Vacation Fund Jar

A friend of mine recently asked me to make a "vacation fund" jar for her boyfriend. Their dream destination is Ireland. This is what I came up with.


Since this jar was for a man, I really needed to keep it as masculine as possible. I found a map of Ireland on the Internet, and I printed it on cardstock. I ripped it and inked the edges before applying it to the jar front. To label it as an "Ireland Vacation Fund" jar, I printed on a 7 Gypsies journaling card, set a travel eyelet, and I tied it around the jar with black twill. I have some awesome Making Memories word fetti travel stickers, and I used them all over the jar.


Here is the top of the jar. I cut the circle with my Coluzzle. I stamped an arrow, used some alphabet stickers, and added more word fetti stickers.


I decorated all four sides, but I'll just show you the back. The tag and label are both Making Memories. This is a BIG jar. In its previous life, it held cocktail peanuts! My friend assured me that her boyfriend loved the jar. Yeah!

Well, I have running around to do for my husband's birthday tomorrow. Before I get down to celebrating his birthday with him and the girls tomorrow, I'll be going to a rubber stamp flea market! I'm meeting my girlfriend Kathy there, and I just can't wait! I'll be sure to show you my purchases!! Have a great day, a fantastic long weekend, and as always, thanks for stopping by!
