Weihnacten: New Collage Sheets German Christmas

Just before Thanksgiving, I received a request for a digital collage sheet of Christmas cards from different countries. Looking through all my vintage holiday collections, I found I had many more vintage European Christmas cards than I remembered.

I ended up creating 15 new collage sheets, with greetings in French, German, Dutch, Czech, Italian, Danish and Swedish, featuring vintage Saint Nicholas, angels, children, and more. Lots of Santa Claus cards!

I'm going to share all of these over the next few days... Here to start are four collage sheets created with lovely vintage German Christmas cards: Weihnachten is the celebration of Christmas Eve in German-speaking countries. You'll find all at Lunagirl.com!

Artist Trading Coins

You've heard of Artist Trading Cards, and inchies and twinchies and moos and more. Well, now have you heard of Artist Trading COINS? These are fun, shareable, little altered art / mixed media creations on 2.5-inch circles.

The round/circular shape is a subtle shift in how you think about design. And something new is always a nice inspiration.

I've finally got around to creating a few new digital collage sheets with 2.5" circles. These are perfect for Artist Trading Coins, as well as pocket mirrors, coasters, etc. And of course you can also use them in any kind of project ~ fun for altered books and boxes, scrapbooking, etc. 

See 'em all at Lunagirl.com! More to come (and I'm glad to take requests!)
