Dec201117

Today’s post is a giveaway within a contest! We are joined by vendor “Senior Portraits 101” for a guest post and your chance to win their “Senior Portraits 101 Guide“!

First though, we have several new entries in our 2011 Wrap Battle from Paperie Boutique and HB Photo Packaging—sponsored by Artsy Couture, Bad Sass Backdrops, CPQ Professional Imaging & Hardwood Frames! (Official rules are here, and a list of this year’s prizes is located here.)

First up is Entry #4 by Nicole Haley Photography – Audrey would be proud! Boxes are from HB Photo Packaging.

Entry #5 is by DeVoe Creative Photography & Design. Somehow I have a feeling this photo doesn’t do it justice!

“This is my every day packaging dressed up a bit for the holidays! It is very important to me the everything is either made from recyclable material or re-usable. All of the printed marketing pieces are printed through WHCC on their Art Recycled Card Stock. Under the birdie gift wrap is a CD case from ReBinder, made of recycled cardboard. The bag and ornament are reusable which is great! I dressed up the accordion albums with a simple bow.“

Next up, our Entry #6 is by Carolyn Vaughn Photography. She uses the boxes for prints and albums. I just love the pop of color!

And our Entry #7 is by Jen Lynne Photography. I was so excited to see her enter this year – you can see more of her packaging details here!

Thanks so much to this round of packaging entries – they are all gorgeous!

There are still several entries in my inbox left to post, and I’m sure more will be coming in soon as everyone finishes their holiday orders – so keep checking in!

For information on how to enter, check out the instructions here.
