"Frugal Finds"..................



Today at Splitcoast Stampers, Julia came up with the idea of “Frugal Finds” for the “Ways to Use It” Challenge. Well, what could be more frugal than FREE background paper designs? One of the blogs that I check out, almost daily, is Jak Heath’s “Crafters Kitchen” and the other day she had some lovely “Damask Papers” that she designed and offered for free download and I just fell in love with them!!! You can find them here. She also made a card using them that I used for my inspiration and you can find it here. Another item I consider frugal is that I used clear Dew Drops that I colored black using my black Sharpie! The little “birthday” tag was designed by me and cut with my Pazzles “Inspiration Creative Cutter”. “Happy Birthday” was hand written by me!
