Collage, decoupage, scrapbooking

I'm curious if there are any other collage artists out there. Crafts of all sorts are interesting to me. One I especially like is making art out of found images. I guess the most accurate term for what I do is decoupage, but I also do standard collage, and although I don't have the patience to keep up with it, a limited amount of scrapbooking.
If anyone is into this, I'd love to learn more about how you find materials and what your process is like.
I'm also interested in learning how people might incorporate fine art with collage -- either manually or using computer software. I love to doodle and might want to experiment with dropping in found images, or working them into my designs somehow.
I've done some collage. I am also very interested in making art out of "found" objects. An area of art I would like to explore more deeply is "eco-art."
I don't really like using computers for fine art, even with collage. It doesn't look good unless you have a good printer (unless, of course, the entire thing is just something to post on the internet.)
I use old magazines, handmade paper, plants, fabric, anything that I think will fit, really.
