I wanted to share a "budget layout " with you today. I'm pretty thrifty {aka cheap}, so I tend to use everything that comes in kits-even scraps!
For this layout I used 2 two inch scraps of paper and some leftover bling from the Halloween kit I worked with for my guest designer layouts. I added a few cardstock stickers and brads from Wal-Mart's $1 scrapbook bin, some leftover Thickers; did a little border punching and called it a day.
This layout used less than $5 in materials but I LOVE how it turned out:
Side A:
I used my Martha Stewart spider web punch (purchased at TJ Maxx for $3.99!!) on the scraps of patterned paper and added some bling to highlight each web.
Next I added a bat border cut out using an EK Success punch that I got on clearance last year at Michael's.
Side B:
I absolutely love this Halloween collection for Wal-Mart's $1 bin-I still have a ton leftover to use for other layouts.
There you have it-scrapbooking the thrifty way!
How do you save money scrapbooking??
Have a great weekend!
looks awesome!

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute page!! I love the detail of the little bats around the border. I'm a follower now!

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! The brads and the border punch are both so cute! And of course, I love that it is so thrifty :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always trying to save money scrapping. I try to use the negative and positives of my die cuts so nothing goes to waste, and I keep all of my scraps, because you never know when they will come in handy!
Great 2 pager! This turned out great. Love that you got so many photos on the page. Cool bat and spider web punches. I feel like I've been stalking TJ Maxx and Marshalls lately. I love finding cool $3.99 punches there. I'm hoping they will have some MS Christmas punches soon. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun LO!
ReplyDeletethis is simply perfect! It can get so crazy with how much money can go into creating a sinlge layout, but you've proved that it doesn't have to be the case!
ReplyDeleteI love the layout of your pictures! So cute, and $3.99 for that punch? Awesome! I always use coupons, and shop online when there are free shipping deals :)
