Two years ago, my refrigerator was covered with wedding
invitations. This year, it’s baby
season!!!

Yesterday, one of my besties had her baby shower for her
sweet baby girl, Harper Grace.

Let me just tell you, that baby is one lucky lady. She was
so blessed yesterday and the shower was beautiful! The hostesses really outdid
themselves. The decorations were beautiful
and the shabby chic theme was precious.

I knew I didn’t want to wrap my shower gifts in anything
super pink (since Shauna doesn’t really like pink in general) and thought it
would be fun to coordinate with the rustic theme of burlap and lace.

I wrapped the gifts with kraft paper and then decorated with
twine and pearls. A doodle with the little lady’s name (based on a Little BabyGarvin’s doodle) and a flower on top.
Perfectly dainty.

I also got a few football themed gifts and since Aaron
coaches football at Norco High School, I wanted to tie that into my giftwrap as
well. I have good penmanship, but I am horrible at drawing/sketching. So I had
to get creative and figure out how to get the Norco logo on the present.

Originally I thought I was just going to use carbon tracing
paper, but I kept forgetting to stop at Joann’s on the way home. So I improvised. It worked pretty well, other than a couple
pulls from the sharpie and mistakes on my part.

So I figured I would show you how I did it.

I printed my logo I wanted to trace on plain white computer
paper in black ink and wrapped my gift with brown Kraft paper that I purchased
at Target for $4.99. I creased the edges really well and then unfolded the
paper.

Then I lined up the logo sheet with the top crease (making
the logo appear on the top of the box) and taped it down so it wouldn’t shift
around while I was tracing. Be sure to tape it image side down so when you flip
the paper over the image will be facing the right way.

Untape the box from kraft paper and place on top of your
lightbox. I’m too cheap to purchase an
actual

lightbox, so I use an old box lamp – I just have to watch that whatever
I am tracing doesn’t get too hot. Trace your image and voila! Logo giftwrap!
Re-wrap the box, lining up the creases and finish wrapping. Decorate with additional embellishments if
you would like!
