July Challenge #1

This is such a GREAT month!  I was so fortunate to win a Blog Hop by Scrapbooking From the Inside Out and I chose the current kit, July - Independence for my "PRIZE".   It has so many papers that are in my comfort zone but SO many that AREN'T.   Big jump. 
This weeks challenge in relation to Independence is to create a layout reflecting your relationship to money.  So many wonderful prompts and leaping off points to go with this.  I'm actually looking forward to sitting down and journaling about my "relationship" with money.  (or lack of most of the time!) 

One part of the challenge was to incorporate a change purse/purse image into the layout.  Hey the paper had purses printed on it...Not good enough for me.  So I searched for a change purse template on the internet and found one at Split Coast Stampers.  I printed and created my change purse with papers in the kit, the bling and scraps I started creating from the kit.

I really like the lyrics to Annie Lennox's song "Money Can't Buy It" from her album Totally Diva. 
"Money Can't Buy It... baby.... Sex Can't Buy it... baby,   Drugs Can't Buy it.....baby... You Can't Buy it.. baby..  I believe that love alone might do these things for you... I believe in love alone yeah, yeah."  

Yeah yeah, you better stay tuned.  There's more coming from this months Inspiration from SBFTIO and I'm really loving the theme INDEPENDENCE!
