Honeybee Challenge Theme: Second Week

MICHELE STORMS

Here's the buzz: My Honeybee challenge continues until Thursday, so link up your creation! The Moonbeams Design Team members have been busy bees creating some lovely inspiration for you!

My bee magic must be working because it's still warm here, and actually feels like Spring today. The birds are happy. I haven't seen any bees, although there was a fly in the house yesterday... guess that isn't a very pleasant "sign of Spring"! Yes, I know I'm in for a very rude awakening when Old Man Winter returns, as he is bound to do since it's still only January. But a girl can dream, can't she?


Check out the entries so far and get busy creating, honey!

Happy Moon-day! Join the Honeybee Challenge

This pretty bee from Corinne Marie reminds you to enter my "Honeybee" challenge, for fun, sharing, maybe a prize! :-)

The sun is out here in Tennessee today, and the birds are singing and acting excited (on my walk to the mailbox, a mockingbird flew out of a holly bush and fussed at me, as if maybe she was starting a nest). Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself wishing for an early Spring ~ we'll see what the groundhog says in a few days. But if the birds are out, maybe the honeybees aren't far behind...

Creative Challenge: HONEYBEE

Time for a new challenge theme! This time let's do BEES. Honeybees and bumblebees are popular motifs in vintage ephemera, especially French ephemera, labels, linens, and advertising. They often show up in the "shabby elegant" and cottage chic style. And they are so sweet for cards and tags.

Why am I doing a "Bee" theme in the winter? Maybe it's because I'm already dreaming of spring, and I know when the honeybees show up warm weather can't be far behind.

You probably know bees are our friends, and we would be hard-pressed to survive without them. They busily pollinate not only our flowers, but all flowering plants which includes most of the fruits and vegetables we eat! Bee trivia: Did you know honey was once considered a gift of the gods (goddess, actually) and was also used as an offering TO the gods in ancient times? Did you know Deborah means honeybee, and Melissa means honey?

Anyway... enough of my nerdy trivia... let's have some fun with a Honeybee theme (bumblebees welcome too!)  Don't miss the samples by the Lunagirl Moonbeams Design Team to inspire you, and to get you started I have two new digital collage sheets featuring bees!

Here are the guidelines:

Any craft or medium is OK.

Vintage style is encouraged.

Use a Lunagirl image or element and your entry will count twice in the drawing!

Remember to link to this blog and to Lunagirl.com on your site if you have one.

Prize:  Winner will be selected randomly to receive a $15 credit at Lunagirl.com!

Challenge ends at noon CST on Thursday, February 5.

I love it when you use Lunagirl images, and I hope you'll go take a look at my collections... but that's not a requirement!  But do remember that if you use a Lunagirl image, you will be entered TWICE in the drawing! I welcome everyone and every style but also want to give a little something extra to my wonderful customers! Most important is have fun, get creative, enjoy vintage.
