Wrap It UP!

The Holiday season is in full swing and will be gone before you know it.  So, as we wrap up another year, I thought it would be fitting to focus this month on layering with ribbons, as though we were wrapping a gift.   There’s something undeniably magical about taking the time to make your presents feel as unique and intentional on the outside as they are on the inside, especially during the holiday season.  I absolutely love wrapping my gifts and making extravagant gift bags and exquisite bows.  Whether you prefer classic, minimalist, or creative approaches, the presentation can make your gift even more memorable, so let’s exercise this thought in this month’s layering challenge Wrap It UP.

Katie’s selection of wrapped up pages is a great place to start https://www.katiepertietdesigns.com/store/index.php/product/wrapped-up-pages-layered-template-04/ or you can feel free to venture out on your own. If you use the wrapped up pages, you must add some additional layers of your own, florals, lace, tags, journal cards etc.

Our team has been busy putting together some fabulous wrapped up pages for your inspiration and  Katie has been so generous to provide us a freebie for this challenge.
