Cute Outfits for Less

I have been spending a lot of time online lately and one of the stores I visit often is The 15 Dollar Store. Everything is 15 dollars and they have a ton of cute name brand items like denim, sunglasses and jewelry that is definitely worth the look! Most of the Fashions are junior sizes like the cute Angie Top, the Stretch Trousers by Hotkiss, and the Kersh Velvet Babydoll. Everything is updated weekly with minimal stock so if you see something you like it is worth trying out. Just like everything in life the sizes vary by brand but they have an excellent customer service that explains more about individual fits.

Pink & Blue Memory Album Pages

Here are some more items along the Pink and Blue color way! These are some of my recent 12×12 memory album pages, they are finished but left open for photos! This really is a fun and fast way to make pages, by using up paper and trim and then adding photos later, it makes it a lot easier for me to place everything for a pretty page and then find photos that fit!

Transparency Cards

For your Viewing Pleasure, I was playing around with some black and white Transparency images and decided to make some cards today to share with you. I used a lot of Pink and Blue pigment ink around the edges of the paper and the cards. No matter how many cards I make I still have a ton of supplies, the transparency images were found at the bottom of that pile!
