What is Thrifty Thursday?
With the economy still on the rebound we all need to get as much bang for our buck as possible. So each Thursday I'll show you inexpensive ways to use your paper crafting supplies.
This weeks project.
If you tuned in last week for Thrifty Thursday you saw me take a thrift store find that looked like this . . .
Once I got this far the elementary school lined paper I used on the front panel immediately made me think of the school children in the Greeting Card Kids stamp set. So with a little more effort it turned into what you see today.
I was really having a tough time deciding if I should give this to my son's classroom teacher or the principal. I've already made a few things for his classroom teacher so I thought I'd give this one to the principal. She is so cheery and just a delight to be around. I think she deserves something special too.
All told this project cost me about $3 to $4.
Not bad for a chic boutique look!
Stop back next Thursday and I'll show you a few coordinating accessories to go with this gift.
