I'm sure all of us need many boxes, drawers and other stuff to keep organized tons of materials we have been collecting over the years. For me, folders are super necessary to organize my painted papers and all the bits and pieces I save to make collages.
I painted the manila folder (jacket) with various reds and oranges, then I glued the collage sheets I did separately .

I love making tags because of the small space you work on (even these are really big). I ended up with two totally different styles as you can see and of course the colorful one is my favorite and the images are by Nancy Baumiller.
I was inspired by Christy Sobolewski to make a journal page out of collaged manila tags, (#tagology). It was a lot of fun because I love collages and making several at once in a small surface is so much easier.
