use something you got at a ridiculously low price!
Got it at the dollar store? At a garage sale? (where are these crafty garage sales anyhow...not in my neighbourhood, lol!). At Michaels in the dollar bin ($1.50 in Canada)? Use it! AND TELL US WHAT IT IS :)
I even took a picture of the price tag on mine - I scored 4 or 5 of these insanely detailed embellishments from Jolee's years ago, at Wal-mart. LOOK:
70 cents!?! I hoarded most of these for years, because I never could find papers that matched them well. This is the last one, because guess what? I can use white space now. (pats self on back):
Supplies: Jolee's carousel; Mrs. Grossman's birthday sticker; Martha Stewart scoreboard
This Shopping our Stash challenge is open until next Monday, April 29th - hop on by & leave the rest of my teamies some love!
I hope you have a fabulous day :) I'm going to go get crafty!
xoxo,
Jessi
