horse blinders on. blocking everything out except the sound my scissors are making cutting out each label. if i had a staff of elves i would sell them cut already. alas, i do not.
but cutting is fun. {not lying}
oh...the tape is there because i ♥ all the reds together. i'll stick labels down with my tombow adhesive.
and there will be png files of the plain labels so you can add any old words you want!
or use in digital layouts, or on blogs, or WHEREVER!
almost ready to put them out into the world. almost.
thanks for the encouraging comments & emails. makes me feel warm and jumbly inside.
back to work!





























loving your labels. very cool. also loving the red dot tape. have to get me some.

Oh Mary Ann, these are fantabulously amazing. I've been spying over your shoulder the past few days...too much going on but like that line from the movie Ocean's 11 "someone's always watching' between these labels and your journal pages, you've been bringing some much need bright spots to my world. These simply R O C K!!!!!! Oh yes they do!!!!!!!!!! Have a sweet weekend and keep cutting!!!!!

Mary Ann, These labels are gorgeous!!!!!! I have been wishing for them, since you started showing them to us. Now I am thinking MAYBE you are going to put them out in the world for all of us to love and use???? I think this is what you are saying, but I can't believe it! It would be so wonderful. Leslie

Posted by: Sharon Tomlinson | Sunday, May 20, 2012 at 04:09 AM
When I worked full time in the schools, I kept a pile of stuff I'd laminated to cut when the "noise" in my system got too high. Love me some quiet cutting action.

OH MY! I love labels...just don't like being labeled...HA...I don't have a means of printing these...could we buy them from you printed up for the cost of printing and postage for snail mail? Is that too much to ask?
