Something I NEVER thought i would do.  Never say Never!!  Years ago at a SU party that consisted of my daughter and myself and the demonstrator who was a friend of my daughters, we did this technique of pasting strips of DP down on a base and making a pattern.  It was also one of the cards in the Lovely Layered Cards class by Craftsy and i completely ignored it.  But.....i had all these cut off strips from the 6 x 6 papers in that Simon kit and i just couldn't bare to throw them away, they all coordinated so nicely, ya know!!  And voila` a collage card was born.  I actually did enjoy the process and went squeeeee  when it turned out so cute.  but....it will never be the first technique i choose.
