Inkredible Stamping

Hi Stampers,

Ok you all know I scrapbook now and then, but I also LOVE another kind of preserving 🙂 .. At our house we love to preserve our Summer Fruits and Veggies. We started off years ago just making Pepper Jelly (one of our favorite holiday Hostess Gifts) and each year we try out a few new recipes for other preserving. Now we spend much of our summer canning.

We usually just label the jars with some boring white labels so we know what we made and when we made it. But if you know me – you know if I can make something prettier – I'm going to do it! So this year I decided to dress up the jars with labels made in My Digital Studio…

Don't those labels look SO pretty!! They were really simple. I used the Scallop Oval "Digi Punch" on different colors of Digi-DSP. Then I layered an oval Digi Punch over the scallop. I made the oval Whisper White and set the transparency to about 50%. Then just type the name and year. We printed out the page filled with labels onto Sticker Paper and punched them out with the Scallop Oval punch. Then just stick 'em to the jar. Quick, Easy, and so much better than our old labels.

It was a lot of fun to pick out the colors for the labels to match each jar. The Real Red was perfect for our Strawberry Jam and of course Peach Parfait went onto the Spiced Peaches. I'm excited to dress up some of the jars for gift giving this year!!

I didn't get a picture of it but one of my FAVORITE new recipes for this year was "Sundae in a Jar" Strawberry, Chocolate flavored Ice Cream topping to die for – It edged out my favorite Strawberry Jam this year. Do any of you have a favorite item to preserve?? Leave me a message and let me know what your favorite is…
