GM 32 A Little 12 Tags Review

Challenge on Grungy Monday #32 is A Little 12 Tags Review, sponsored by Simon Says Stamp!
It is about Your Favorite New Technique From 12 Tags 2011.

Added tissuepaper, salvage stickers (lost and found) boy with dog and number 7, grungeboard swirl, game spinner, crackle accents on the 7.
