Little Surprises

I'm loving the gift wrapping ideas within this page! Luxurious, floppy bows, dainty flowers, great paper, and even postcards, add such a customized touch to presents. They're almost too pretty to open! I think my very favorite example, though, is the vertically wrapped gift, with the postcard and perfect bow set on top. Do you ever keep cards from previous years? (I always keep the super lovely ones) *Why not cut the written part separate, and save it away, and use the front to add pizazz to a present. Not only will you be re-using something lovely, but the receiver will certainly enjoy the extra detail...




I just couldn't resist showing this page as well—Aren't these little ballerinas just adorable? And what a sweet idea to take the ballerina theme into the trimming of a little tree...silk roses dress the branches, as clouds of tulle and chiffon ribbon drape the tree for a girly, dreamy look. The perfect idea for little ones, or ultra-girly girls at heart...
