So, fellow cardmakers, I have a dilemma. This week my husband and I are planning a quick day trip to the Mall of America (DH insists his clothes are falling apart. FINE, make me shop.). :) There's a huge Archivers there, and as many times as I've been to the MOA, I've never been in Archivers.
So, dilemma is not whether to go inside. Oh, I will. How much do I allow myself to spend, is the question? I am planning to mail my OWH box for my deadline 5 days early, which I think means I can allow this small trip, as long as I plan accordingly. :)
So, while I go to google Archivers coupons (are there some? someone tell me!!), here's my card for the new sketch over at the Stars & Stamps blog:
paper: Basic Grey's indie bloom, Unity Stamp co stamps, RRR jute ribbon and a whole lotta distress ink!
Did you notice my new holiday challenge ------> ? PLEASE join me in making cards each month that are holiday/winter themed for OWH! Each year the Christmas deadline sneaks up on me in the fall and I am woefully unprepared. Set your own goal - mine is 5 each month - and then we'll have something to mail to our shippers, even if that pesky deadline sneaks up again. :)
Thanks for visiting me today!

Jen this is a very pretty card. Love the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI love this card!! I don't even know what an Archivers is, and I probably shouldn't find out. :) sounds dangerous... :).
ReplyDeleteI live 2miles from an archivers. I have to limit my visits because there is so much to shop for. Plan on about $200. Download coupons from their website. Great card. Have fun shopping.
ReplyDeleteCute! The striped paper has such a nice old-fashioned feel to it. Perfect with the mason jar image. No Archiver's near me but based on their online site I'm guessing you will have some fun. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Jen! Love that adorable paper! Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
ReplyDeletePS - I've only been to an Archiver's once, but I racked up at some clearance bins in the back so be on the lookout for something like that!
I love this simple CAS card with the jar! Too cute! And have fun at Archivers for me :)
ReplyDeleteLove your card with the jar. I am planning on doing your challenge. I will also try to do 5 a month
ReplyDeleteThis card has a vintage look and I really like the subtle colors. And I like your "holiday challenge". Good idea ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty vintage card!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Ellen
I've never been to an Archiver's so will have to live vicariously through your trip! Lots of deets please!
ReplyDeleteLove the jute ribbon on your card! :)
Have fun on your trip to the Mall! Take a roller cart for all the goodies. Great card for this week's challenge, I like how you brought the ribbon underneath the image. Thanks for playing along!
