Remember how I posted my personalized Valentine’s day paper? Well my daughter turned ten (as mentioned on her best birthday week ever, Bridgit Mendler interview post) and I had fun making some super cute gift wrapping.

Pin It

Just like the Valentine’s day paper, I created this in Photoshop. But you could use Picnik, Photoshop Elements, or whatever floats your boat.  I used a custom shape for the birthday cakes, but have seen some cute dingbats that would work too. 


Julia had a stack of custom presents to open- it was pretty fun.  My 2’x3′ sheet of paper lasted through five small-ish presents.
What ended up being Julia’s favorite was this poster I created for her:

Pin It

Hard to believe that a poster that big only cost me $4 at Kinko’s. Again, because it’s printed on the oversized blueprint machine, it can only be done in black and white.  Anything color is *way* expensive.  I created this in Photoshop as well.  Just used a picture I had of her and layered on the other elements.  It is now hanging on her bedroom wall- so it must have been a hit! ;)
What do you do to make birthdays special?

    Love the custom wrapping paper! Wish I had done some for Christmas. Think I’ll definitely do some for Valentine’s Day! I’ve tried getting them to do posters for me on the blueprint machine at our local Office Max but they refused saying it HAD to be a blueprint. Sheesh!

    I never thought about using the blueprint machine to print black & white posters! I’ll have to try this one because the wrapping paper idea is WONDERFUL!

(Like Mickey!) I started 30days several years ago as my idea file. After 9 years and thousands of ideas, I realize I’ll never be able to check them all off my list.
