Japan Fall and Digitally Made Challenge #5 Fall

I was blessed to have my son take me to Japan for the second time last November a few weeks after my mom had passed of a lengthy fight with lung cancer.  It was heaven sent to be able to go and spend time in the lovely Japan and it was fall!!  The leaves changed full force while we were there and going to a lake close to Mt. Fuji was simply amazing; I had never ever seen so many fabulous colors!  Most of the shrines  and temples have gardens surrounding them and this one is in Narita I think? but the garden and koi fish were absolutely amazing!  

The lovely digital image is by LeighSBDesigns and is named Neko!  I had colored the image and merged her and Neko the cat into this lovely fall scene in Japan.  Neko is eyeing those gorgeous koi fish so I am hoping he has been fed very recently!

I am off again in two weeks to catch the very beginning of fall in Japan with my son so more fun to play with when I come home loaded with pictures!

Digitally Made Challenge #5 FALL!

When most thing of fall they think of the gorgeous changing leaves unless you live in the South, U.S. We go from green to brown in a matter of days with just a few pops of red from our popcorn trees...nope they do not grow popcorn :(! and some mild yellows.  So my mind goes to pumpkins!  We have pumpkin patches and of course I love Halloween so there is the direction I take!  The theme at Digitally Made this month is Fall so I had my friend the pumpkin fairy do me a solid and with the help of her pet the wise old owl she zapped me some gorgeous pumpkins all from the Tumblefish Studios at Mischief Circus and the Dreams Funky Fairies Kit and the Halloween Kit. These kits were purchased as a going out of business sale but I think there might me some more fab Tumblefish Studio kits available; I just can't link up to these two.

I also used a Holiday Twinkle kit for the background after all fairies have magic and it sparkles!  One of the reasons I love them!  This also came from Mischief Circus but I am not sure of the creator's name....sorry!!!

Hope you are beginning to enjoy some fall coolness and beauty!
