Hello ladies !!
I hope you enjoyed the blog hop :D
This week I asked our fabulous DT to come up with 3, yes THREE layouts, for less than AED 20 (US$5). I find that doing a budget challenge like this, it not only encourages you to think out the box and get creative with items you would normally throw away or not consider for a layout, but it also stirs up those creative juices, because you REALLY need to think about what you are doing!!!
Here is what the DT has come up with and as always, we would love to see what you can come up with on this sort of a budget :D

colored it in with copic markers. Then I have applied clear Rock candy crackle paint on the colored area.

The Journaling is done on post-it papers.

"Finally , finally I could finish these ….. such a fun challenge!!! I really have to crack my head to get 20dhs for all three layouts …. You know that even a cardstock would cost 4-6 dhs here in Dubai, let alone the embellishment !!!!
So for all three, I just used the normal 150gm textured white paper that we can find anywhere here, A4 size, the cost will be 1dhs each only. For each layout I used one or two papers.
Thanks so much for the challenge, this has made me realized that we can create something from just a very simple and cheap supplies."
