Whisker Graphics

I had a chance this last weekend to do a little designing and I made these holiday gift tags for you. There are 10 tags to a sheet, 2 each of 5 different designs. I decided to use the aqua and red color combo that seems to be popular this season.

The amazing Cathe Holden of Just Something I Made strikes again! She designed a dozen(!) packet/envelopes to house everything from gift cards to love notes to receipts/coupons. Each and every design is darling and free to download and make! Click HERE to visit her site and access the download.

I sent a little package to a friend. I used a white sandwich bag with some Lemon and Oyster Divine Twine and my mad calligraphy skills (ha!) on  a couple of hang tags.

It’s that magical time of the year when the LOML turns into Baker Bob and bakes up a storm of delicious cookies for the neighbors. He’s in charge of the cookies. I’m in charge of the wrapping. We delivered these boxes (yes, there are cookies inside) to smiling faces Sunday night.

As promised, here is another Halloween freebie for you.

Some ideas for using the 3" square tag/label.

This is a 3″ square design that comes 6 on a sheet. This PDF is editable, meaning you can enter your own text and format it how you like (font:style, size, color and alignment; the design is not editable). Enter and format your text, print on card stock or full sheet labels, trim and enjoy. Download tags HERE.

Here’s the BONUS. Over on Skip To My Lou you can download coordinating cupcake toppers and editable invitations (no need to handwrite your party info).

On Tuesday, I went with my sister and niece to Paper Souce in Berkeley. My sister was looking for some envelopes and I was along for the eye candy that Paper Source always delivers. So, what an unexpected treat to find PS’s labels on rolls on big-time sale! There were only a few left and I bought most of them. I had no idea at the time what I’d do with them, but I find it hard to pass up a deal.

Tuesday evening my husband talked to me about needing a baby gift for a client. My mind went right to my new labels. I made some book plates with the rectangular labels.

I also made some coordinating flat notes for Millie Louise (is that the cutest name, or what?).

I gathered my wrapping supplies.

I used the 5″ label to seal the white bag, then tied it all up.

All wrapped up and ready to give.

I remember when we bought our first house and moved our belongings in and were eager to meet our neighbors. But nobody came knocking. It felt strange. Lonely.  Of course, eventually we did meet the neighbors and they were all very nice, but I still remember that initial feeling. So, whenever  we get new neighbors I go over, say hi, bring a little treat and welcome them to the hood. New neighbors started moving in across the street last week and as I was wrapping up their goodies I discovered doilies make good wrapping paper.
