    Creative solution ...

    ... kinda.

    It's my youngest granddaughter's birthday tomorrow but although I have something to give her, a Dr Who DVD, I couldn't get to the shop to buy wrapping paper, so, I made this.

    Photoshop file


    Unfortunately I only have A4 size paper and whilst one side may look ok ...


    .. the other is a different story.


    But still, it's the thought that counts. Isn't it?

    I love it love it love it!!! It's thoughtful, personal and shows a lot more effort than a "store bought" generic card. Very nice

    Er, excuse me, but WHAT is wrong with the back, again? I am the world's WORST wrapper; I have packages looking like that when using a ROLL of paper. Don't worry about it, she'll LOVE it!

    How neat is that!! What a great idea! Another suggestion is use the Sunday comics for wrapping paper.

    Nothing wrong with your wrapping job at all & it looks great. It might last
    all of 2 mins before she opens it anyway. Great idea you had to make
    your own paper.
