Seems all of my daughter's good friends are having babies!! No pressure Allie! You know I am dying to become a grandma, but all in good time!
I enjoy shopping for baby gifts and love to try different ideas for wrapping them.
These happen to be for a sweet baby girl named Charlotte!
These will be mailed out of state - so I wanted some decorations that would pack in a box without to much destruction. I loved the soft color pallet of the scrap paper I had with soft pinks and greens.
I started with a neutral roll of off white paper, I purchased this roll at Michaels. I figured I would use this for some of my Christmas gifts too. (I say that as if I have actually started my Christmas shopping!)
But with adding some rick rack and ribbon I made these very baby appropriate!
Can you tell I love buttons?
The flower below is made by using three different flower stamp and then cutting each of the flowers out by hand. I then layered the flowers and tucked some punched leaf fonds in for a little more interest. These are one of my favorites to do.
I love the big thick chenille rick rack on this one too! It was just a left over scrap from another project- glad I am a bit of a hoarder, that jar of scraps comes handy sometimes! The pink and green behind the chenille are strips of scrap paper, I used a scallop punch along both edges.
I wish baby Charlotte and her family wonderful healthy and happy times ahead!

That off white paper gives the package a softer look than white. I really like the embellishments especially the stamped flower. Don't worry Ann I have plenty of Halo stories until you become a grandmother . (Take your time Allie)
