Here is a project I've just started. I've been working on my Moccona Jar collection for some time now, and decided it was time to make me some cute labels. I scoured the internet, and eventually discovered an awesome blog called TheGraphicsFairy run by a lady named Karen. I chose a Vintage inspired label, saved the image, and then whacked it into 'Paint", added a text box, and then made a stack of labels using "Kunstler Script". Once I printed them and cut them out, I decided to age them by soaking them in black tea. Then I just let 'em dry, and pasted them onto my jars using Craft Glue. Yay. I'll probably be sick of them in a few months... but for now I'm in lurrrv.

I think these look super cute.
Can you see my cute little metal egg holder? I think it is really meant to make Poffertjes. I scored it a a thrift store for a dollar or so. I'm pretty sure it's best to keep eggs in their cardboard containers, as this supposedly prevents them from drying out and absorbing odours.... but I like this look.
See my "Muesli". It's Atkins Advantage Muesli... Yummerillo. Very low carb, very filling... and very pricey.

I loved the idea of making my own vintage labels. I made 4 of them and dipped them in black tea. They turned out great. The problem I am having now is, I can't remember how I made them smaller to print. I have tried everything I can think of and they print out huge. Can you help?
Thanks!
