Olivia Popcorn bags and goody bags

Adrienne has fever so we spent the entire day at home. She was supposed to be resting but really she was playing the whole day. skipped a nap and went to bed without a fight at 6:30.

Anyway I spent my afternoon making this
and this

They're white images because I bought a whole lot of white paper bags yesterday morning (we're talking 200 paper bags in 2 sizes!) for popcorn bags and loot bags for her party. I went to a packaging supplier to get those plain white paper bags and they only came in 100s. haha. At first I was thinking of getting those chinese take out boxes in red... they're more expensive of course (for the price of 7 boxes, i get 100 of the bigger white paper bags) and although they'd look really cute, I wont be able to stuff as much goodies in them as I can in the paper bags. Anyway I had nothing to lose, the paper bags can be used for a gazillion things including Adrienne's school lunches or tons of arts and crafts projects so I got them anyway.
Now my problem is how to print them when my HP officejet 7580 keeps getting jammed whenever i load in a paper bag!!! AUGH! Ive been doing tons of google searches on how to not get a paper jam but twice that I tried, the paper bag got shredded in the rollers. A friend of mine did something similar last year (in fact, I asked her where she found her white paper bags) and I remember she told me how frustrating it was trying to print them.
Anyway im going to try printing again. hope it works at some point!
