Tigzem...I use paper over 100gsm ...If you use normal copy paper which is about 80gsm its too thin and rips very easy
I only use Paint to colour in the templates..Pick the colour up with the dropper you like then switch the the paint bucket

Im waiting for hubby to treat me to paint shop pro and lessons on using it

Furrypig - sometimes I can't believe the differences in prices between here and the USA - its not fair!!!! Some of the shops that I found were selling it for 2.75 a sheet!!!!! I'm trying not to spend this week too, I'm trying to figure out how much money I'll need to take on Friday.
Saveapenny - you definately deserve 30 quid for yours!!! They look so professional. I doubt that there was over 15 nappies in the one that I saw for 13, and that was all there was to it, no teddy or anything!

Mines got 60 nappies 2 fleece balnkets and a full matching bid,baby grow, body shout and hat as well as all the bit...probably cost about £20 to make

My sister loves gingerbreadmen and cooking so I made this cardhttp://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z134/colourcue/my%20creations/P1010042.jpg
