Celebrate in February

February means Valentine's Day AND African-American history month... So isn't this perfect?

Michele Storms is a very inspired and very busy lady... She has kindly shared these new creations using images from the newly expanded collection of African-American images from Lunagirl.

I love the combination of silver snowflake and silver heart doily she used... and of course the lovely vintage Paris image.

The one below is a digital piece called "Old Fashioned Girl." It reminds me of old letters and the sweet sadness of time passing.

Share your work celebrating February!

All you need is Love

Thanks to Michele for these sweet tags featuring images from the "new expanded" African-American vintage photos collection! The theme is Love... and don't we all need that message these days. Michele does beautiful work.

Lunagirl African American Images Collection EXPANDED

NOW OVER 400 IMAGES!

I'm proud to offer the collection of African American images I've created, because such images can be difficult to find. I haven't seen another collection like it, and it has been popular.

So, I'm excited to announce that I have been able to EXPAND the collection ... from 150 images to over 400. The new images are all vintage photos, mostly portraits. Some are cabinet cards, some are in frames, others are more like snapshots. Some are street scenes, a few are family portraits or baby pictures. New sample pics added to the listing (second half of samples).

Significantly enlarged folder of men and boys (98 new images), 138 new pictures of women and girls, and 18 photos of couples and families!

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE MY AFRICAN-AMERICAN IMAGES SET: Note that while I have added over 200 additional images, I have not increased the price. You can still download it for $9.95 (all my collections are download only now).

But, if you want ONLY the new images, I'm offering this "expansion pack" for $6:

This seems like a good time to say Thank You to all my Lunagirl customers! It's been almost 14 years now? I'm proud to have helped popular the world with digital vintage images for us all to enjoy!

Apologies for the lack of blog posts lately... I'm still here, and I'll try to post more often :-)

Possibilities...

Apologies for being AWOL these past few weeks... other activities and passions took over my time and attention! I promise I will be back more often in 2017.

For now, I wanted to hop over and share this card created by Michele Storms for her son's birthday, using an image from Lunagirl African-American Images CD.

Some Freebies for You

Here are some postcard images I have shared in the past, and I thought this would be a good time to share them again for my
POSTCARDS & LETTERS CHALLENGE. 

Click on each for the full size ~ they are nice large scans for good clarity, and of course you can resize them smaller as needed.
Last minute inspiration for the challenge! :-)


Here's another image I wanted to share today in recognition of MLK Day celebrations. Amidst the often sad news, let's be thankful for courageous people who use non--violent civil disobedience to bring real change in the world.
I've always like this lady's smile (and her dress!) This was taken in Nebraska in 1909, and she was one of the Jubilee Singers at a local business college. I have another photo of her on this day, with the same lovely smile. I guess she is someone's great-grandmother; she is certainly an American ancestor. I'm pleased to offer a small collection of Edwardian era African-American portraits and photographs on CD ~ they're kind of hard to find.

"My second project is a canvas using again an adorable image from your Mother's Love digital collage sheet. The canvas is covered with watercolour paper which I distressed and stamped on, with vintage linen, musical note paper, lace and embellished with embroidery and dangly bits and pieces. Hope you like it."

Happy MLK Day!

It's a day to celebrate justice and non-violence, to honor sacrifice and courage, to remember the past and dream of the future.
