Who says you need to start with a theme and then find paper to go with it. Why not start with the paper.
I love this candy buffet from Amy Atlas Events
The lollipop trees capture the whimsy of Snow & Graham’s Twiggy paper while Hatch is the perfect backdrop to some very tasty looking treats.

While doing some major blog catch-up I found this over at Style Me Pretty. I absolutely love the use of paper cranes.
The crane boutonnieres are my absolute favorite part. Very unique, and an element I’m sure all the guests will remember.
Chartreuse, Lime, Apple Green, Celedon it goes by so many names but every year everyone seems to be craving the same color… Spring Green.

That magical color that seems to lift your spirit and gives hope of warmer weather. If it’s starting to feel like winter may never end this might be the perfect time for a little color therapy.

My favorite spring green picks are filled with pattern, pattern, and more pattern…

Mibo is a design studio based in the UK that specializes in providing surface pattern for almost anything, from teatowels to food packaging, notebooks to cars. I love their clean, bright design and the perk is they have some great free downloads. For the new year I am going to use this 2010 planner. You can get one too on Mibo’s website
Between working here at Paper Mojo and all my “projects” at home I am surrounded by beautiful paper that I just can’t part with …. (fire hazard?) Design Sponge has several tutorials to recycle the papers into some easy and creative projects. Great inspiration!
{Martha Stewart Magazine shows you how to wrap it up}
We we all have our secret santa names drawn and are looking for that special present but this post is to help my friend who says it looks like a monkey wraps her presents….no offense against the monkeys. This year we will overcome this phobia of gift wrapping. Here are some step-by-step instructions from Real Simple magazine.
Martha Stewart has a lot of creative ideas for wrapping and decorating presents in the Christmas Workshop. Take a few minutes to look through them as as there is a lot to be inspired by.
Also here is one of Snow & Graham’s wrapping tips…use a glue stick. It’s what they use when wrapping gifts for photo shoots. The Scotch Clear Wrinkle Free glue stick works great.
Hope this helps. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when you finish…thanks secret santa!
