School's Out for the Summer


Our last day of school was May 25th and I've enjoyed my time off so far {76 days left of vacay!}
I've been looking at the selection of commercial stickers on the market...while they are pretty, many of them just don't reflect what I am looking for.  I began a process of trying to make my own stickers at home...{daunting task and a brain twister}.  I considered purchasing labels made for a printer and using my own words/pictures.  Then, I thought about just printing fun ideas using newsprint paper {it's a bit thinner} and literally cutting them out or using a fun punch shape...and either gluing them or using double-sided tape.  This is a fun idea because I'm all about having something unique and something that a million people can't go get in the stores.  I started with emoticons and will work my way to original pictures or drawings.  What do you think?

 I also like the idea of making my own envelopes and stamps inspired by these originals from the 1950s.  Any thoughts?

I was just looking at all the cars parked in my neighborhood with gifts in their hands, and thought to myself, "I bet school is out soon!" I think it's a great idea to make your own stickers. I wouldn't begin to know where to start, but it sounds like you have some thoughts about the process. Making your own envelopes is a creative idea too. That's a cool tote bag, and your cat has the prettiest eyes.

Enjoy your summer break!!
