Dollar-a-Page Guideline

The Dollar-A-Page rule is a great guideline for when to purchase, when to pass up the latest "gotta have" product.

To cut down on the urge to buy every new product or tool in the scrap store, apply the Dollar-A-Page rule of thumb: for every dollar the product costs, you must use the product on one layout.

For example, are you dying to buy a Sizzix dragonfly die-cut for $14? Apply the rule and buy the die-cut only if you'll use the dragonfly on at least 14 layouts. Pass it up if you can imagine doing only one or two dragonfly layouts over time.
