"Bring on the merry" is such a great sentiment set - perfect for mixing and matching on holiday cards....and gift wrap:
I wrapped a gift in kraft packing paper (I always buy a huge roll from Staples) and then cut a thinner strip to create a belly band in the middle. I stamped "have yourself a merry little Christmas and a happy new year" to wrap all around the gift. A huge paper bow makes the present all ready for the giving. I really love this look - that outlined "merry" is just begging to be colored in, isn't it? Just wait until Friday, hee hee.
There will be a 15$ gift certificate up for grabs during the sneak peeks. Be sure to leave comments on all of the designers' blogs (you have until noon - CST time - on November 7th) and a winner will be chosen at random and announced later that day.

Love the idea of using a belly band for the packaging - so clever!! All your gifts are going to look so sophisticated this year!!
