Our weekend included a birthday celebration for David and I want to share the novel, interesting, greatly appreciated by David {really}, oh and yes frugal, gift wrap I used ...
... more magazine pages! Goes with the gift bow made from strips of magazine pages found here.
With so many beautiful images and colors in magazines it's easy to find a page that's recipient appropriate ... in David's case {or in a month for me}, dogs are a great choice. And incorporating text along with images creates a texture and interest to the wrap {also confused David momentarily which was part of the fun}.
Had to show a lovely floral wrap page too. Of course, David focused on the whisk - thinking kitchen ... cooking ... eating ... to make this selection fit him better ;)
The most difficult aspect of using magazine pages as wrapping is finding a page you are willing to part with. But I think even Martha would agree that using pages from an old issue of hers to recycle and wrap is a good thing.
Happy Monday all,

This is a wonderful idea. I am all for recycling paper and this works even better when you find an appropriate picture as you did. Your husband's reaction sounds typical for a male recipient - I had to say it - which is fine and part of the fun! Thank you for sharing!
Martha would most definitely agree! Love the bow. Thanks for the lovely comments you left on my blog. I so appreciate the visits!
How creative!! Great idea! =) New GFC and Pinterest follower! Hope you have a great week, looking forward to more of your projects!
