Wrapping presents this year for Christmas was fun ... rushed a bit ... but fun! Heavy snow on Christmas Eve and a couple of new Christmas music CDs set the mood.
There's nothing really fancy here, but I am pleased with how it all came together. I used scrapbooking paper to wrap some of the CDs, and I really like that idea. Scrapbook paper designers are creating some incredibly beautiful stuff. Why in the world they're not branching out with their designs into the Christmas gift wrap market is beyond me. I'd buy!!!
The other papers shown here came from The Container Store and Wal-Mart. I used a variety of embellishments to make things especially festive ... red and white spray-painted red oak leaves from the tree by my house ... gold spray-painted Bradford pear leaves that I picked up in a parking lot in town ... Fort Knox chocolate coins (big hit with the teenagers ... edible gift wrap!) ... and a mix of satin, sheer and wired ribbons that I purchased on sale here and there throughout the year.
The leaves were easily added by slipping their stems between the folds of ribbon just before I tightened the knots. The chocolate coins each have a small piece of double-sided tape affixed to the back. The possibilities of what you could stick on a package with that stuff are endless.
I am hopelessly addicted to the rich, warm colors of fall, so I always tend to use a palette of golds, reds, greens and browns when I start wrapping Christmas gifts, although I did branch out a little with some silver spray paint this year.
I've always avoided the cool blues, purples and pinks, but those scrapbook paper designers have opened my eyes to some new possibilities ... blues, browns and greens maybe? It's a good thing that I've got a year to think about it.
Remember that really great packaging doesn't have to be expensive. A plain brown gift bag, some twine, fall leaves from your yard and a heartfelt note in your unique handwriting might just end up on someone's bulletin board or in their keepsake drawer. Personal expressions that say, "You're special to me," have a habit of becoming permanent souvenirs. They're just way too rare in this world.
Let's change that!

Children are so delightful and very often ingenious as shown here where the children delight in finding the wrapping paper from a baby shower to play in. They got completely engrossed in the activity!
