Wrapping as Red as Rudolph's Nose + Link Up!

As you may know, I am addicted to packaging ideas. 
Gabe and I get really excited to pick out what will be St. Nicks wrapping paper to the kids, and what will be the rest. I found all my supplies at Hobby Lobby this year. Their wrapping paper is thick + it has a grid on the back to help cut straight lines. Double plus. Here are a few that are sitting under our tree...
Would LOVE to see your wrapping ideas! 
Link up below if you have a wrapping and packaging related post. It can be from whenever, and doesn't require a link back. You only need to leave a title and the link to the post! That way, everyone else can see your post as well:) If you create the post in the next week, definately link back so more people can join the fun!

Counting down the days till the big birthday of the King of Kings on the 25th!!

Pretty, Pretty, Packages! I too love beautifully wrapped gifts...but I haven't started on any yet!

A while back I saw a video that suggested using aluminum foil to wrap a gift. Sounds interesting...I might give it a try.

Merry Christmas!

I use Hobby Lobby wrapping paper too! This year I'm using a simple brown with Christmas tree pattern; I wrap it up with twine and make a tag with glitter paper.

I love the classic red & silver!

We're being really lazy this year with packaging. I'll be using Ikea gift wrap. It, too, has a grid on the back & has really fun scandinavian patterns.

I've added a few of my tutorials!! Thanks. ;)
