Fabulousness!
@metlodyt kindly suggested I post my handmade cards here! 
First, here are a bunch of ridiculous collages that I’ve made from old magazines. I scanned them and used some of the images to make sturdier prints that are less likely to jam a mail processing machine than the originals. 
I have also made some cards with pen, colored pencil, and very “toothy” cardstock:
US-7018833
US-7046033
And just today, I received a very sweet Hurray! message from the recipient of US-7135541, who collects US landmarks, and her son, who collects guinea pigs. I had a lot of fun drawing the Statue of Pigerty:

All of the pharmaceutical ads in US magazines (I’m not sure if they’re common elsewhere) make for excellent collages; I guess I find them inherently hilarious…? The models are always unnervingly happy.
I want to know where everyone gets their collage supplies! I know there are “scrap packs” and “junk journal” kits you can buy. I was just lucky to have a bunch of old magazines and a pair of scissors.

Those ads (and commercials) really surprised me when I was in the US. they’re illegal here. Which I thought was a good thing until you showed me that they are a comedic goldmine 
The unnervingly happy people remind me of this video [WARNING! it is a very uncomfortable watch! (but also pretty great, and completely fictional)]
I buy second hand books and cut them to pieces 
I used to feel a bit bad about it. Seemed almost like sacrilege to cut a book. But now I figure I’m just sharing the illustrations with more people, freeing them from the confines of the books.

I’m lucky enough to have this place in town:

It’s kind of like a cross between a craft hoarders basement and the best of a garage sale. Need 58 corks, a pound of fabric scraps, some old 35 mm slides and old art books? No problem!!
