Gift wrapping ideas using Scrapbook Supplies :)

I love the idea of using SCRAPBOOK PAPERS and EMBELLISHMENTS to add a special touch to gift giving!   That's what I'm doing for my Christmas presents this year.  I enjoy using unconventional Christmas trimmings anyway ... so here are some ideas you might like to try as well.  I'm using my Nature Garden Collection, found here in my Etsy Store.

See the pillow box up the top right? I made that by folding a piece of 6x6 inch paper from my Nature Garden Paper Pad.  I created it using a video I found here on youtube.com.

Here's a CD I wrapped for my Dad with a paper from my A4 Nature Garden Paper Pad. I trimmed it with ripped up lace (fabric store), recycled silk sari ribbon, a Nature Garden journalling chipboard embellishment , and a Nature Garden Vintage Metal Trinket.

I wrapped Mum's present below in natural paper, taping it up with 7 gypsies washi tape and adding some more Nature Garden embellishments.

It's easy to turn the adhesive chipboard embellishments into tags by punching a hole, and adding some ribbed lace. I love the fairy charm here too. 

I hope you enjoyed these ideas for Christmas wrapping, and that you are enjoying the season!

of her fab techniques on video as well.

My Art Journal - Win one of your own!

I finished a small project tonight that I started some time ago at one of Anna Debrowska's classes that I attended at Prima a few months back.  This was an awesome class, and everyone really cut loose with their styles!  Here it is .... my 'Inspire Me' Art Journal :) ... This album cover is created with the Prima Mixed Media Book Covers which are made of canvas. They are really beautiful to work with. You can mist them, paint them, collage them.

Well, I need to get some of you over to my new blog here, so as a little incentive, I thought I would send one of these Mixed Media Book Covers (blank of course) to one lucky winner through the mail.

Creating Art With Up-cycled Vintage Books!

1. Go ahead, it's ok. Rip up an old vintage book. Just make sure first that the pages are strong, it's a boring book, and that it's not worth anything on Amazon.com :)

2. Paint, splatter, cover, paint. Use gesso, inks, watercolors, glitter and glam sprays. 

3. Layer, paint layer. Add funky up-cycled elements such as pieces of old tape measure, and a pinch of punchinella (from Gauche Alchemy).

4. Feature a black and white photo that brings the background design to life.

5. Add hand-made vintage book-page roses and some old shabby buttons to give it nostalgic charm and dimension.

Do you like what you see? Any thoughts or ideas?
