I saw the pink and brown challenge over at Theme Thursday, my first thought was hot chocolate and fluffy pink marshmallows- yum!!! I love the rich chocolate brown script of this card and I thought it pairs so well with the dusky pink roses - I decided on the leopard spots as a background for that touch of whimsy.

Cherry Blossom Tea

I just love the colours on this teacup, I have been waiting for an opportunity to use this image for so long! It is the weirdest thing how sometimes I just can't wait to use an image, but the inspiration is not there - and then  one day, I look at it and ideas just start flowing - love it!

Strawberries and roses

Due to Blogger problems I couldn't post the freebie on Friday - sorry about that! Right now though I wouldn't mind this plate of strawberries with a huge dollop of cream, the delectable strawberries and the background are from Graphics Fairy - 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!
