When working on Junk journals, I use a lot of tags inside of the pockets and Tucks so today, I decided to post all of the tags that I handmade yesterday.  I made all of these just from scrap pieces of Manila file folders that you can find anywhere.  I bought mine at the Dollar General a couple months back to make junk journals with and now i'm using what is leftover for Tags.
