WRAPS

I seriously LOVE wrapping gifts

Im usually the one who wraps all X-mas presents for my whole family!

Anyway I had some left over scrapping paper from my B-day

I adhered the boxes with glue dots to help them stay together :)

Heres some of my favorite places for wrapping paper

Whimsy Press check out this Do-it yourself doodle wrap

Papersource {of course}

Snow & Graham the coffee mugs are adorable! They also have GREAT letterpress notecards

Broadway Paper THIS butterfly & Chandelier one is awesome :)

During my party I used Jens Stampin Up Die cut the whole DAY!

I thought I made enough :(

BUT I actually need more...

The Halloween Thank You's are A7's

I purposely aligned the die cut towards the top to make a "frame"

You can see what I did with the "positive" side of the die cut

 with my birthday thank Yous :)

 

This card is 4 x 9

I just trimmed the photos to 4x4 & the label fits perfect

I'm using these #10 string & button envelopes from Papersource
