Label Maker Love

Yesterday, I finally broke down and got a label maker. Mostly, I decided to get it because I really wanted to label my keys. I have so many that sometimes it takes me 5 minutes to get in my door which is not very safe. It took me about 10 minutes to label all my keys. I still create separators on my key chain... like my keys, other people's backup keys, etc and find a new cute key chain (I believe that my last one suffered a fate similar to my eaten gladiator sandals).




I had also gotten a photo box for my sister to put all her cards in for her baby shower coming up so I had to label it of course.
                                      



I also wanted to do something kinda fun with the gift bags for her shower, so I simply printed off a label and added some scrap ribbon. I think it would look even cooler with the embossed labels but I didn't think to grab that last night.



If I were to get the embossed tape, I would make something like this:

I also think it would be great to print out quotes or sayings I like and make some art. The more and more I think about it, the more I think I need to get an old fashioned embossing label maker.

Another fun thing to do with a label maker:

What fun things do you or have you done with a label maker?

Update: I had a random idea. I needed to update my phone number on my cat's tag but I did not want to shell out the 10 bucks for a completely new tag, so I simply printed out a label and put it on over the old number. Now, is it the most pretty thing in the world? No... but sometimes I like to mix it up.

  1. Are you sure you're not related to my mom? She is the labeling queen.

    P.S. That is the most organized set of keys I've ever seen. You should be very proud.
