This week I made these little gift tags. The brown paper is scrap from some tags I made last year. (Take that - I knew I wasn't crazy for saving every last scrap of everything I ever touched!) And the old fashioned looking stuff was also leftover from a large sheet of scrap book paper. Glue, punch hole, tie with raffia, voila!
I also tried these gift bows made from catalogs. I found the tutorial on one of my fave design blogs How About Orange. Cute, huh? For ten months out of the year I'm off all junk mail and catalog lists but somehow they seem to find me in November and December. This was from a Pier One ad that I received the day after Halloween.
And one more idea I haven't gotten to yet... Remember Franke James whose book Bothered by my Green Conscience I reviewed in August? Well she has a post all about Junk Mail Gift Wrap over on her blog. I can't wait to try this~

So how did you make the labels? Do you have a special tool to use for cutting to make them look oh so purty? Love them btw!
ADORABLE! I love the junk mail wrap too! I am going to have to start saving mine! CUTE!
