$$$ FRUGAL FRIDAY $$$

To celebrate Scrap Our Stash's Birthday I am reposting some of our original Frugal Friday Tips.  This one was submitted by Design Team Member Joni last December. 

She said, when she has a layout in which she is going to use a 12x12 piece of paper as a "frame" and then have another piece of large paper behind it. She "cuts out" the back of the "frame" paper, so she has a nice "chunk" of the "frame" paper left to use later. This also helps reduce the bulk in her album.

    That's a great idea! This lets you make a great layout like yours and still have a big piece of cardstock for your next project. Way to save! I love the colors and the pretty border.

    Good idea, Joni! You then could use that square to create a double page layout or even a totally different page. What a way to stretch that buck!

    I ususally end up using the "extra" piece as a mat, or journaling block, or to punch from or sometimes it just sits on my table and ends up being that "test paper" for my markers/stamps...etc.

    I love this trick and use it often. A lot of times I will use all the little scraps to make cards when Im done my layout. Its super fast since I already know all the papers will work together!

    This is one of my favorite tips - It is especially helpful when you have limited paper and you want to use it for mats or to cut the title!
