Everyone seems to be cutting back these days. I decided to challenge myself and see how much I could make with a limited amount of supplies.
I purchased:
4 sheets of Making Memories Giggle Kids double sided paper = $3.96
1 pack Making Memories
Giggle Kids embellishments = $2.98 (used a coupon)
Total out of pocket cost = $6.94
I supplemented the rest from my stash. (cardstock, letters, ink, adhseive and stamps). From this I was able to create 4 layouts. After I finished the pages, I used my scraps to create 15 quick cards. That's pretty economical and now I have tons of cards for all the birthday parties my boys get invited to. Challenge yourself this month to try this with your WIP Kit. how many pages can you make? How many cards can you whip out with the scraps? With all the money that you save in greeting card purchases, you'll be able to buy some new CHA goodies when they come out!
