    Have a look on ebay - there are some gorgeous 'tear bear' designs and the like.

    Make sure you search for Worldwide as the better designs tend to be from the USA...!

    Hope this helps.

    I read your post this lunchtime and thought; paper piecing????:confused:

    After searching on ebay I found loads of interesting stuff and I just want to say thank you for mentioning it. I thought about doing a scrapbook for my dads 60th birthday next year and creating these little details would be just perfect to add to my photos. Much better than any stickers and stuff I've seen so far.
    I've been inspired!

    Children's colouring books can be a great resource for paper piecings - just trace the designs onto card. Loads of websites have colouring pages :)
