I'm always seeing people (bloggers) making these neat labels.

I'm just curious - any idea what program or how they make these?

Here is an example of what I mean - mid-way down.

I'm not that computer literate, so maybe that is why I can't figure out how they are doing this. :)

thanks

If you have Word or Microsoft Publisher (or the Apple equivalent) it would be pretty easy.

Just about any office supply store (Staples, Office Max....) would have some kind of label. Avery is one that comes to my mind, and they all have their own brand now too.
I buy my own address labels for my Christmas cards. There are really easy directions to follow on the packaging.....and with Word or Publisher you can pretty easily add the swirls, zig zags and squigles that she has on her blog.

Here is Avery's website and it looks like they sell a lot more than just address labels now!

If you're not looking for something sticky (or you just want to glue or tape it) you can still follow the directions from their website for the specific shape of label you want...print it out on regular paper and then just cut and paste/tape. (I do this when I run out of address labels, but still want the look of a nicely printed label :))

Better homes and gardens has some pdf templates that are cute like that and you print them on a particular Avery label.
