Simply Beautiful Gift Ideas

Paper crafting isn't just about scrap booking. You can create beautiful handmade gifts that will be treasured by family and friends. The Creative Memories Power Palettes are filled with beautiful papers, co-ordinating flowers, ribbons and other assorted embellishments. Here are a couple of wonderful, yet simple gift ideas, that showcase the versatility of these "fabulous" products.

Using paper and embellishments from the Reflections Power Palette, I created this adorable paper purse. Fill them with candy and they make the perfect little "thank you" gift. These would also be wonderful to use as favors for a bridal or baby shower!

Next, I took composition notebooks (from the dollar store), and using paper from the Enchanted and Fabulous collections respectively, I was able to transform these simple notebooks into beautiful works of art!

I love the embossing on these papers!

Love the bright, beautiful, fun colors of the Fabulous collection! These notebooks would be great gifts for a "bride-to-be" or "mom-to-be"! An adorable way to document the all the details of their showers!
