April 16, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m loving these hand printed moleskine notebooks from Goshdarnknit. The cute (with a touch of edgy) illustrations are created by shop owner, Rania Hassan. Featured (from top to bottom): Knit Buddies, Ghost Writer, and Runaway. Gosdarnknit also has wonderful paintings, lunchbags, and stickers (below), too.

So much inspiration to be found in American Crafts’ A La Carte collection, and I love the paper names, inspired by food. Above are (clockwise, from top left): Quiche, Lentil, Brie, Panini, Poppy Seed, Persimmon, Couscous, and Bisque. You can purchase the papers at various online scrapbooking stores, including here.

Psst…while you’re at American Crafts, check out the fun patterns and pretty color schemes from their Kids, Spring & Summer, Celebration II, and Metropolitan collections. Eye candy galore.

I’ve been working on a post about crafting with wood veneer and had hoped to have the post up by the end of this week. However, I’m discovering so much information that I’d like to do more research before I post about it. So, be on the lookout for it sometime next week!

Until then, enjoy these gorgeous paper sculptures from Molly Jey. So peaceful and evocative of spring:

Camelia and Ladybug

Butterfly of Spring

White Chrysanthemum
