Furrypig - I'll post a link on the uk scrappers forum for that too, as I haven't noticed any on offer myself.

Melissa I'm trying to find the page showing your scrapbook on the other thread, you don't happen to know which page it's on do you please?

Furrypig - I've just asked on the forum. I've found this stockist so far that has some for 1.23:

is this what you were after?? I'll keep having a look to see what else I can find.
Flourgirl - here's a link, its near the bottom of the page. If you look on the next page there's a picture of a matching box that I did to go with it.

Thank-you Melissa, it's really gorgeous, the colours in the photographs and the papers match so well. You seem to have an eye for co-ordination, clever you:T :T :T

I brought my basic grey stuff from Do Craft it was quite cheap but PP was high lots are still in the sale http://www.docrafts.co.uk/asp/products/?p=797&brand=0&b2c=1

Flourgirl - thanks, its so easy with those 12x12 paper packs - everything matches perfectly.
Saveapenny - I ordered twice from docrafts - both times it was just the basic grey stuff that I ordered. I agree postage is a big steep, but the sale prices were great. Trouble is they have added a few more basic grey bits to the sale and I am trying not to order again.

Furrypig - I've had a few replies about the KI cardstock. The cheapest so far has been the shop I found before. The prices seem to range here from 1.75 - 2.20! Here's a link to the forum if you want to keep any eye on the replies.

There's some really cheap bazzill cardstock here:

only 16p a sheet, trouble is they only have it in 8 colours at this price. They do have a couple of sheets of cheap basic grey stuff as well though.

Fabulous cards everyone, especially like the WTP one Bunbun. Haven't been around much this week as been decorating DS1 bedroom, whilst he was in France for the week. Have managed to make these 2 cards today though for birthday's next week. The Chelsea one is for DS1 and has most of the team names on and have added his surname to it - wonder if he will notice, and the second is for my childminders son, who is mad on cards.

Thanks to saveapenny for the jag decoupage, and for putting a link to wordle on a previous post, as this is what I used for the Chelsea card.





Really liked the decoupage effect of the Jag, as it is the first time I have done it. Big thanks to my OH for cutting them all out!
