MyGrafico Monday - School Kids

It's Monday, MyGrafico is back, and so are the weekly challenges!!! Yahoo! I've been looking forward to this challenge because I got to try out an idea I had...better yet it worked!


Okay...so here are the challenge deets:
1. Create a card/LO/project with the Back To School theme
2. Post it on your blog or online gallery (please use keyword/tag "MG15")
3. Leave a comment on the MyGrafico Challenge Blog with a direct link to your card by Sunday night at 10pm PST.

And you could win this adorable set:

Here's what I came up with using the little gal with the over-the-shoulder bag:

It's a notecard to go with a lunch bag - perfect for field trips when you may not be able to send the regular lunch tote.


Here's a close-up of the notecard:

And the lunch sack:

I was able to print the digital stamp directly on the brown paper bag!! I had thought of this when I first heard about the challenge and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was!! I just set my paper size to 6" x 12", fed the bag into the printer, clicked Print, and voila!! I added the name before printing - can't you see so many possibilites with this!! I'm thinking the treat bags needed for holiday parties or even gift bags for coworkers :) I especially love how I was able to coordinate the notecard perfectly with the bag and each item had the perfectly sized image.

I never would have thought to print directly on to the lunch bag but that is brilliant! So many possibilities - thanks for sharing the idea!

I never would have thought of trying to print directly onto the bag! Very cute project too, I may have to borrow that. Field trips here always require a "sack" lunch.

Diane Noble said...

Very, very cute. Both projects are great. ALMOST gets me into the back-to-school mode...but not quite. I'm lovin' retirement too much. I just like looking at your creations, but am mighty glad I'm not livin' 'em out...ya know!?

You are a crafting genius!! I am writing print on paper bag, as soon as I get done typing this, in my little idea book! I love the bag and the postcard!!

Hope you got some crafting and laundry done today! I am the same way about laundry... it takes me a lot longer because I forget to go see if it is done and before you know it... it has been 2 hours!

Great idea, looks good too!

This puts my sharipe names with a flower for the dot of the "I" to shame! What a darling idea! I love the card as well!

Did you take your lunch to school in this??
