Are you interested in joining the fun and having a chance to win some great prizes? Each Monday 10am mst, I’ll have a link-up party on my blog.  This is your chance to showcase what you’ve made from Ruby Star Wrapping.  The link-up party will close on Saturday 10pm mst (one entry per person and you can’t link the same one twice). I’ll draw a winner on Sunday and send the winner an email. Then another party will start the following Monday all over again.   But keep those links, because Sew, Mama, Sew will also have a link up party at the end of Wrap-along on their site so you’ll have twice the chance of winning something fun!

  3. Patti KRueger says:

    This looks like an awesome book!

  4. Tape! My kids always take all the fun tape :)

  6. How cool!

  7. Linda Cartwright says:

    Love the book, will be looking for more paper next time I am out!

  8. Sarah Norman says:

    I don’t need anything but the paper and tape, but I do sometimes use ribbon if the tape has gone missing! Some new ways to wrap gifts would be nice though!

  9. Great looking book!

  10. Ribbons! any kind, you can do some many things with ribbon!!! I always stock up during clearance sales. You can get some pretty great ribbon for $.50 a pop after the hlidays!

  11. Terry Kessinger says:

    What a great book, I can’t wait to see everyone’s work!

  12. My gifts have to have ribbons and a bow – a little habit I picked up from Hubby’s gift wrapping.

  20. This book looks awesome!

  21. Tape!!

  22. I’m a tissue paper nut! I love to use it when my wrapping paper is too thin, and inside boxes. I do always feel bad about it, though. I know it all gets recycled at my house, but I don’t know what happens at the homes of the other people I send gifts to. I would LOVE this book!

  23. For me it is clear sellotape, whatever else I use be it tissue paper, wrapping paper, ribbon etc the only thing that is a constant is clear sellotape.

  24. I’m just a paper and tape kind of girl, but I think this year I will have scalloped printed tags for embellishment too.

  25. Pretty ribbon!

  30. The last gift I gave was a book I wrapped in fabric for one of my quilting friends. I took the Quilter’s Travel Companion and wrapped it in a fat quarter of fabric.

  31. Anais Cowley says:

    Tape and Twine…

  32. I usually need the right ribbon or string to match and never have what I am looking for.

  33. I need good sharp scissors!

  34. Washi! What gift isnt prettier without some awesome washi tape?
