vintage seashore and bathing beauties #1

hooray!  after a little challenge vacation lunagirl moonbeams is back with the most delightful challenge of all -- vintage seashore and bathing beauties.  i've shared before that the beach is my happy place and guess what? this is a scheduled post because i am on the beach myself right now hooray!  i made this postcard featuring lunagirl images in june and mailed it far away...

i mailed it to australia!  which is also the part of map i chose for a background for this postcard.  you see i signed up for a postcard swap through unruly paper arts and i got matched with a partner in australia.  so i could not resist doing a bit of a homage to her home country in my piece.  i do hope she will like it.  the images are from lunagirl except the souvenir shell which is by twisted papers.   there are some stickers and borders as well from my stash and a bit of washi tape.

link up your own beach-themed creation at lunagirl for a chance at shopping credit at the lunagirl store!
love to all.

by the sea

my favorite things include the ocean and the beach so the reader art quest for june at unruly paper arts is right up my alley -- it is "by the sea."  thinking beach and ocean also makes me think vacation so i made a 4x6 postcard.

the base is cardstock i spritzed with a variety of spray inks.  it is covered in designer paper, borders and images all from alphastamps.  there are some additional stickers from my stash here and there on this piece.

i'm linking this up to the week 22: summer fun at scraps of color.

in a couple weeks we will be starting the vintage seashore and bathing beauties challenge at lunagirl moonbeams so stay tuned for more beachy creations coming from me featuring lunagirl images.

enjoy; love to all.

lunagirl challenges update

hey friends -- if you are a fan of the challenges at lunagirl moonbeams i wanted to share that we are on a brief summer hiatus until july.  as lunagirl owner and muse karen shared:

"Lunagirl Moonbeams challenges will take a little break for the month of June, while Lunagirl goes on vacation! 
Be sure to join us for the next challenge starting on JULY 7
on the fun theme of VINTAGE SEASHORE & BATHING BEAUTIES!"

and what a wonderful challenge theme it will be!  here is something i made and posted last summer on that same challenge theme with a vintage lunagirl image (and other goodies):

enjoy; i'll still be blogging in june of course but no more lunagirl DT pieces until july!
love to all.
