It’s Pink Saturday again at Cottage Dreamer! Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for once more hosting this fun day of sharing all things Pink!

Two weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be included in Bev’s blog as a featured site. Thank you so much to those of you who came to visit and commented. It’s always nice to hear that you enjoyed something you found on my site.

This week I’ve got a graphic for you. It’s a scan I did of a vintage iron-on applique. And of course it’s got Pink Roses in it. There are many things you can do with it and since it was scanned at 300 dpi you can even print it out larger than the approximate 5″ x 5″ that is currently. I can see this being printed out on printable fabric and then turned into a pincushion, or part of a pillow, or even to decorate a pocket on a vintage-looking apron. Or you could print it out in the size you need to put into a mixed-media project.

I hope you enjoy this basket of roses! Just click on the image below for the larger image and then save that to your hard drive.

Each week Bev asks us to feature another blog and this week I’d like to mention is Vintage Porcelain Art. Amy does some of the most beautiful vintage-style china painting I have seen. Each week she adds new items to her blog that make me wish I could build an addition to my condo. lol Also, if you follow the link to her “About Me” you will end up on her “Me” page at eBay where you can see the other things she does – like murals, body painting, acrylic paintings, and more.

I hope you all have a wonderful Pink Saturday!

A huge Thank You to Bev at How Sweet The Sound for hosting our weekly celebration of all things Pink. Make sure to check out all of the other sites she has listed.

This week in my mail one of the weekly newsletters I received was from Daisy Company, a place where you can find all kinds of wonderful graphics, printables, and more. This week’s freebie is a very pretty pink Mother’s Day card. I immediately thought that it would be perfect for Pink Saturday. I went to the site and downloaded it along with two other “pretty pinks” that I’ve listed below. Just click on the image and it will take you to the page that the item is featured on Daisie Company’s site.

While you’re at Daisie Company take a look around at all the fantastic things they have to offer. I love looking around and thinking of all the neat stuff I could do with so many of their printables – and to be honest, to save some money on printing my own cards, decorations, party favors, etc.


Have a wonderful and creative Pink Saturday!

This week I’d like to share a page of Pink Roses I put together from vintage images. You can print them out and use them in all sorts of Spring crafts. Hope you enjoy them – and hope that Spring gets here soon!

Just click on the image below and you’ll be taken to a PDF that you can save to your Hard Drive.

I just can’t wait for Spring. This seems like a way too long Winter and I’m ready for flowers, sunshine, and no more snow on the ground. This is the first year in a long time that I can remember the ground being covered with snow almost all Winter long. I want to open the windows and hear the birds singing. I want to sit out on my patio and watch the trees come into bloom. I’m going to really appreciate this Spring!

PS After I got this post done I realized I had posted these roses before many months ago. I hope some of you may not have seen them before – or maybe there are others like me who save things and then forget where the heck I put them on my HD.

I thought a nice way to spend a bit of my Monday would be to do a bit of surfing and look for Freebies that I could use for making some Christmas decorations. And what better way to spread the word about these wonderful gifts but to post about them.

The first one is Crafty Mumz Creations. One of the big Freebies she has is an entire book that you can print out to keep track of your Christmas traditions, recipes, memories, reminders, gifts to make, and on and on. She even gives you the templates so you can make up a book with your own sections. This is one very generous lady and I haven’t even scratch the surface of what else she has to offer.

I just found this fantastic site – got there from a link on Crafty Mumz. It’s Creating Christmas which has examples and links to dozens of Freebies.

This site has more than just free printables, it has free patterns as well. It’s Craft Ideas. I’ve been looking for information on making felt ornaments and other things and they have many links. Looks like I’ll be very busy this afternoon.

Hope you enjoy these links – and if you have any other sites please feel free to put them in the Comments.

Here’s two of my own Printable Freebies that you can download and use in creating your own personal Christmas decorations.

Holly Girls



Santa Claus/Father Christmas



It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – Isn’t it?

Note: This is a repeat of a past post. I’m not feeling well and completely forgot about Pink Saturday. I hope you enjoy these tags if you never saw them before. Nothing major wrong – just the change in weather that tends to put me in bad shape until I adjust to it.

This week I’ve got a free set of (mostly) “Pretty Pink Tags” that I designed awhile ago. I used some of my favorite die cuts to create these tags. If you do use them, I’d love to see what you come up with.

Click the above image for the PDF file – it will open in a new window. You will need Adobe Reader to view this file. It’s free and can be found HERE

These work very well being printed on cardstock and then could be embellished.

Free Self-Envelope Notes

I was going through some graphics I made in the past looking for something to give away on this Pink Saturday. I came across a group of stationary that I’d made and hope you can use them. The set contains three notes that are self-envelopes. Just the thing for a quick thank you note or maybe an invitation to tea. I’d suggest printing them out on cardstock to make it mailable. Just write your note inside, fold it up, put a seal or tape on the back and put the address in the provided area. Hope you enjoy them.

CLICK HERE for the PDF file that contains all three full-size notecards.

It’s never really too early to start thinking about making things for Christmas. Some projects take quite a bit of lead time to get done. I’m thinking about making my son’s girlfriend a set of placemats since I’m getting better at the quilting thing.

I was going through my collection of graphics the other day and thought some of you might be able to make use of these Vintage Santas. They come from Vintage Post Cards. Click on the image below to be taken to the full-sized image in a PDF file and save it to your hard drive.

Things you can do with these:

• Print them out on fabric and make sachets or bowl fillers
• Use them to make tree ornaments that you can embellish with glitter, buttons, trim, etc.
• Make them into tags for presents.
• Create your own Christmas cards.

Over the next few months I’ll post more sheets like these and also post ideas for how to use them.

This week I’m offering everyone a contact sheet that features various sizes of a pink rose. I’ve been collecting die-cuts for quite some time now. I just love their vintage feel. You could print these out and use them in all kinds of art projects. Or you could print them out on fabric and incorporate them into a sewing project. You could even print them out on transfer paper and apply them to just about any craft you could think of. Hope you enjoy them and Happy Pink Saturday!

It’s Pink Saturday again! Thanks for Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for hosting this amazing sharing experience.

I love doing graphics and thought this week I’d make a gift for all those who come to visit my blog. It’s a mat that you can use for scrapbooking, making a card, or even printing out and using as a mat for a frame. If you do use the image and make something, I’d love to see pictures of what you come up with.

CLICK HERE for the PDF file. You will need Adobe Reader to view this file. It’s free and can be found HERE.

Instructions, click on the link or image above. A new window will open with the PDF file. Select “File” and then “Save” to save the PDF to your hard-drive. When you print it out set the “Page Scaling” to “None” if you have that option. This will insure that your image will print out correctly. I’d recommend using a heavier weight paper such as cardstock.

Enjoy!
