    You can paper piece digis as well - just make sure you make them all the same size and then cut the different bits out - it's how I did the flowers and leaves on the flower pot easel on my blog.

    Candy here and she will be posting freebies all month to celebrate - so make sure you follow her so you don't miss any :c)

    Thanks Padster I was going great until you wrote those immortal words 'cutting out'

    Runaway Wifey, :eek: you're not safe with scissors, they'll have no arms or legs left if you're left to cut out a digi.
    :whistle: Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning the devil says, "OH CARP, SHE'S UP"! :whistle:

    Can anyone tell me where is the best place to buy grosgrain (sp) ribbons? I used to use Poppicrafts as they used to sell grab bags with all different colours in which is the sort of thing I am after..

    Have you tried Crafty Ribbons?? The postage is free if you use the word Candle when checking out. They have a sale on at the moment as well.
