A friend of mine is a "frugal" stamper (self named! honest!), she often shares tips on how to make your crafty dollar spread farther. Which, heck, you've gotta love! (check out her site to pick up your own tips
http://www.scrappinwithdonna.typepad.com/ ) Anyway, when making this card I had myself a little chuckle. The only "new" item on this card is my card base, the rest is all scraps from last years "I Wish" Simply Scrappin Kit which I had left over from a class I took through my frugal friend. I even made the leaves by trimming the overprinted area on the sticker backing, as I'd used the real leaves on a project last year!
OOOH! And don't forget to come back Friday to read my exciting news!!! I am BURSTING at the seams!!!

Way to go, Robbyn! I love that everything you used on this card was a leftover or scrap! Now you know why my stampin' studio is such a mess - I NEVER throw ANYTHING away!
