Decorating the backs really completes the piece ❤

It's funny how that works, isn't it? That sense of completion is so satisfying. Thanks for watching!

How simple yet how elevating to the back of cards and tags. You could stamp or stencil with a light distress ink all over the back and still write over it. Thanks for sharing this idea. Love your videos.❤❤❤

Anne: Do you ever use items you got from the trash? Julie sits mesmerized by the video as she cuts apart food packaging boxes so she can use the cardboard later. 😜 Excellent video! I am very inspired and am going to be more mindful of the backs of my tags and cards. Thank you! ❤❤❤

Julie, I pull stuff out of my trash to craft with ALL THE TIME!!!! In fact, that's how I got started junk journaling during the early pandemic days - lockdown for us! - best place to shop for craft supplies was my own recycling bin! Hugs to you, my friend!

Thank you Anne. I wanted to label our bins on the back shelf in our camper. I was thinking of using this style tag, but wanted to decorate it some how so not such a boring label. My mind is going wild. I'll have fun tomorrow for sure. Blessings 🤗🌹

Thank you so much! I'm big on labeling things myself - I know yours will be super!

Oh how funny - this rarely occurs but when it does I love it. That piece of music paper made me look twice and the melody looked familiar and then I double checked and sure enough, it's from third movement of Beethoven's 3rd symphony (aka, Eroica). Great piece! And the fact that the notes are a bit smaller makes it perfect for collage.

Judy, I salute you for your discerning eye and keen musical knowledge! I do have several books of small-print classical music collections and Beethoven is one! I hadn't kept track of the source, but I marvel at your ability to spot a classic piece! Thanks so much for watching! 🎼🎶🎵🎹❤️
