renee is back with this perfect idea for holiday cards!!!!
(and to save money!!! who doesnt want to save money!!)

Cards On A Budget.

By Renee Ybarra

Supplies:

Bo Bunny Cardstock Winter Cut Out

Coordinating paper

Coordinating ribbons

Coordinating Colorbox Chalk Ink

Diamond Stickles

I found this Bo Bunny Winter Joy Cut Outs

sheet of cardstock paper at my local scrap

book shop. I loved the colors and seen a quick

easy way to make a few cards for pennies

each with stuff you probably already have in

your stash.

I cut up the cardstock.

Then I stickled everything I could or though needed

a little sparkle...Like the centers of the snow flakes

the Christmas bulbs and little dots I seen. I just bling-

ed it up to make it look sparkly!

Tied some coordinating ribbon.

Inked the edges.

Matted the smaller pieces to coordinating cardstock.

I made 5 cards and 3 small gift cards (not pictured)

all for .99 cents and supplies I already had. Talk about

a budget. Who said it has to cost a fortune to make a

pretty card?

Happy Holidays to all!!!

this shelf holds my stuffed donkeys and other animals. all my hand made stuff I love and the stuff others have made for me. and all my scrap books. on top of the books are layouts waiting to be put away.

heres the left side of my table area. where i store my photos and all my paints and glimmer mist. and above the table I have thos bulletin boards i showed you all how to make a while back.

heres my table front and center. these drawers on my table hold all the little tools and supplies I use alot. and pens. on top is my mp3 player and speakers. and my heat gun. always plugged in and ready to go. then my little garage sale tv so that I can watch my classis vhs while scrapping!

and heres the right side of the table area. my dresser again with tv. behind that I hang all my jewlery and 2 of my halloween masks. then I have my jewelry box my dad bought me when I was little and a cly pot I made in highschool in 10th grade.
