I'm Sensing a Theme Here...

So, yeah.  I am a cheapskate frugalista.  I was shopping at Target (said with a French accent to sound super classy) and saw a pack of Christmas letter stickers ("JOY") for 99cents!  I have quite the fascination with letter stickers, letter rub-ons, etc, and for 99cents....I "splurged."  This afternoon I had a few minutes while the baby was napping and the guys were out, so I decided to do something with the stickers.  (Sidenote:  soooo proud of myself for this, because usually these things just end up in a drawer somewhere!)
Here's the supplies I used:
I wasn't sure what paper to use, so that's why 3 kinds made it into the picture.  This project was SUPER simple.  I painted the frame black (used one of the very basic wooden frames from Michaels - it doesn't have glass so it showed off the 3D stickers), cut the paper to fit, glued it on, and then put the stickers on.  Doesn't get much easier than that! And here's the finished product....
Since I had all the supplies except for the stickers, the project was completed for a grand total of 99cents!

Your email isn't linked so I can only reply in comments, but my husband followed Alton Brown's show about pumpkin puree! WAY too much work for me. I'm lazy like that!

I love the dollar spot at Target, although I'm right with you-- normally that stuff just ends up my in "do something with this" bin. Your project turned out soooo cute, I love it! I featured you today on my favorite things.
