There's Magic In The Air: 10/25/09

(((Warning extra long post today))) :O)

The special person to receive the random drawing prize for participating in last weeks challenge is: Stamping by Sam

Please send me your address at magicintheair@att.net so I can get this out to you. CONGRATS and ENJOY!

First thing I want to address today is to say good bye to two of our Designers. Curt O'Brien and Stephanie Hargis. As sad as it makes me to announce that they both will be moving on, it has been such an honor to have their talents shared here coupled with my images. Make sure you continue to check out thier blogs for their upcoming work that is still being posted weekly. Thanks you two, for all of your lovely inspiration you have shared here. I know that I greatly appreciate it and have been inspired by it as well. I hope that all the lurkers and participants have too. Also, Amanda was unable to make a card for us this week as well. So, with this being her last week, we will say good bye to her as well, but also a big thanks to Amanda for being a wonderful Guest Designer. Aslo, big thanks to Dawn our other Guest Designer for this month who also brought us some wonderful cards with her copics!! I have been soo blessed with such wonderful talents!!

Also, I am delighted and thrilled to bring you some more great talent!! Next week TMITA will have 3 new Designer Team members!! I can't wait to reveal them and their talents to you!! BIG THANKS TO ALL!

This week I bring to you again another fall image. I must admit some of my favorite things to draw and paint are nature related. So this week I bring you a mix of nature with this little bird settling on this pumpkin stem with a lovely sunflower. This image is called "Autumn Splendor". This week I challenge all the lurkers that snag an image to leave me and the designers a message of their favorite family dish! For the ones that always leave me a message tell me what your favorite pie is. One of my favorite pies is banana cream pie and one of my favorite dishes is a homemade butterscotch pudding that my grandma use to make.

("Autumn Splendor" is no longer available for free... I am in a process of getting a website up and going to make available to you not only these images, but many more originals by me in digital form and in the near future photopolymer as well... it's all in "the works"! In just hours a new free image will be released)

Stephanie brings us this weeks challenge. You will need to use the image I have provided "Autumn Spendor" and then she wants you to be inspired by this photograph in anyway that inspires you.
