Winner of August Challenge

Last day of August, time to announce the winner of my August 'Anything Goes' challenge. This turned out to have the largest number of entries of any challenge ~ guess I should have done Anything Goes earlier! :-)  I will keep that in mind when I start challenges again in the future...

Yes, this will be the last Lunagirl Moonbeams challenge for a few months. I'm taking a break from challenges, but I'll still be here blogging. Lunagirl.com will still be open for you, as it has been for nearly 12 years bringing you the best in vintage imagery. And I hope I'll have more time for creating new collage sheets and other goodies for you to discover!

On to the results of this month's random drawing... The lucky challenge winner for August Anything Goes is entry #46 created by Genie of http://buttonsforbaga.blogspot.com/

Congrats to Genie! And thank you to everyone. I hope you'll keep visiting! Have a beautiful, exciting, peaceful, creative Autumn.

July Challenge Winner: Alice K of Yellow House Studio

July is ending (can you believe it?), which means my challenge is ending as well. The lucky winner of the random drawing for this challenge is the last entry, the one that got in just under the wire... #17 by Alice K of Yellow House Studio.

Congrats to Alice, congrats to everyone who entered for their lovely fun work, and finally thanks to the Design Team for their great inspiration and support as ever!

For August, I'm doing an ANYTHING GOES theme, so it's time to let your creativity run free in any direction you want!

June Challenge Winner

Congratulations to Hazel, whose entry shown here won the drawing for my June challenge!

I hope everyone will join in my "Planes Trains & Automobiles" theme challenge which starts tomorrow and runs all through July.

May Challenge Winner: Granne

Here is the lucky winner of my May challenge... I did the random drawing and the winner was lucky #13, which is this pretty and inspiring card created by Sari/Granne. Congratulations! Email me when you get a chance, to claim your prize of a $10 e-gift certificate to spend at Lunagirl.com.

Sorry I was late announcing the winner this time. I've been hit with a migraine today. :-(

Congrats to everyone who joined us in this fun challenge celebrating Mothers & Sisters... Be sure to join us for my June challenge, which starts tomorrow. We will be honoring Fathers & Brothers. Grandads and Uncles welcome too!

Challenge Winner for April: Amanda of purplemyrtlemakes

Time to consult the magic random number generator to tell me the lucky winner of this month's challenge...
The random number genie gives me the number 8, which is this fabulous entry by Amanda over at purplemyrtlemakes blog!

This is especially cool for me because my maternal grandmother was born in Stephenville, Texas, the place listed on her rodeo image! I love those vintage buttons, too.

Congratulations to EVERYONE who entered this challenge. I appreciate it. It's always so much fun to see everyone's creations.

Tomorrow is the first day of May (believe it or not), which means a new challenge theme. Join us in May with your creations inspired by the theme MOTHERS AND SISTERS. Merry Beltane and Happy May!

Challenge Winner for March: Rene CTgirl

Time to find out which of the beautiful Spring Flowers & Birds entries won the challenge this month. And the lucky winner of the random drawing JUST got her entries in today shortly before the deadline! The winning entry is the next to last one, #26 by Rene CTgirl. Proof of the saying, "Better late than never"... Rene wins $15 store credit to buy digital images and/or digital collage sheets at Lunagirl.com!

Challenge Winner: Karla B

Time to announce the challenge winner for February! My random number generator has told me the lucky winner this month is Karla B of Poetic Postcards!

Everyone deserves congratulations and thanks for sharing such beautiful work. This was a fun challenge that inspired some lovely creativity.

I do want everyone to know, by the way, that the drawing is random, so everyone has a chance to win ~ and if you use a Lunagirl image I count your entry twice, for double chances to win. Just a reminder :-)

I'm off now to create a post for my March challenge. Join me bright and early tomorrow for my March theme: Spring Flowers & Birds.

January Challenge Winner: SherryD

January is done, or about to be, and also done is the random drawing for my January "Babies and Children" challenge. The lucky winner of $15 store credit to spend at Lunagirl.com is SherryD of D'Ambrosia Arts! And I love that the winner this time used one of my freebies!

Get ready for my February challenge, which starts bright and early tomorrow. The theme for February is ... what else... LOVE. But we're not doing JUST Valentines or even just romance... our next theme is Love in all its wonderful guises. See you there!

Winner of December Challenge: Judy V

New Year's Eve... Chex party mix is in the oven, ginger ale and hard cider are chillin' in the fridge. Made a "second wave" of cookies yesterday, and the tree is still lit, because we celebrate all 12 Days of Christmas, until January 6 (Epiphany). Here's wishing everyone a happy, prosperous and peaceful 2016. Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward All. We need more true "good will," less fear and vitriol...

And I haven't forgotten, since it is the last day of the month it's time to do the random drawing for a winner of the challenge. I enjoyed all the beautiful and charming Angels in the December challenge. Congrats to everyone who entered for truly lovely work!

The winner of the random drawing is Lucky Number 13 ~ which is by Judy V. Her blog is "Created Just 4 U."

Congratulations to Judy, who has won $15 store credit to find some new digital images for 2016!

My new theme for January is Babies and Children... Join me in the new year for fun creative challenges and inspiration.

Blessings ~ Karen

November Challenge Winner: Marie of Creative by Design

November is over? Oh my, how did that happen? That means my November challenge is completed. Thank you to everyone who entered and shared their gorgeous work this month!

So, challenge ended, random drawing done, and the lucky winner of $15 Lunagirl store credit this month is Marie, of Creative By Design, entry #18. Congrats to Marie!

I hope everyone will come back and enter my December challenge which begins tomorrow and continues until the End of the Year (isn't that a shocking thought?). The Design Team has already started sending me some amazingly beautiful inspiration, and I hope you will get inspired as well, by the December theme of ANGELS.

Winner of Gothic 'Goth-tober' Challenge: Wendy Lynn

First of all, apologies for being so late with the winner and new challenge this month! Because yesterday was Halloween, I was busy all day making cookies and candy for my son's first Halloween party (and running out for more ice, and helping to hang up bats and skeletons and cobwebs...) Anyway, the whole day got away from me, and then I was too tired to do anything except watch another spooky old movie!

So before I start the next challenge, I must announce the winner of the random drawing for Goth-tober. And.... she has done it again: Wendy Lynn of Paper Whims! Wendy has three entries in this challenge, all using Lunagirl images, and the one featured here won the random number drawing. Wendy's creations are always amazing, and I always love seeing how she uses Lunagirl images.

Congratulations to Wendy and to everyone who played. I'll start the next challenge shortly. The theme will be Thanksgiving/Harvest, and I know we should have many wonderful entries!

Winner of "Animals" Challenge: Alice K

Well I'm on the ball today ~ my August Animals challenge ended a few minutes ago and I've already done the random drawing for the winner. The magic random number generator gave me #56, so the winner is Alice K of Yellow House Studio, for her sweet little bird card with gold sheet!

Congratulations to Alice and to everyone who entered. I'm so happy to see so many entries this time! I hope the next challenge theme will be just as popular. It's another month-long challenge for September, and this time the theme is Fairies & Mermaids. So get ready, and come back tomorrow!

Challenge Winner: Amanda of purplemyrtle makes!

The Retro Summertime challenge has come to an end, and the random drawing has determined a winner of $15 shopping credit at Lunagirl.com.... The lucky winner this time is entry #7 from Amanda of "purplemyrtle makes" blog!

Congratulations to everyone and especially to Amanda! This was a fun challenge for these long, hot days of deep summer.

The next challenge starts tomorrow, August 1. And that leads me to an important announcement:
Starting tomorrow, I am changing to MONTHLY challenges. Each new theme will start on the 1st of the month and continue all the way until the last day of the month... This will give more time to explore the theme and I hope to get more players this way with the extra time!

Join us tomorrow bright and early for the August theme: ANIMALS !

Wendy is the winner of the Marie challenge!

I had to find a new random number generator site... Found it, did the random drawing, and here I am to announce the winner for the Marie Antoinette challenge...
