Where do you keep your memory cards?
Are all of yours tucked in pockets and purses and all over the place like mine are? I think I have one in my wallet right now, three or four with my scrap stuff, another two or three on Culynn’s desk, and a few more hiding in my camera bag. They’re EVERYWHERE.
My Pick of the Week is really the perfect product for me right now (I don’t like to delete photos off of memory cards until I know I have them saved in at least two other places – I’ve lost thousands and thousands of photos before – not a good feeling):
The Memory Card Organizer from Pioneer.
It holds up to ten memory cards, each card protected in its own little compartment, AND there are memory areas to note which card has what on it (I need that SO bad…I search through every card EVERY time I need pictures).
Another great way to stay organized in 2012! Get your Memory Card Organizer on the Annex today!

Happy Tuesday!
You know what Tuesday means at Archiver’s…50% off all photos prints and copies!
It’s kind of ridiculous that I didn’t think of this sooner…
Pinterest has AMAZING photography and wonderful tips and tricks all over the place.
I got a “fancy” camera last March, right before my family went on our “last family vacation” before I got married. I seriously love my camera…but almost a year later, I’m still learning the ins and outs.
That’s why I love Pinterest and the incredible inspiration it can be…so here’s my Pin of the Week for this Tuesday with 50% off photo prints and copies:
Here are just a couple of the photos that I’ve find on Pinterest that I just think are gorgeous:
And another one:
Ok just kidding. 
Your photos don’t have to be the best of the best to include them in an album or a scrapbook layout. Some of my favorite layouts are of the goofy photos or the photos that didn’t quite work. My mother in law has a tricksy camera that doesn’t always let her take the picture she wants…so sometimes you have to make do with what you have…but sometimes those are the best memories!
Do you have any great photo tips or tricks? I’d love to hear them! Leave a comment or post one on the Archiver’s Facebook page.

Happy Friday the 13th!
Short post today.
My pick of the week is pretty basic. Everyone needs cardstock, right?
Each of these cardstock packs are full of Bazzill cardstocks in a variety of colors and textures, and each one varies just a bit from the next one. My absolute favorite is the Spicy. The colors are so warm and rich…but then again, I also love the Classic, Creamy, and Crisp packs too!
Happy Weekend everyone!

Happy Thursday! Is this week flying by for you, too? Uff da.
I’ve been scrapbooking for years (I think since 9th grade?) and I absolutely love it…but don’t get me wrong, I can get super overwhelmed working on a scrapbook. Where to start, what to buy for a new album, what size do I want my pictures, does my album have a theme, the questions are endless.
If you’re brand new to scrapbooking and don’t know where to start, or maybe you’re an avid stamper and card-maker and want to try your hand at scrapbooking, or maybe you’ve been scrapping for years and want a bit of a refresher, we’ve got the perfect guide for you:
The “Start Scrapbooking” Getting Started Guide has so many great tips and ideas to get you started on a scrapbook. Whether you’re scrapping from 25 years ago, or the birthday party your child had last weekend, this guide has everything you need to UNDERwhelm you. Here are a couple of samples from the guide:
This gets even better…

Happy Scrapping!

I told you last week…I’m going to get organized and stay organized this year!
So continuing with that theme…here’s my Pin of the Week:
You: Hold the phone…that’s not about organizing!
Me: I know I know…but what a cool idea, I couldn’t resist sharing!
You: Ok, I suppose, but I really thought you were going to talk about organizing…
Me: And I am! Here we go!
All of these great storage ideas have been found on Pinterest, so I most definitely cannot take credit for them. But aren’t they brilliant! It’s always those small odd-sized things that I have trouble keeping organized, and Stickles are one of them. I love that each of these Pins has them stored pointing down – it’s genius!
Don’t forget – Today is the LAST DAY to get 53% off QuicKutz/Lifestyle Craft dies AND Keepsafe storage boxes at Archiver’s (in stores only).
How do you keep your craft room/craft supplies organized?

My husband is from Mitchell, South Dakota, home of the world’s one and only Corn Palace. Have you ever been there? It’s quite the sight. Yesterday, Mitchell, SD broke the high temperature record (according to the local weatherman here in Minnesota) by 17 degrees. I’m pretty sure my father-in-law was running around in a t-shirt all day. I most definitely would’ve busted out the flip flops and my giant floppy hat.
It’s a heat wave!
So in honor of the “winter that wasn’t”…I have a tropical pick of the week:
Graphic 45 has some of the most intricate patterns and designs. Seriously, some of them I don’t even want to cover up with photos. I bought the entire On The Boardwalk line to frame and decorate a room with some day.
Check out this adorable card using the Tropical Travelogue collection:
This collection is available on the Annex or at your local Archiver’s.
Hope you’re all enjoying this wacky winter!

Happy 2012 everyone!
Have you made any resolutions this year? One of mine is most definitely to get my butt in gear and get back to the gym. Seriously. It’s on my way home from work. I’ve run out of excuses for not going.
Another resolution of mine is to get my scrap stuff organized and to KEEP IT organized. My scrap stuff is mostly contained, but I have a bunch of random bags and boxes floating around my apartment (that are pretty much driving Culynn crazy). AND it tends to get pretty cluttered when I’m working on pages…so my Pin of the Week is all about organizing.
I don’t have that much extra space in my apartment, but I do have a bookcase that holds most of my scrap stuff. I have paper organized by color, all of my gems are in a tote (I love some bling!), embellishments are in a tote, ribbon and trims are in a tote, and then I have a tote of projects in progress.
I’m not so secretly hoping that someday I’ll be able to have my very own scrap room once Culynn and I are in a house. I’ve even been told by a certain husband of mine that I will get a scrap room because he doesn’t want to see all my scrap stuff all over the place…so I’m thinking this will work out pretty well.
Here are a few more organization ideas:
I’d love to hear how you’re staying organized…post a comment here on the blog or on the Archiver’s Facebook page!

…ok who are we kidding. I’ll be pinning til the end!
Today I thought I’d change things up a bit. Instead of a project or cool crafting finding, I thought I’d leave you with something inspiring for the end of the year:
At the end of this year, take time to enjoy. Especially the little things. Take pictures. Be silly. Laugh. Cry. Whatever you want to end this year with.
Just enjoy it.
