Newest notebook I created. I was really eager about finishing this project. It's the first one (I plan to make more with different types of butterflies and various sizes). It's A7 sized, 90 pages. I'm really proud of this one : )
I am really satisfied with effect, especially with gentle ombre effect on wings, I was worried colors will get lost on the way completely.
Thank you for reading! <3

Wonderland matchbox set
Lately I wanted to find template for matchboxes since I had none at home. Accidentally I ran into this tutorial: http://blog.swap-bot.com/rachels-matchbox-template/
I absolutely loved the idea of envelope-style matchboxes and I already have small collection of them : )
I decided to share my favourite creation here - Wonderland matchbox set.
Set includes:
- envelope-style matchbox outside wrap from black cardboard and elements of scrapbooking paper
- inside drawer from black cardboard with tiny ribbon loop for easier using
- 18-paged miniature book 35 x 48 mm
The box is exactly matchbox sized.
Here are some detail photos of whole set. Since box small and flap closing box doesn't like to stay closed original artist suggested to use some kind of tying for it - in my case black ribbon. To make sure it will stay in place I made two small vertical cuts in the back and put ribbon through. To give it more finished look I added little spades symbol : ) Another trick I learned while making this project which you can see on bottle - transparent tracing paper with varnish create wonderful transparency. I love how this part turned out really much <3 I'm sure I will use this idea in many other occasions. At first this set was supposed to include only box but my bookbinding syndrome woke up so since then book seemed obligatory xD
I hope you like that project, I really loved making it a lot. I plan to make bigger sized boxes like that as cigarette box for my friends, we will see how this will turn out : )

Rainbow Dream
Long time no see, since I was spending time with my beloved Eyslyn (http://raspberrydeer.blogspot.de) <3 As I was in her place I bought lots of accessories for my crafting, I will show some photos of them soon.
Here is my latest creation, Rainbow collection <3 I decided to make book with rainbow pages, and then used scraps of paper to create paper stars I filled IKEA bottle with. It was really lots of fun, especially making paper stars was really relaxing. Some of them are made by Eyslyn too P: Lollipop by Manufaktura Cukierków, handmade sweet manufacture located in Warsaw <3
Rainbow Book is 10,5x14 cm, 100 pages, coptic stitched.
Rainbow Jar contains around 100 paper stars in rainbow colors.

Cupcake pincushions
Cupcake pincushions based on the tutorial i found on Pinterest (http://www.madebymarzipan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/cupcake-pincushion_01.png but I modified it to my own needs)
I usually just save tutorials and never do anything with them, but this time I decided to try it out and I made those 3 cuties : )
Biggest one - blue+pink+white is for my grandma, yellow+beige+white is for my bff Eyslyn (http://raspberrydeer.blogspot.com) and pink+light yellow+beige is for me : ) I really love hoiw they turned out, they are pretty tiny though P:
I rarely craft something else than books and boxes but this project was really fun <3
