A Bargain Hunting Duel

Today is May 15th and time for another round of the Dueling Darlings!

Kelly is this month's hostess for the Divas, and Jeanette is May's hostess for the Dazzlers.  They came up with a unique theme - "Bargain Hunters"!  Kits this month were made with items they obtained as bargains: clearance sales, discount shops, second hand, etc.


Here's what Jeanette included in the kit:
Image & Sentiment: Sparkle 'N Sprinkle Happy Flowers (purchased at a going out of business sale) stamped on Recollections 110# card stock, purchased with a coupon and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Designer Paper from Recollections Home Basics Paper Pad, purchased during a 40% off sale :0

Ribbons/Fibers: Amuse from Jeanette's days as a Demo with her discount.
Baker's Twine from Target Dollar Spot.
Classic Traditions Satin Ribbon from Michael's clearance.
Floral Gardens Grosgrain Ribbon and Offray Crochet Thread, both from a thrift store.


Embellishments: Dollar Tree Puffy Dots.
Her Grandma's buttons!! (like my Grandma, Jeanette's always cut buttons off of old clothes before discarding them).
Paper Studio Brads 50% off at Hobby Lobby.
Paper Studio Heart Charm, 75% off at Hobby Lobby.
Sequins from a thrift store.

Here's a view of the inside panel:

The only thing that I used that was not in the kit is the bright yellow card stock for the base.  The sentiment was colored with a marker from Stampin Up.

Jeanette, thank you for such a fun image and a unique and fun theme!!

Well, I'm off to visit the creations of the Divas and other Dazzlers.  Always great cards to admire!
