I went to Michael's and got some dollars stamps for the first time last Friday. I also picked up some really cute ribbon (called Bobbin Ribbon) for 99 cents! Here is my first submission for this challenge:
I just gone done making some cards. I CASED them fromt the gallery. I did not realize until I was done that I had used $1 store stuff on the majority of the card. The "hello" stamp, flower stamp and white cord are all $1.
I finally made my way to the Dollar Store and found this metal container and silk flowers for a secret sister 4th of July arrangement. I had hoped to cover the entire base up with stamped card stock, but it is too hard to get the cardstock to lay flat. So I solved it with small stamped rectangles. I am going to add sparklers to the arrangement when the local fireworks stand opens. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I found a very more treasures now to find the time to stamp. Deb
Here's another one, I found a broken photo holder made of wire stars, which was marked down for a quarter. It had only one broken stem, but what a bargain for the Dollar Store. I also picked up a pack of 5 wooden spools to use for the base. I am going to bust up the rest of the photo holder and make gifts for some good friends. Only headache was getting the cardstock to stay around the spool, so I laced some cord through some eyelets. I also used wide packing tape to laminate the small cutouts so they would stay in place.
So now its decorated and photographed, once without a card Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
and one holding a card. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

The dollar store challenge is officially over! I had my husband pick a number between 1 and 47 and he picked #19....so congratulations Pinky!! A gifty will be on its way to you very soon!
although the prize part of the challenge is over please continue to use your creativity and wow us with your dollar store creations and link them here!
I actually have some cuter ones that I just haven't scanned yet. I bought it yesterday while I was out running around with my kiddos...I wasn't even thinking about the challenge.
Here's a great little gift - Purse calendar from Dollar Tree. Just take out the insert and attach your stamped images directly to the calendar. (Dayspring brand calendars).
I was just looking through the challenges from the past weeks and found this one. I thought it would be fun to try. I picked up the flower stamp and the fun fur at the dollar tree. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I was so excited when I somehow found this thread, I didn't realize it was started last year! LOL Better late than never right! I LOVE the $ stores and this is one of the many things I have found: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I made ATCs with this dollar stamp (the shoe) for a convention in Monroeville, PA. I had several left over and last night, I made this card mounting the ATC on a card front. Just in time for this challenge!
