$$Frugal Friday Tip$$

Design Team member Amy submitted this Frugal Friday tip. She said, "For this layout i wanted to use multiple paper strips behind my photo. Well, i had a problem. I didn't want to cut into all of my 12x12 sheets, but i really wanted to use strips. So instead i used the bottom portion of the paper that usually has the company name, etc. In this case, Echo Park paper, has a sample of the other side of the paper on the strip. Sweet! Problem solved! I used the strips, that i would normally throw away, and used them on my page!

Added my photo and stickers.

Finished product! Added some textural elements, like gems, stickles, and floss."
