Did you hear? We are having a virtual birthday party for the fabulous Karen Baker! A group of us got together from all over the world to celebrate and each of us brought something to the party! The wonderful Erin Thiem is the party organizer and a great one at that!
Karen, we all heart you and since we couldn’t celebrate with you in person, we are celebrating virtual style! Taking a cue from Lawn Fawn’s inspiration week, I chose to bring some handmade wrapping paper to the party using some of what I hope is Karen’s favorite images. Recently, well always really, she made a few cards that just blew me away. Two in particular featured the socks and dog image, so I had to customize some wrapping paper with those images. I threw in the owl too, because, hey… It is just too cute not to!!!! And yup, wrapped it up in a present from me to her, but I can’t say what it is. She’ll have to wait and be surprised when it arrives in the mail!
Erin, thank you for organizing this virtual party!!! You are amazing! Please, check out what the rest of the girls brought to the party. I hear someone is doing something with undergarments, lol!!!

excellent…that gift wrap is perfect!
the punch of red is so great on the kraft. Her card with the dog holding the newspaper is one my favorite of hers!
love the red and kraft–awesome wrapping paper, laurel!
Such fun wrapping!
Fabulous gift wrap! Brown paper package are my favorite!!! I wish I had known it was Karen’s Birthday. I have a little something sketched out that would have been perfect…Maybe I will just have to make it and send it to her a little belated.
Oh now this is perfect, and love that color combo (you know it’s the current CR84FN color challenge?). And really, this Christmas, I should make my own wrapping paper, b/c it really doesn’t get any better then this (I bet I could recruit my little helpers). Thank you for joining us in the birthday celebrations 🙂
This is wonderful Laurel!!! I loved Chan’s wrapping paper and I think I’ll have to give it a try!
Sooo cute Laurel!! What a fun idea!
LOVE it! This makes me want to go make some wrapping paper! Too cute!
Aw….Laurel, this is so very fabulous!! I love your hand stamped wrapping paper! It is so cute–so Karen’s style!! Thanks for sharing your creations with us!! I know Karen would love this!
That is the cutest paper! And VERY Karen-esque!!! 😀
That is some seriously cute wrapping paper! I love that you personalized it by choosing some images that you know Karen loves. The simple pops of red look amazing on the kraft paper.
great gift wrapping paper. You are right about the dog stamp. It totally reminds me of Karen’s card.
Hehe, fun idea to customise your wrapping paper! Got to remember this 😉
