Obsessed with good design, style, color, fashion and living by the water, this is me dipping my toes into the big world o' blogging and looking at the amazing images, products, projects and ideas floating out there.

Be green and save your green: paper the holidays
Photo from Sweet Paul
Thanks to the "great recession of '09" I think we're all looking for ways to be a bit more thrifty this holiday season. B and I are also always looking for ways to be more green. But, even though we love the green (both the earth and some moolah!), I would never want to sacrifice a gift looking beautiful.
Luckily, paper - from newspaper to old books to sheet music - is a great way to dress up your gifts and home for the holidays without having to spend a dime. Here are some pretty gifts, ornaments and even wreaths made from reused paper:
Newspaper gets cute, from Country Living
Adorable little paper star ornament from Scrap Log
Jingle bells and sheet music make a lovely gift wrapper, from Country Living
Awesome book-page wreath from Living with Lindsay
Newspaper is dressed up with cardboard on Just Something I Made
And finally, even a simple gift tag (which could also be made from reused cardboard or cardstock) dresses up newspaper nicely, from The White Balloon.
See? Pretty, cheap and green!
