Sweet French Provincial Little Flowers ~ Gift Tags, Labels, Scrapbooking, Journal Embellishments ~

Hi everyone I’m so glad you stopped by. I found these adorable French provincial graphics. Simple flowers and shapes I can just see them decorating so many things. They are so cheerful!  One of the many treasures I found while looking on Archive.com.  I can just see them as labels or decoupaged on something.  They are free to use in any of your personal projects. I hope you’re able to make something so cute with them.  They are laid out on 8 1/2”x 11” sheets so hopefully they’ll be easy to print.

Free Scrapbooking Pages. Perfect for Dollhouse Wall Paper. Pretty Florals Patterns and Blue Birds. From the Victorian, Edwardian & Early 20th Century.

Hi everyone! Welcome to Bumble Buttons!

Today I have pretty printable paper that can be used in scrapbooking, journals and even as wallpaper in dollhouses. As I go through old books one of the first things to check is the end papers or lining. They can be pretty incredible! The marbled ones are wild and colorful. I tend to like simpler and less bold patterns. When there is one to my liking I copy and save them for future paper projects. Now it is time to share them with you! I hope you can use them in your creative projects. So glad you stopped by! 

Check out the Sept. 29, 2011 post for 16 additional patterns.

Crowns & Tiaras in Art & Book Illustrations~ Léon-François Comerre Painting~ Digital Clipart for Junk Journal Pages, Greeting Cards & Mixed Media.

 Hi everyone and welcome!

You can never have to many crowns and tiaras in your digital clipart stash. Especially when they are in color. I could not resist the photograph of the queen or princess dripping in jewels. She will be added to my favorites file! The single large crown image is so clear and sharper than I usually find at museums and libraries. Thrilled when I found the painting by Leon Comerre!  A golden crown, rich warm paint colors and the models blonde hair are perfect together. Not only is it a beautiful painting I also found a new artist to learn about. I really hope you like these pictures as much as I do. I am already laying out a journal page in my head. 

Enjoy and feel free to use for your personal art projects.

Much love as always, Louise

Time for Bunnies and Easter Eggs! Victorian Easter Postcard Set

 Hello and a big welcome to everyone!

April Birthstone and Flower ~ Diamonds and Daisies ~ Antique Button Card~ Postcards

Hello and welcome! 

Already the start of a new month after March went by so quickly. I am pleased to be posting the month's birthstone and flower pictures on time! Finding pictures of daisys is fairly easy because there are lots of antique postcards that feature daisies. In my collection of printer's chapter headings and tail pieces there are plenty that feature daisies.  Still looking around for pictures of diamonds. A separate post is coming that features sweet peas. The United Kingdom birth or month's flower is the daisy while in the United States it is sweet peas. Hope you can use these pretty images in your journals and greeting card creations.

Much love to all of you, Louise

The Best Art Nouveau Graphics ~ Ladies in Jewels and Crowns ~

       Hi everyone! Today I have the most wonderful pictures! The theme just fell together while organising my digital files. All the illustrations are Art Nouveau in style. Ladies with swirling hair, crowns, jewels and flowers are typical for the period. Time to print and do some coloring! Enjoy and hopefully these pretty ladies will be in your next project or creation. Sending love to each and everyone of you!     

Everything is Just Peachy!~ Being Grumpy~ Pandora's Box ~ Soft Warm Fall Colors~ Artist Edward Robert Hughes

Welcome to all of you! 

How is the day going? Well I would say "just peachy" in the most ironic sarcastic way possible. 

 Not like "I had an absolutely wonderful peachy day!"  

To be honest I have actually had a fine time today.  

Little Miss Grumpy. 

To avoid being grumpy spend time being creative! 

Work on your junk journals, scrapbooks and mixed media art. 

Maybe today one of the peachy, apricot themed pictures or graphics will inspire you. 

Please be safe and most important be kind. Much love to each and everyone of you!

Free Printies and Clip Art of Antique Dollhouse Wall Paper, Victorian and Edwardian Eras

While going thru old books I found the best inside linings.There are 16 to pick from. Perfect for scrap booking pages, wrapping small gifts, As wall paper for old doll houses. How great is that! It is always hard to find historic old wall paper for refurbishing a doll house. How about a paper quilt  with no sewing. Background for cards and tags. Start cutting and pasting ladies. You have something new to play with!

Right click for a larger image. If I did it right they should end up letter size 81/2 x 11 when you copy and print one.

With some searching I am sure I will find more for you creative ones.

Have fun making something beautiful!

Thank you soooo much for your kind comments.

 Love to each and every one of you, Louise.
