Winner of "Shabby Green" Challenge

It's time for to announce the winner of the random drawing for the Shabby Green challenge.  The lucky winner of the drawing this time is entry #16 by Annie of Memories to Keep blog!  Congrats to Annie -- email me at info@lunagirl.com to claim your prize!

All the gorgeous green in the entries for this challenge certainly brightened up the blog and was so perfect for the first few days of spring.  I really enjoyed all the fresh beautiful green!

My theme for the next challenge is SASSY SHOWGIRLS, and the DT has some fun samples to share.  Everyone please come back tomorrow to get in on the fun.

Happy Spring in Shabby Green!

 Today is the Spring Equinox, the official first day of Spring! (at least here in the Northern Hemisphere)... and to celebrate the arrival of springtime and the longer, warmer days full of flowers (I hope) is one more Shabby Green piece from the Design Team.

Michele Storms created this lovely tag.  So pretty!  I love daisies and sunflowers -- for me it's impossible to see either and not smile.  Enjoy, and don't forget to link up your own "shabby green" inspired creation for the blog challenge.  You have until Sunday to join in for your chance to win the prize of $10 shopping credit in the random drawing.

The DT samples and many beautiful green entries we already have are inspiring... and you can also find Lunagirl images to use in my digital collage sheet shop and even some freebies here!

Second Week of SHABBY GREEN

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope you're wearing green so no one will pinch you today (does that only apply to us Irish, or to everyone?)  I have a great deal of Irish ancestry on both sides, but one day a year I'm all Irish, of course.

The Shabby Green challenge here at Lunagirl Moonbeams is shaping up beautifully. Take a look at all the gorgeous entries!  If you haven't entered yet, or if you would like to enter again, you still have all week to do so.

Here to inspire you are more beautiful creations by the Lunagirl Moonbeams Design Team.  Link up your Shabby Green creation for a chance to win $10 shopping credit at Lunagirl.com!

And pardon me for being so chipper today, but might I just add how great my DT is? Such beautiful work!

VICKI ROMAINE:
"I used a number of my scraps today with this card.  The bumpy green paper on the side of the card is a piece of homemade paper I had made about two years ago and it was in my scrap drawer.  I used the lovely LG "freebie" this time.  The little chick and duckling were not on the image I added them so the little girl could be looking at them.  Completing the card is the sentiment and a leftover Christmas bow.  This card is perfect for both St. Patty's day as well as Easter./ Spring."

PETRA BERENDSEN:
"I am a little bit into jewellery making at the moment and when I saw the images from your Shabby Green collage sheet, I could not resist to make some little scrabble tile necklaces.I hope you like them."

MICHELE STORMS:
Shabby Green Fairy :-)

MANDY CHILVERS:

New Blog Challenge: SHABBY GREEN

MARCH 10-23

In honor of springtime's green and of course Saint Patrick's Day, for the current blog challenge I've chosen the theme SHABBY GREEN.

Your project doesn't have to be for St. Pat's, just Green! (and a bit Shabby or Vintage too!)

This challenge (#23) will end at Noon (Central Time) on March 23, and here are the guidelines:
Any craft or medium is OK,
No more than 3 entries from one person in each challenge,
Vintage style is encouraged but not required, and
Please link to my blog and Lunagirl.com on your site if you have one.

The winner will be selected randomly to win a $10 coupon for Lunagirl.com! Of course I love if you use at least one Lunagirl product, and I hope you'll go take a look at my collection... but that's not a requirement!  However, if you use a Lunagirl image in your creation, you will be entered TWICE in the drawing! I want to welcome everyone and every style but also give a little something extra to my wonderful customers!

Enjoy the lovely samples from the Moonbeams Design Team below, and please come link up your own creations.

PETRA BERENDSEN:
"These images are wonderful and really have such a lovely Spring mood. I made a little card using images from the Shabby Green collage sheet embellishing is with some Stickles around the edges, some ric-rac ribbon aand a tiny resin flower."

VICKI ROMAINE:
"I placed the LG image on a solid green mat so it will pop from the green background.  Beige lace trims the side while flowers in the image are repeated with some in the corner of the card.  The sentiment was also printed in green from my computer."

As always I send a big THANK YOU to everyone who played and a giant CONGRATULATIONS for all your beautiful work.  Remember to come back for the next challenge, and remember that everyone has a chance to win.

The next theme, starting tomorrow, will be Shabby Green.  Just in time for Spring and Saint Patrick's Day!  Moonbeams DT member Michele has created a shabby green goddess altered altoid tin that helps us make a perfect transition.  Have a happy day, and do come play again.  :-)

TAGS challenge at the Cheerful Stamppad!

I'm very pleased to be sponsoring a challenge at Vicki Romaine's CHEERFULSTAMPPAD blog!

The theme is TAGS, and here is a pretty, feminine tag that Vicki has created.  She used images from a couple of Lunagirl collage sheets -- Victorian Elegance Tags and Women Vintage Labels -- complemented and enhanced with a beautifully distressed background and other embellishments.  I love the soft shabby French colors -- and look at the lady's crescent moon necklace!  It goes well with the curves of the frame around her.

Please do visit the CheerfulStamppad to see her full post about this tag and  ENTER THE TAGS CHALLENGE!

Cool Green Watermelon Card by Vicki

Wow, so bright and cool and summery!  I just love the bright green and watermelon red, and the contrast with the black.  This card makes me feel cooler just looking at it!  Cute sentiment!

Thanks to Vicki Romaine of The Cheerful Stamppad for this pretty card:

"My seed pack card uses a watermelon Lunagirl image.  The green mat, sentiment, and watermelon embellishment are leftovers from a SEI pack."

And isn't watermelon appropriate for this picnic / cookout weekend?  Hope everybody here in the States has a great Labor Day weekend. 

See our Seed Pack Vintage Garden challenge...

Wishes of Joy Fairy by Michele

Michele has captured another one!  Here is another lovely little garden fairy that we hope will inspire you to create your own for the blog challenge.

Remember you still have a week to enter ~ the challenge ends Sunday night and the random winner will win a Lunagirl digital collage sheet of their choice.  If I get 20 entries this time, I'll randomly choose two winners ~

I have always been fond of these luna moth wings I adapted from an antique print, and don't you love her little pink outfit and white shoes?  She is certainly loaded down with flowers for someone.  Beautiful work, Michele!
