I've landed back in New York City after just about a week away! There's nothing quite as sweet as coming home, is there? Of course, now the great clean up must begin. Can I admit that I've been so busy for the past month or so that I have just put everything I own in huge piles? Now it's time to pay the piper and clean it all up. Sigh.
But lest I start complaining, let me say how very touched I am by all the congratulations that were left on yesterday's post. Thank you for your generosity and support. It is much appreciated! :)
And now on to a simple crafty idea:
Recently, I was unexpectedly invited to a birthday party for a friend. I wanted to bring a little gift with me, so I grabbed some little paper embellishments I made (remember this tutorial), but I had no card. So I decided to turn my wrapping paper into the card!
I took a book page and wrapped it around my gift (you can see the gift in the upper right hand corner of the photo below). Once I had the parameters, I painted the book page.
Then I inserted the gift and wrapped it up!
The final step was to add a pretty ribbon:
Gift wrap and card all in one! Give it a try!
Thanks for stopping by!
