With the way the world is financially at the moment, we all look at ways to save money. So I have challenged myself to create a few layouts spending $10 or less.

Here is the first one:

Here is what I used:
* the white page inserts that are in the albums – $0
* 1 sheet of patterned paper, making memories – $1.45
* sheet of vellum stickers from EK success – $2.99
* 4 eyelets – $0.10
* 1 sheet of Cardstock – $0.70
* 1/2m ribbon – $0.50
* Metal ribbon slide, alpha beads, washer and rub ons from stash, but probably valued at $3 (as they are not full packets)
So total spent: $8.74 (less than $4.50 per page!!)

And here is the 2nd one:

I used:
* the white page inserts that come with the album as backing pages. – $0
* 3 sheets of patterned paper (marked down as it was last seasons!) $1 each – $3.00
* Mulberry Flowers – $3.00
* 2 packets of Kaiser Adhesive Pearls $1.80 each – $3.60
* Brads and rub ons from stash – probably about $3 value
So the total is $12.60…..and yes I have gone over budget!

Has any one else made some budget pages? How much did you spend? Are you willing to share your layouts here? What are your best money saving ideas?

I will list all ideas here next week. The person with the best Scrapbooking money saving idea will receive a bag of 100 mixed shaped brads from my online store.

Till next time!
