Page Remake: Celebrate!

Another remake of a page from my US scrapbook.  The original unfinished page had these five pictures cut in small circle shapes and arranged in a larger circle.  I had a celebration theme in mind since we were at a party celebrating Cesar successfully defending his Ph.D. dissertation, Arlene's birthday (Oct. 27) and my own birthday (Nov. 17).  I kept the original theme and put each picture on individual tags which are actually recycled.  They're real tags from purchased items... mostly clothes, and I still do have a lot of tags to recycle.  I covered them with patterned paper scraps and embellished them ribbons, twine, eyelets, and tags.  Hand cut letters for the title and used an assortment of stamps to fill in the space between the tags and the title.  Inked all the edges with the same white ink I stamped with.

PS.  After I took this picture of what I thought was the finished page at the time, I decided to write journaling around each picture in black ink (Stabilo).

Supplies:  Kraft (So Fun), ink (Craft Smart & Fancy Ink Box), eyelets and charms (All About Scrapbooking), rubber stamps (All Night Media, Hampton Art, Scrappy Cat), clear stamps (All About Scrapbooking, American Crafts, Creative Imaginations, Hampton Art, Imaginisce, Inkadinkado, Making Memories, Megilo, Pink Paislee, Studio G).  Others - recycled tags, patterned paper scraps, ribbons, twine.
