Card Sized Collages

I started collecting anything paper years ago.  If I saw something in a magazine that caught my attention, I would rip the page out and file it.  I kept candy wrappers, pictures, printed off pics from net, wrapping papers, picked up anything (and some awesome designs)  paper from YSM, etc. etc.  Well, needless to say, I have a huge collection.  I decided a few days ago to use up some of my smaller sized "stuff" by making collages.  I just went through boxes and trays of pieces I filed into that box at random, and then added the pictures to the cards at random.  I still need to add a cohesive wash of something, and finish the edges and such, but I did get through 2, yes, I said 2 boxes of my stashes.  Every litter bit helps, as they say, lol.
This one I covered with a piece of organza with strips of solid in it.  I like the visual it gives!

This one seems to speak to fashion, and perhaps a hot bath, would you say? lol
