September Challenge Theme: FAIRIES & MERMAIDS

The theme for my September challenge is a favorite on mine (and yours I hope): Fairies and Mermaids. We've done a Fairyland theme before, but this time let's include Mermaids as well. 

Don't miss the Design Team inspiration below, and have a look at some Lunagirl digital collage sheets to get you started! Fairies.... and Mermaids! The DT is working with some images of Faerie Fantasy Showgirls (for something a little different), Faerie Queens, and of course vintage Mermaids.

I can't wait to see what you create ~ link up your entries below. 

CHALLENGE GUIDELINES:

Challenge ends at 2:00 pm CST on September 30.

Any craft or medium is welcome!

Vintage style is encouraged but not required.

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

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!

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, and enjoy vintage style.

Lunagirl Blog Challenge #4: Garden Fairies

Congrats again to the winner of the Bathing Beauty challenge: Entry #16 Anne!  
It's time to start submitting your entries for the next Lunagirl Moonbeams Blog Challenge: Garden Fairies!

I hope you'll have fun with this theme ... I have all kinds of images that would work ... butterfly wings and dragonfly wings, little girls and boys, faerie folk, all kinds of flowers and even floral backgrounds!  The Lunagirl Moonbeams Design Team has created some wonderful garden fairies as you will see...

This challenge (#4) will end at 11:55 pm on June 30 ~  The winner will be selected randomly (random number generator) and will receive a free Lunagirl digital collage sheet of his or her choice.
UPDATE: I've decided if I get 20 entries for this challenge, I'll draw TWO winners!

Be creative but stick to the theme (obviously) :)
Any craft or medium is OK,
No more than 3 entries from one person in each challenge, and
Please link back to my blog and/or Lunagirl.com on your site if you have one.
 
It's preferable that your entry be a new piece created for the challenge, but I'm not going to worry about that...  Of course I love if you use at least one Lunagirl product, but that's not a requirement!
Most important is have fun, get creative, enjoy vintage.

The Lunagirl Moonbeams Design Team -- Vicki, Michele, and Petra -- have captured some charming little garden fairies for their creations below.  I'm sure all will be freed promptly, but first they have agreed to pose here for your inspiration!  Create your own little garden fairy project and enter the Blog Challenge! 

Petra Berendsen

Petra Berendsen created this very lovely tag:
"For this project I first created the tag with patterned paper, the edges are slightly distressed. The tag is mounted on stencilled background paper. The lovely garden fairy comes from the Fly Away Home collage sheet. I used the pretty fairy in the red dress and one of the butterfly wings totally amazing in their colour. The project was completed with some ribbon, a stamped sentiment and some fabric flowers."


Aren't the soft colors and stencilled patterns perfect on this tag?  I love the musical page in the background.

 Michele Storms created these two gorgeous cards!

The backgrounds are so pretty, and I like the 3-dimensional elements in the second card.

The wings are from Lunagirl Fly Away Home collage sheet and Rainbow Wings I collage sheet, while the figures/photos are from Lunagirl Little Girls collage sheet.

Vicki Romaine

What a little sweetie pie on this card by Vicki Romaine!  This charmer is from Girls 1929, with wings from Fly Away Home.  She looks right at home in Vicki's bright garden background.  Doesn't she make you believe in fairies?

Please be sure to visit the design team members' blogs as well!

And of course follow Lunagirl Moonbeams to see more garden fairies and to share your own in the challenge!

The Faerie Queen

A simply gorgeous new Lunagirl collage sheet!

The Victorians were fascinated with fairies, and often portrayed the fairy world as dark and mysterious, not just cute and light as we think of it now.

You'll love these beautiful sensual faerie queens of the night! This digital collage sheet is available for purchase and instant download at Lunagirl.com.

More new collage sheets in the works.....
