MCT ~ Thrifty Thursday

Good morning! Today is Thrifty Thursday over at My Creative Time with Emma and the design team! This is when we use up our scraps, left overs or use a recycled item. Well as I have said before I have a ton so scraps and I try my hardest to look there first before I pull out on full sheet of paper.
So with all that said I found these adorable milk cartons at Michael's on clearance! You get 9 per package and for $2.09. Bargain! You not only get the cartons but a wrap, a sticker and they already has adhesive to assemble. Well I decided I wasn't going to use the sticker because I have all these AMAZING stamps and dies from My Creative Time. So I pulled out my Bunch of Fun Circles Dies and the stamp set, Trick or Treat. I thought these would super simple and fast to reproduce. Best part I was able to create 39 little containers using scraps! Yes ~ I have that many scrap pieces of paper that I was able to do them all! Sad right? Anyway, for all of my son's teachers , past and present, I used the Stitched Fun Ticket Dies and Just Tag to personalize theirs. For the kids, we can't do that ~ so it went pretty fast! Oh my little clothespins are also Recollections and on clearance and those were only .59 or .89 cents for 8. Best part is they coordinate with the milk cartons! So not only did I use scraps but I thought I was pretty thrifty money wise, plus tons of time saved! Just stuffed these with loads of candy and done!
