Goth-tober Challenge... You're Invited!

Trick-or-treat paper dolls created by Patti Robinson... these Gothic girls received a makeover and some slightly creepy friends for my Goth-tober challenge! There are still a few days left, plenty of time to link up your gothic creations. They can be spooky or sweet, dark or just slightly off-kilter ~ as we get closer to Halloween, anything goes for Gothic!

From maya*made: woven hearts tutorial!

maya*made: woven hearts: modernizing a classic: Woven heart baskets are a classic Valentine craft.

I couldn't resist re-blogging this great tutorial from maya*made!  Theses woven heart baskets are adorable ~ fill them with candy, flowers, love messages. And you can adapt the template to make "single layer" hearts, too, for cards and such.

Tutorial: Emily Summers Design and Nonsense: Pretty Handmade Envelopes

I collect craft tutorials on pinterest, and I thought it would be nice to share some of them on my blog, with credit of course!  Here from Emily Summers "Design and Nonsense" blog is a very lovely and very simple tutorial for creating pretty handmade envelopes from scrapbook paper or any kind of scrap paper -- you could use maps, book pages, even printed Lunagirl images!   She uses a regular envelope as a template by unfolding it flat (see pics in tutorial).

This would be great for holiday invitations or greeting cards or even little envelopes for gift tags, don't you think?

Lunagirl and MajaDesign Papers

I'm excited that Marie Janson of MajaDesign is going to be using some Lunagirl images in her beautiful designs for her vintage Christmas papers collection. 

MajaDesign sells scrapbooking/crafts papers inspired by romantic vintage style, in Sweden.  They are lovely, and I'm pleased and flattered that Marie has chosen to work with some of my images!
