I've recently discovered that I really like making collage masterboards for my journal tags, etc. These strips make some really cool effects!

Tim Holtz's Idea-ology strips are excellent for the ephemera I add to my junk journals. They are lovely and well-made and bring a vintage look to the journals and tags I am looking for.

These are great for filling in odd spaces etc.

Collage strips are so much fun and require very little thought as they are already put together!

These strips are versatile for cards as a border, junk journals on bookmarks and shred or trim for collages. You can gesso over the top with Dina Wakley MEdia gesso - ever so lightly - for a more subtle background. These strips layer well with paper dolls or vintage floral stamps.
