Vintage Rose Cameo

Hello Everyone!

It's been too long since I pulled out my Prima paper pad "Tales of You and Me". I have to say, this collection is one of my favourites when I want to do something girly and vintage! All of those roses and shades of pink, what's not to love!

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the silk ribbon is from Michael's Craft Store, the wood leaf flourishes are from Scrapiniec, the rose cameo is from The Funkie Junkie and everything else is from my stash. 

Loving my new laces and want to send out a huge thank you to Patty of Creating with Paper and Bows. She makes such beautiful shabby chic pieces and always uses the most gorgeous laces! She inspired me to invest some money in a stash of nice Venice laces, and I am so glad that I did. Thanks Patty!

Well I believe that's a wrap for autumn. There are a few leaves here and there desperately clinging to the trees, but a stiff wind will take those away leaving only a skeleton of a forest behind. This is the last of my autumn photos, lots of crafting for me until the white comes to visit. lol

"Thank gosh for evergreen trees because I look great in green!" 

~Mr Blue Jay~

"Yaaaaawnyawn. I'm sooooo tired from collecting peanuts all day! Exhausting work!" 

~Tingle~

"You look like a perfectly lovely lady, but I think I'll stay up here just the same."

You may remember seeing a couple of photos of Sweet Cheeks in my last few posts. She is new to the neighbourhood, but has quickly become a face I always look for. She's quite the little poser and she's always first in line for lunch. And how about those ears! Lol

Is it an alien planet?? Nope, it's a macro of some very cool miniature fungi growing on a fallen tree trunk. So colourful and amazing, love it!

That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.

Frilly and Funkie - Be My Valentine

Hello Everyone!

It's time for another challenge over at Frilly and Funkie. This time Zoe is the hostess and she has chosen the theme "Be My Valentine".

Sadly, this will be my last challenge with Frilly and Funkie. I have really enjoyed the two years I have spent as a team member there, but as I'm sure you all know, crafting sometimes has to take a back seat for a while. I'm so thankful to Linda and Jenny for being so supportive over the last two years, what wonderful leaders and amazing artists they both are. I wish them all the best for whatever the future brings them.

All of the following products that I used can be purchased at The Funkie Junkie Boutique:

My landscape photos today were taken here at the lake back in December when we had our first snowfall and our first freeze. I miss the lovely December weather.

For my birds today I have this sweet Black Capped Chickadee...

my token male Cardinal shot...

a female House Sparrow...

MISSY:

"Winter isn't so bad. You just gotta close your eyes and pretend you're on the beach. Yum, Peanut-Colada! 

MR CHUBB:

"All I see here are mushrooms and grapes! Pleeeeeease tell me you didn't take peanuts off the menu!"

TUBBY TESSA:

"Hey, what can I say, just living up to my name!"

For my macro today, some frozen pine needles from up north.

That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
