I found a new (at least to me!) toy over the weekend . . . Dymo has a new 3/8" label maker called the Caption Maker. What's different about this one is that it's PINK and has three interchangeable font wheels that you can take out and change mid-sentence or even mid-word! I've used the upper & lower case here, there's also a lower case cursive font.
If you click on the hyperlinked text above, that will take you to Dymo's site so you can see what the label maker looks like and also the fonts. But the price listed there is more than what I found with a Google search. I also got mine for less at my local Michael's . . . but I'm not certain you could find it in your local Michael's. This is a new prototype store Michael's is trying out in my area, since they are based here, and they had a lot better product than I've seen in other Michael's stores.
Sorry my sentiment isn't showing up too well here, if you click on the photo for a larger view, it may be better. That's due in part to Dymo's new clear tape that I used to emboss on (OH, the possibilities!) and then applied it over some of the patterned paper I used in my project.
I just had to rave a little bit about my new toy here . . . to see the rest of this project, please visit the CLASSroom today!
On another note, I just wanted to share something else I was excited to see over the weekend. I received my new November PaperCrafts magazine and was flipping thru it, when I saw this Spellbinders ad:
These are both my projects that I've shared with you here on my blog: Sleighbells Ring and Apron Box & Invite. Isn't that a pretty ad? Thanks for sharing in my excitement!
I hope to have another project for you tomorrow using Taylored Expressions' darling little Trick or Sweet gouls, witches & goblins!
Congrats on a beautiful ad with your great projects! I love checking your blog daily - thanks for the great inspiration.

Sharon, you need to start showing us something like thick wool socks or quadruple ply toilet paper.....cuz I buy everything you get excited! I actually think I could show some form of reserve with the items I mentioned above Ü Come to think of it, though...winter's approaching..my feet get cold...Ü
Thanks for the great insight! The clear tape sounds yummy! I'm "there"!

We had one of these label makers when I was a kid, I didn't realize they made them anymore! Congratulations on the magazine ad with your projects, that's very cool!

Sharon congratulations. I receive your blog and read it daily. You always have the most clever and unique ideas! How fun to see your things made up in such a nice layout. You must be very proud. Now if the rest of the mags, would just follow suit perhaps you'd start your own line and get paid for what you do so cleverly!! Wishing the best for you always, and very glad to receive your blog!
