Do you have an Archiver's store in your town? I'm like a kid in a candy store in that place! Recently a friend from work told me about their free make and takes and I went to check it out.
This is a card I came home with after trying out the Claudine Hellmuth paints and stamps. What I like is that I get to learn some new techniques, try out some tools I don't currently own and leave with something cute and fun!
Needless to say I now own a Martha Stewart scoring tool (thank you Michael's for putting it on sale for 50% off), Ink Essentials mat, and a Xyron adhesive and laminating kit (found dirt cheap at Tuesday Morning). All because I was able to get my hands in and play!
I never leave empty-handed at Archiver's... believe me. I went nuts on mini stamps of all kinds and I love their selection of papers. I'm still trying to get them to carry Crafty Secrets. Love that line.
Currently I've been eyeing the Cricut tools and really do not have the extra money to buy one. I admire many of the cards I see made with their dies and cartridges. I don't know anyone that owns one of these machines. I'm so confused by all of the products out there Spellbinders, Cuttlebugs, Cricuts, and Sizzix. How many are needed? What's the best?
Such a "darling" blog you have here for sure. I thank you for your sweet comment on my blog. I am your newest follower. Do come back and visit me again.
