Friday Fun- A Book Challenge

It's time for some Friday Fun.  This week, Jimmi has challenged us to make a card or project based upon/inspired by the book you are reading or last read (or a favorite).  I recently discovered that my phone has a Kindle app so I have downloaded quite a few freebies and several other books to my phone.  Having said that, I have yet to read most of them.  A book I have started and I am trying to apply to my life as much as possible is How to Shop for Free by Kathy Spencer.  I am only on Chapter 2 (I think) but using some of the principles in the book I saved over $50 the last 2 weeks on my grocery bill.  Keep in mind, that is for a family of 1 (and 2 fur babies) so that is actually pretty darn good.
Since the theme of the book is shopping I decided to pull out the Retail Therapy set from Paper Makeup.  Oh, this set is bags and boxes of fun.  I combined the Friday Fun Challenge with this week's Mojo Monday (#173) sketch and this is what I came up with:







 Stamps: Paper Makeup Retail Therapy
Paper: Mark's Finest Paper Corn Husk and Breezy Blue; Webster's Pages Patterned Paper
Accessories: Ribbon from Mark's Finest Papers; Nestabilities, Brads 

We would love for you to play along- it's all for fun! Be sure to check out the other Friday Fun Girls blogs for more inspiration!

 
Thanks for stopping by today- Be sure to have some Friday Fun!!

I love reading via the kindle app! I haven't figured out how to shop for free, but I do shop as cheaply as I possibly can. I got a lot of the kids' Christmas presents for 50-70% off. Buying for 5 kids forces me to shop well - especially if I ever want new stamps!
