Drink Photo Dots from My Own Ideas blog #labels

(Used in this project: Small Circle Vinyl Labels in Custom and Vida styles.) Celebrate simply and with a lot of class, using little dot labels with a photo of the person-(or people)-of-the-hour. Put a photo of the special people on a small circle label, and use it to decorate champagne glasses or any number of other surfaces. Be sure to select vinyl labels, because they are easily removed from glass and metal, and can be used again. Choose a high-resolution, high quality photo of the … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Small Rectangle Labels and Small Circle Labels in Cherish Hearts style with Small Window Tin-Tie Bags.) Another easy project with great results! Put together a mix of goodies that children love, but make them really good by being sure they are foods that parents would love for their children to eat.

Slow Roasted Tomato and Jalapeño Ketchup

June 10, 2013 by Leave a Comment
ketchup-1

(Used in this project: Circle Labels and Diamond Tags in Rustic Style.) Homemade ketchup is a recipe that shines best when made using flavorful homegrown tomatoes harvested straight from the garden. I’ve prepared it using both fresh-off-the-vine tomatoes, and tomatoes I’ve skinned, de-seeded, and stored in the freezer. Both methods work to create a delicious condiment that’s perfect for warm weather picnics and barbecues. Regarding spiciness, you can make this ketchup with or without … [Read more...]

Upshernish 3rd Birthday from My Own Ideas blog #birthday #jewish #boy #favor #gift

(Used in this project: Square Labels in Metropolitan style.) An "Upshernish" is a special ceremony that celebrates the 3rd birthday of a Jewish boy, with a traditional first hair cut! Roots of a tree need to grow strong in order to have a strong foundation and bear fruit. In Jewish law, one does not harvest the fruits from a tree during its first three years, nurturing its roots, so it may withstand the elements of nature, and stay strong. So too, we leave the hair of a Jewish boy uncut for … [Read more...]
