Happy Holidays

I’m getting ready to wrap things up for the year, and I hope that you’re getting ready to start your holiday break, too. 2010 has flown by, and what a year it’s been! I hope that you’ve had a great one, and I am very grateful to all of you for taking the time to visit Paper Crave. I’m so thankful  for your comments, emails, tweets, and links throughout the year, and maybe I’m biased, but I truly think that I have some of the most kick butt (am I allowed to say “butt” in a holiday post?) readers around. Seriously, you gals and guys are awesome. Thank you!

Be safe, enjoy your holiday festivities, and I’ll see you back here in January with paper cravings galore. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Psst … if you’re looking for some last minute paper crafts, gift tags, or other free holiday printables, be sure to check out my free printable gift tags, lots of festive freebies, a few more festive freebies,  free printable holiday goodies from Love vs. Design, and printables in pink.

And if you have a little time to do some paper-centric reading during your break, I’ve been sharing thoughts on what trends I think we’ll see in wedding invitation design in 2011 over at Invitation Crush: Envelopes, Details & Postcards, Color, and Style & Inspiration. Much of this info is applicable the non-wedding stationery niche, too, and I’d love to read your thoughts and predictions for the coming year.

Martha Stewart Thanksgiving Craft

I’m just about outta here for the Thanksgiving (US) holiday, but before I head off to start baking pumpkin pie and apple crisp (yep, two desserts this year…mmm!), I want to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving, filled with good times and plenty of fantastic food. And safe travels to those of you who are heading to far (or not so) far off destinations over the holiday.

I have a Weekly Wrap post scheduled for Friday, and I hope it gives you much inspiration for upcoming holiday gift wrapping. Have a happy holiday, a great weekend, and I’ll see you back here on Monday!

The beautiful velvet dahlia arrangement and custom-dyed pom pom branch crafts are two of my favorite ideas from the November issue of Martha Stewart Living. The photo by Maria Robledo is so lovely.

Congratulations to Adina, who has the winning entry for the Paper Mojo holiday gift wrap giveaway! Here’s what Adina had to say about her favorite colors for holiday gift wrapping:

I love using untraditional bright colors like blue, orange and yellow together or mustard, fuchsia and grey! One of my favorite color combinations is copper with a metallic baby blue.

I’ll be contacting you shortly, Adina, to let you know how you can claim your prize, and I want to give a big thank you to everyone else who participated in this giveaway. I really enjoyed reading all of your color ideas. So inspiring!
