Krafty

There are few things I love more than kraft paper (I wrapped all our Christmas gifts in it last year), but throw in a smattering of simple divine typefaces and I'm smitten! Cheer Up Cherup probably didn't know how perfectly the ceramic coral paired with yesterday's Bald Head Island wedding, but we can revel in it!

    i don't know what it is, but the elegant simplicity of that invitation is beautiful!
    Is that dish painted coral? it was reminding me of the sea urchins I collected on the beach when I was little!

    those are lovely...

    i wrapped all of our gifts in super-thick-almost-cardboard-PACKING-paper...it's also brown and can easily be confused when you send your fiance out for "kraft paper."

    i love it! I have always been funny about textures of everything! Socks, paper, even spoon handles. So I am relaly diggin this paper! I love the fronts too. I get a little over whelmed sometimes with all of the combinations, and choices there are out there. But I like to see the finished product even more!

    I love kraft paper too. I used it for the first time for my sister in laws baby shower and it was a big hit. Plus its way cheaper than fancy wrapping paper. Win Win.

    Lillian from Unstitched blogged about kraft paper today and I'll be honest- I had no clue that's what it's called! But I do love it very very much.

    I love kraft paper too and did the same thing for Christmas one year. Then the year after that it was all newspaper and red ribbon ;)
