Hooray! The day is finally here! My niece's bridal shower. I'm up early, sipping on my first (and only) cup of coffee, and using my time wisely(?!?!?) by creating a blog post.
Yesterday afternoon I wrapped Krissy's shower gift with some homemade paper. (You know you're addicted to blogging when you can't wrap a single package without documenting it with photos so you can post it later.) :o}
I love using freezer paper for gift wrap. Only problem is that it's fairly shear so you want to make sure you'll be wrapping a box or item that doesn't have print that will show underneath..
Just stamp the image and wait for it to dry... (I used a pigment ink that took FOR.EVER. to dry!)
Tie with tulle (making sure no tulle-eating-cat is anywhere near...)
Create a matching card and it's all set.
I'll show you what's inside later.

I'm off to celebrate my niece and her upcoming marriage!
xo!

I hope you all have a fabulous day! I think the UK could do with importing bridal showers; we have Hen Nights (not that I did!), but they hardly compare!!
Ooh, it's so pretty! Hope you have/had a fantastic time xx
Hope you have a fantastic time at the shower, I'm sure your niece will have a great time. In the US does the bride-to-be know that it's her bridal shower day? In SA a friend would arrange to go out with you and then arrive at the house after everyone was there and it would be a big surprise.
I love the idea of using freezer paper and would never have thought of it. I have a big roll from when I was doing patchwork and never knew what to do with it afterwards - I guess I have my answer now :)
Look forward to seeing the photos from today.
Your niece is one lucky girl! She will be absolutely thrilled with what you have created for her..it's going to be a wonderful day.
Gorgeour wrapping ! I am sure you will have a great time at the shower.
By the way if you are interested in the journal class I took, it was a lot of fun, go here :

gorgeous wrapping! another to add to my list of ideas I love (although I might use butcher's paper, not sure what the Australian equivalent of freezer paper is ~lol~) Hope you had a great party!
well, how did the day go. it had to have been so beautiful.
