Frugal Scrapbooker?

I think I am a FRUGAL scrapbooker!
I just can NOT stand to waste paper!
I spent the day sorting my summer shopping trips into messy room! I also cut a herd of deer for my Christmas tags- I played with the vagabond all afternoon! I really love the mini dies ... I think I have to buy a few more...
I just hate to waste my paper so I cut it small enough and use papers tape to SAVE my Kraft paper! I would estimate that I have 18 paper holders that hold about 200 sheets each-- You know waste NOT want Not?

So I have decided I am NOT a hoarder! I am frugal!
What are you?

Kathy

PS... stay tuned my tags are coming soon...
Yes I am on the road again... my theme song, but I'll be HOME for Christmas

For My Trick - I made a Treat Bag-- Yummy! fill it all your favorites- Chocolate and sweets-
I used Crafty Secrets Postcard Kit for Halloween, Tim's New ink Gathered Twigs to edge, of course I think as all scrapbookers I would want to use the embellishment on a page or for another use , so I put some super Crafty Power Tape for later use!
My Bag came from Walmart 5/$1 , some ribbons from my stash!
Just a little project but you could make some great Holiday wrappings for little gifts!
SO easy for School/church projects, even small children could help!

Fabulous Friday-Punky Sprouts & Elizabeth Park!

I finally finihed something! I won this cute little Chipboard Album from Punky Sprouts in a giveaway durning CHA--
Every Friday I will be sharing things - it has been so hard to get motivated since closing the store- but sitting in my messy room with some music and get crafty finally felt fun again!

I have all this stash what good is it if I am not using it?

New is Nice but always better!
Have a great weekend!

California Dreamin...

Ok friends I am asking for a FAVOR-- please visit
http://art-fullhorizons.blogspot.com/2011/04/share-some-ah-maaaaaazing-news-and-win.html
Tell them How bad I really want to go -- just think if ever one of my followers posts a note on the blog... I may have a chance -- Gary says he will buy me a plane ticket if I win (since he is not funding my scrappy interst anymore lol)
If I win I will come back and we will do a project smiliar to one that we do there... I just know that Donna Salzaar would love to see her products in Sweet Home Alabama since there does not seem to many LSS who carry them -- I guess that what I miss the most -- Unique and different - somehow that other store in town does NOthing for my creative interests !
By the way I am placing another order for a few more of Donna's Paper Kits -- email if you want me to order one for you...
Have a great day, the weather is beautiful may have to take my New Flip flops for a test this afternoon to BAM and see what new magazines are here!
