In case you can't tell, I'm still in recycle mode. Bits of decades old wallpaper, combined with vintage sheet music (1936) are added to what I'm calling the "off cuts" from a used file folder after I cut it to make index sized cards. I keep asking myself why buy index cards when I can use these used file folders. 
Today I'm joining Valerie and her team of tag makers at Tag Tuesday with this tag I 
Since Valerie's theme is Anything Goes, I decided to make a mixed media hodge podge tag.
Wallpaper, rubber stamps, 
vintage sheet music, 
and two pieces I picked up off my floor, were sewn together using variegated thread.For this tag, I began with a piece of leftover used file folder. To that I sewed a vintage piece of wallpaper, vintage sheet music, as well as a circle and a square I found under my chair on the floor. I sewed it all together using variegated thread. Then I used two rubber stamps and filled in the areas in between the sewing. I'm thankful that Valerie gave us the opportunity to chose our theme for this tag. It was actually lots of fun. I'm also thankful you chose to stop by today. I guess we all had a lot of cake and party hats yesterday, so it's great you are back today. I also hope to see you at Tag Tuesday.

That's great idea for a tag, a bit of everything, great way to use up scraps. Tags are always a great way to use up small pieces or try out new ideas. Hope you enjoyed your big day yesterday. Thanks for joining us at Tag Tuesday, much appreciated! Take care, Valerie
I love the smallest things, like your off-cut file folder with old wall paper and sheet music. I think that is perfect as is, so attractive in its simplicity. 😊
Great Tag collage ~ and a nice recycle wallpaper. Enjoy your day!
Wonderful tag! I like sheet music and stitching in nearly any paper project. Well done.
I love this Elizabeth, it's fabulous! X
There is a lot to see in this fabulous tag. I love how you add the stitching, it seems to connect all the pieces together.
Stay safe,

Lovely! The vintage wallpaper and music are wonderful items to've had on-hand :)
I love your tag Elizabeth
Well, of course you know I love Paris, so of course I love the tag! It's very nice with the music.
Very nicely done. Makes me want to sing in French. LOL
You're right. If you have file folders use them. This tag is amazing. Very cool stamp I especially like the vintage wallpaper bit. It adds such great texture and vintage style. Hugs-Erika

Your Paris pages are beautiful. I just had my French lesson last night, we do it through Zoom nowadays.

What a beautiful tag - love the old papers and of course, the sewing and the Eiffel Tower!!! Oh! We should have been in Paris for Tony's birthday but we just watched a documentary DVD about it instead! Hugs, Chrisx
This is so pretty Elizabeth! I enjoyed my trip to Paris a few years ago and am not sorry I waited in line for two hours to go up the Eiffel Tower - the view was spectacular!
That's a lovely vintage collage - hodge podge if you like... you say potato! The stitching detail is delightful, and I love the musical Eiffel Tower and the romance of the pink flowery papers in the background. Everyone seems to have file folders but me... not sure why that is, but yes, if they're there, why not use them?!
