envelopes to be envied

Aren't these pretty to make a gift or greeting extra special? Very simple to make with unused wallpaper, scrapbook paper, pages from old books, quality gift wrap and unused maps. We have several outdated road atlases that would be a great source. Just a few simple steps, using an envelope as a template.

diy labels

Creature Comforts has fun free printable paper downloads for gift giving. I love this one for soap bars. Check out Marshall's and TJ Maxx for quality soaps, keep an eye out for my favorites and then print a pretty personalized label to make it special.

Directions for this project here and lots of other cute ideas here. Need to locate the source for the pretty wrapping paper....
