Initially yours... jewel toned gift wrap

I went a little color crazy with the gift wrap this year - royal blue, fuschia berry, green gold, pewter & chartreuse. Pink for girls and blue for boys, more or less. I find that by making packages really beautiful it makes the whole wrapping thing less of a chore and more of a fun craft activity.

I added monograms using gold glitter glue, which at first I though was a brilliant idea because it will make it easier to find each recipient's gift under the tree until I realized we have a lot of "M"s in the mix.
I made round tags from pewter scrapbook paper. It's difficult to see but that's a wax seal with our monogram on the chartreuse raffia.
It's a shame that all this wrapping will eventually end up in the trash bin. The greeting tags are a free printable from fellow fellow. Everything else is from Michael's Crafts.

I did glitter glue monograms too! I love solid crolored wrap with lots of embellishments - pretty! :)
