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!

Autumn Inspiration by Michele

I'm pleased to have such a great response to the "Autumn"-themed challenge.  Twenty entries so far, and still a week to go!

You can link up your entry all the way until midday Sunday (US Central Time), so there is still plenty of time to join in.  It's fun, and you'll have a chance to win two free Lunagirl digital collage sheets of your choosing.  I've decided to choose TWO winners this week, so your chances just doubled!

To inspire you, here is another lovely creation from the Lunagirl Moonbeams Design Team.  A beautiful goddess/girl with flowers in her hair and leaves swirling around her, pretty papers, golden flowers, an orange poppy, a sweet sentiment, and more, come together in this beautiful perfectly autumnal tag by Michele Storms.

The autumn goddess image is from my Lunagirl Mucha 1 collage sheet, and the stamps are from Rogue Redhead Designs.

A Charming Autumn Tag by Petra

 Design Team member Petra Berendsen submitted this absolutely beautiful sample for your inspiration today.  She created a lovely tag using a Lunagirl image of a lady walking in the autumn woods (I like the contrast of her dark dress against the golden leaves, and the book under her arm!).  I just love the colors here in the pretty backgrounds and embellishments.  They complement the colors in the central image so well.  And she tried something a little different that turned out amazing:  she created the little Fall leaves charm!

Petra writes:  "I created a tag and did a little bit of experimenting. For quite a long while I have had some printable shrink plastic which I had not used before but it was just the right stuff to create a leave charm with one of your images. And I have to say I am quite pleased the way it turned out. The colours came out very nicely and the image is still pristine - even after the shrinking... Hope you like it."


It's gorgeous!  Perfect inspiration on this bright Fall day.

Iconic Autumn by Vicki

This simple and elegant design by DT member Vicki Romaine is the very epitome of Autumn beauty, don't you think?  Simply beautiful.

Vicki writes: "This Lunagirl grouping of leaves is the main feature on this card when placed on a Cheery Lynn Designs die.  The sentiment is a SEI embellishment."

Thank you, Vicki ~ Visit Vicki's blog cheerfulstamppad.blogspot.com and see her challenges too!

Autumn Drama by Michele

When I opened this latest sample sent to me by DT Member Michele Storms, the actual words out of my mouth were, "Oh Wow!"

This is so pretty and quite dramatic.  I recognize the Egyptian Art Nouveau image from one of my Mucha collage sheets.  I love her pose, and the assymmetrical placement of the arch on the background, and the swirl of big bright leaves.

Thanks, Michele!  Visit Michele at Artfromthewell.blogspot.com.

OOPS! I goofed.

I just clicked on my Shine On Harvest Moon sheet music that I shared a few days ago, and I discovered that I had shared the wrong page! 

The page I linked IS from that song, but I meant to share the page that had the lyrics for the main "Shine On" chorus.  Oh well, sorry about that... I've linked the page with the main Harvest Moon chorus lyrics to that post below.
