"recycled" tickets

the current challenge (#25) at the cheerful stamp pad is "let's reuse."  the idea is to recycle something for your creation.  that should be easy.  what mixed media artist doesn't save everything in sight and then re-use it in interesting ways?  & the juicy prize for this challenge will be some acrylic coasters from clear scraps. very cool possibilities!

so i had a big plan for my DT creation that involved re-using something i had saved and stashed awaiting the right opportunity.  well guess what?  i couldn't find that special baggie full of the goodies i had in mind.  i looked everywhere.  what can i say, my organizational scheme is clearly not the best.  i'm not going to tell you what it was since one day when i least expect it i'll find it and then i'll make something great! 

but here's what else happened.  while searching around i kept coming across old tickets.  i've got no explanation why i've got so many of them laying around.  in fact, i have so many raffle tickets saved (it does say "keep this coupon" on the back...) that i could have made a collage with nothing but those.  but instead i mixed it up with museum tickets, concert tickets, movie tickets, boat ride tickets and the omnipresent raffle tickets.  i like the effect of this collage and now i have a reason to save future tickets, yes?

i picked an image of a lady who looks like she clearly enjoys going out and having a good time (remember the line in the charlie's angels movie where cameron diaz says "i love tickets!"?).  this fine lady was a free download i picked up from art freebies.  i have just a few simple embellishments as well.

enjoy, and please consider joining the challenge.  
love to all.
