The Splurge Chronicles

Description

This is my first contribution to any layout challenge. I ) it would be kinda fun to make a vintage country-like newspaper. I ran out of room so I'll have to put the captions here, lol!

1.) Thrifty Splurge?! Or perhaps hoarding cans and jars for art supply storage and crafts. This has been my main splurge lately.....hmmmm

2.) Washi tape is a close second or perhaps on the same coin?

3 & 4.) Are well related so that's why I choae to overlap them. Throughout my life my mom and I had the same tendency to splurge on notebooks and pens. The numerals 3 & 4 were also distinctive because yellow is my mom's fave color and purple is mine. I used Elif's word art from her kit Brother's and Sisters because I wanted to emphasize these two photos a bit more and nothing else seemed to work. There are five notebooks I bought earlier this year (1 black, 4 brown) The four brown ones I bought because they reminded me of my mom. The pens were also a relatively recent splurge (well earlier this year.) I love the sleek barrel of the Le Pen, the assorted colors and oooooh, it write like a smoot marker.
