Fancy that Friday

This is my last Friday in Mexico. Next Friday I will be on a plane to The States again. Which means I probably won't have a Fancy Friday till Saturday next week. Sorry, guys!

I fancy gift wrapping and cards made with love.

If you didn't know, I love making cards. Yes, Hallmark is nice, but handmade shows so much love. It reminds me of when I was a little girl (or even now days) and making things for family or friends...I would ask "Do you think they will like it?" And my Mom or Grandparents would always say "Of course, because you made it." There is just something special about handmade cards and unique wrapping, it adds some extra love.

I love different scrapbook paper and fonts to create my cards. Yesterday while working on a few Christmas cards I was really starting to miss all of my supplies from The States. I have been using the same paper and style of cards for the past 6 months. Don't get me wrong, they look great, but I am excited to head to the scarp booking store for some Christmas paper to make some more cards when I get back.

I am planning on decorating my gifts a bit differently this year besides the normal wrapping paper and bows. I told my Grandma that she needs to save some paper bags for wrapping this year. I am going for the recycled wrapping look this year I think, and adding something a little extra. My Mom is pretty dang good at whipping up some nice looking packages. You know how packages will look so pretty that you just don't want to open them? It's like that. I hope my wrapping creativity is as good as her's someday.

I think pulling a late night with all of my cards and wrapping sounds like a good plan! A date with some coffee, card making, and gift wrapping...with maybe a few Christmas movies.
