This week, my One Word Journey is leading me down Memory Lane. I’m taking a metaphorical trip into the past.
To artistically commemorate the occasion, I created this Vintage Collage Tag. I had fun digging through my old stash looking for the perfect pieces to incorporate into the design. As always, everything on it is symbolic, including the:
- Skeleton Leaf
- Background Words
- Washi Tape
- Photo
- Music
- Lace
- Fibers
- Clock
- Looking Glass
- Photo
- Displaced Crown
- Colors
- Message
The process of creating is so cathartic.
Many of you know Donna from Donna’s Designs. I was blessed this week by a beautiful package of goodies from her!
One of my greatest joys is finding new Challenge Sites to stimulate my creativity! This week I’m sharing my work at:
- Emergency Crafters – New Years Resolution (all stash is over 1 year old!)
- Frilly And Funkie Challenge Blog – Follow Your Muse
- Ladybug Crafts – Anything Goes!
- Inspiration & Challenge Blog #7 – Something Old (all products are old!)
- Simon Says Stamp And Show – Lace Love
Time for a visit to Legend The Boxer! He’s sure to put a smile on your face at my not-so Wordless Wednesday!
I also wanted to recommend The Kickstarter Handbook to you. This book describes an amazing website where creative people have the potential to obtain funding for projects of all types! If you have the right idea and a little initiative, knowing about this website could literally change your life! A truly inspiring concept!
Ok, it’s time to go desk hopping! Have a fabulous week, dear friends!

great looking tag! Legend looks like he is in love with that box…so cute. Both my cats love boxes to the point I have to sneak them all out to get rid of them. Have a great week. Vickie #43
How funny! We always have to check ours before tossing to make sure there isn’t a kitty or a kitty toy in them!
gorgeous tag!

Lovely tag, but no desk shot? Mo messy collaboration of stuff? lol ♥ waving hi from the soggy laden hills of North Carolina 🙂
I got so immersed in the project I forgot to take the desk shot until afterwards!
Great tag..not till you list the ingredients that I realise how much we’re all putting into and onto our art!

Hi found you on Thirsty Thursday – I’ll be back to check out more of your work.
Awesome – delighted to meet you!
What a lovely creation! Will you keep and use it yourself or will you gift it to someone else?
Visiting from the GYB link up party and loving your “We’re All Creative” statement…so true! 🙂
Thank you so much Marty! I will probably keep this one for possible incorporation into a journal page as I created it while reflecting on my One Word “Journey” theme.
So glad you visited – hope to see you again soon! 🙂
Love your tag!!
Sorry I am a day late. Fighting the nasty flu.
