    Melissa I was going to colour some images, but then decided to sit and watch TV with OH instead (this was last night) but I now have a replenished stock ;)
    someone does a paper that is adhesive and looks almost like lace it comes on a roll, whilst I was out I found some, but they only had rolls of black or pink and I want white! lol

    I have found some in the states ... HERE
    Can't find any in the UK :( the search continues!

    Any good? Paper ribbon k&co
    You need to scroll down - doodlebug do some as well - Artymiss have it in a pack but it's £8.50 Ouch!
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    I am losing the will to live!! I spent ages looking on ebay for paper ribbon I searched loads of different things and could only find it in the us .... I just searched for k&co smitten, and found some paper ribbon, then I searched again for paper ribbon and amazingly I have now found loads ... I wish ebay would stop playing with their searches!!! greedy pigs!

    Craftygranny thankyou for the link, yes thats the stuff :)

    Hello, I just wanted to join in as I make cards and was asking on a different board yesterday!

    I like 'Let's Make Cards' magazine, which is £8, but has enough to make at least 10 cards, which I then sell for £1 each to family and friends. I have my second craft fair next weekend (I paint as well) so I've been making more of my infamous cupcake cards for that!

    i wanted to post photos of a couple of things I've been working on, but i'm too new :(

    i'm trying to work through the 300-odd pages here, and it's just taking a while, lol
