I think I shared that I had been getting into making little collages recently - maybe I shared the first one I made, with the letter M on it?
Lately, I've been making wedding-themed collages because I have some little decorative cutouts with a wedding theme. I didn't design these cutouts; I just use them in my collage designs, along with bits of torn paper, stickers, pictures cut from magazines and catalogues, and little decorative craft items like the little stars you see.
The larger collages are about the size of a business card, so still quite small, and the smaller one is about 2 inches on each side. In the picture above, the blue collage on the left and the small one on the bottom are finished, while the other two are still in progress.
I like collaging because it is a nice way to recycle paper and other items and to use up various odds and ends. It's nice to create something artistic and pretty instead of throwing things away!

Thank you! The cameo in the upper left corner got accidentally stuck on in a slightly different spot than I wanted, but looks like it worked out okay!

Thank you! I have accumulated way too many craft supplies over the years, and I am in my phase of trying to use stuff up!

@AliCanary You're very welcome. I gave a lot of my craft supplies away to the Salvation Army.
