{Inspirations} Pretty, Pretty Tape

Ever since I was tee-tiny, I had an obsession with paper, stickers and tape. The only thing I would ask Santa for as a little girl was "paper". Well, if only I had THESE puppies back then!

I came across these while doing a little research for a giveaway (hint, hint).

Have you seen/used Japanese Masking Tape?
IDIY blog did several writeups on this magical and glorious tape. I couldn't help myself but share the eye candy and inspirations!

Remember how much I LOVE collages? (Remember my past life?) Think of the collage I could come up with using this tape!

"Big Bang" - a collage I created for Suysel! Could this have been done with tape? Doubtful but it would be a really cool effect to try!
Remember "UNITED" that I created for Ashley Whittaker Design? How about a flag out of Japanese tape!?
