Make Your Own Tags ~

Today, I had to do what I hate the most as a homeowner. YARD WORK.  I love to cut and trim the hedges, but I hate cutting the grass.  But I did it. I didn't quite finish cutting the back yard since it is getting dark earlier, but I'll finish it tomorrow.  Prolong the agony...

I did do a few things today that were fun; this was one of them

I go through a ton of price tags every month. They are normally white and boring.  So on my recent trip to Micheal's Craft Store, I found this great punch.  It punches 3 tags sizes in one punch.  A few years ago, I thought I would scrap book. Everyone was doing it, so why not give it a try. I loved the patterned paper and bought a ton of it. I made one page and never did anything else with scrap booking. Why would I, when Shutterfly does such a wonderful job??


It punches a little tough, but I think after some use, it will get smoother.


A cute pink 1/8 size hole punch for the hole and we're good to go


My first attempt with scrap book paper. It is a little thin, but still works. Card stock would be better, but I don't have any of that right now. But look what I do have that would be perfect...


Paint chips that are very stiff and thicker than scrap book paper and FREE!




I just need to add the string and I'm all set. 
So now if I run out of tags, I can just make some. 
I think I love it..
