After spending the better part of yesterday thinking of and trying several ways to make labels for my book boxes, a brilliant idea occurred to me. And that's pretty rare actually.
I am a paper crafter. I am a scrapbooker. I am a card maker. I own hundreds of products that were made just to make paper look pretty. So why don't I just STOP trying to make clipart look nice on my computer and get scrappy for my classroom??? Duh.
This morning, I didn't even look at the computer but got right to work and TA-DA! I'm already done!!! I love how these turned out!
I used 2 1/2 inch squares of white paper and framed them with 2 3/4 inch colored paper: blue for fiction, yellow for either, and red for nonfiction. Now they're ready to run through the laminator and to help me get organized! Whew, one more thing done!
