Celebrations!

Even though I haven't started creating with these products yet, I thought I would show you some of the cool stuff I found at Celebrations (the Japanese stationery store next to Mapunapuna Ben Franklin Crafts).  I went in to get some thin holiday ribbons for attaching to tags (center of photo) and not only found pretty shiny and rustic ones but discovered lots of adorable printed tape (to the right of the ribbons) which I plan to use to dress up packages for mailing. My favorite find at the store were the extra wide washi tapes!  I know I will put them to good use in future projects. Below the wide washi tapes are some Christmas, sakura and dancing animal washi tapes that I just couldn't resist.  To the right of the washi tapes are fabric tapes that I think will pair well with lace and doilies. In the front is a box of cat paper clips (other animals available) that I can imagine using on a card to attach embellishments or gift cards.  In the back of the photo is a set of package toppers (lots of other animal shapes sold at Celebrations),  open mouth cat bags, handle with care/fragile sticker labels and dessert magnets.  I also bought a lot of  printed wrapping paper sheets....so many to choose from and so reasonably priced.  Hope that this post whets your appetite for the novel items that Celebrations sells.  Check them out before you start your Christmas wrapping and wrap up your gifts in style!
