Thanks for that. It's something I want to have a go at, just need to find where to get mounting board from

I know its not the most MSE place but hobbycraft sell mounting board

Thank-you Dragonllew, we have a picture framing shop about 6 miles away I thought I might try that. I almost went past it this morning when I went to the library if I had known I would have called in, never mind, next time.

Flourgirl...do you have a staples near by...They sell very thick card which hubby uses to mount his pictures on woudl something like that work?

There was a craft site posted that had A4 sheets of mount board quite cheaply but my brains gone...it will come to me ( I hope)

This wasnt it but ebay have http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/%22Cheap-as-Chips%22-5-x-A4-sheets-of-Lightweight-Chipboard_W0QQitemZ350139512322QQcmdZViewItem

I think something like that would be ok as you have to cut it into squares (12 I think) it really doesn't want to be too thick. Will have to have a look at the weekend.

I had a nice suprise this morning, the papers and ribbons I ordered from A card 4 U last night, arrived this morning by courier. I call that excellent service, one of the papers was out of stock so they had even stuck 15p to the invoice. The p&p was £1.99 but on the box it said £2.65, I only spent £7 odd honestly don't know how they do it.
