Hi all, I am back from my mini vacation to Chicago. It was all about family, so I did not get to do a lot of sight seeing. But, I did get to go to Archivers, the ultimate scrapbook store.After getting picked up at the airport. My daughters friend took me to the Archivers store in Orland Park, Il. My granddaughter said that when I walked in the door, I stopped, inhaled and said "I am in scrapbook heaven". All I could think was that I did not have enough time to look at everything. I had a couple of coupons because I get their emails. The closest store to me is in Georgia, so I only get there a couple of times a year. But, when I found out that there was one 30 minutes from where my daughter lives. I knew that was going to be one of my places to go. They had copics for $5.99 each. I picked up 3 colors that I did not have. They had a lot of the things that I have wanted to buy, but which I could not get the brands here in town. The only way to get them was to order them online. So I have been holding off on ordering until after my trip and I am glad that I did. I got Hero stamps, Basic Grey 6x6 pads and lots more. But, since I have to get ready for work, I don't have time to go into everything. Suffice it to say I had a wonderful time after my second trip to the store on Sunday. My bags coming back were much heavier than when I left.
Now to my card. I made this card (which is only a card front to use on the scrapbook page of one of my granddaughers. It is a back to school card. Even though I was not going to make one, there were so many challenges that I just could not resist. Tilda is my back to school girl. The best place to buy Magnolia Stamps is the
Magnolia-licious Online line store, I am sure that if Diana does not have it, she can probably order it. I colored Tilda with my copics, E11, E15, E13, 321, E25, E51, B21, B24, R24, R27, Y04, AND Y08. The papers are all from the scrap pile, leftover from other projects. The stickers are all from my scrapbook stash, bought to use in scrapbooks for my granddaughters. The sketch is from
Friday Sketchers:
This card will be entered into the following challenges.
Ok, this should be all, I hope you enjoy this card. It was lots of fun to make. I would love to hear what you think.
