Tag Tuesday - recycle, reuse, repurpose

Here is my tag for Tag Tuesday. We are reusing or recycling stuff, something that I grew up doing, only we didn't know the word: recycle. It was just the way of life back in the 40s.

This tag is from materials I got out of the art room trash can, for the most part. There are a few things that I've been saving to reuse, like the stamp and the button. The flower was cut out from a magazine page. The background is a leftover piece of cardstock topped by a colorful paper napkin. Personally, I think it is rather weird looking.

  5. I think this is wonderful especially made from scraps! That's what I love about collage - it is essentially combining bits and pieces of things and reusing images. Lovely tag Faye!
