Melissa, that page is really fab, I love it. Looks like you are a 12x12 page scrapbook pro rather than that being your first one :T

Congratulations MaggieBob too.
I really enjoyed doing the scrapbook page and was a bit nervous at first, I didn't want to ruin it. Thanks for everyone's comments. I originally finished it but thought the bottom left hand corner looked a little bare, then I remembered I had the pack of little ant stickers (only 35p) so I thought they would fit in.
Rustyflange - the paper was from a designer called Karen Foster, the fern paper on the card is by her too. She does some fantastic designs for kids. I ordered the papers from here: http://www.atripdownmemorylane.co.uk/catalog/index.php?manufacturers_id=47&osCsid=7a69d3ea3c97a3477b5e1e9de77cfd3d
The stickers are about about 1.50 - 2.00 a pack, but I found a seller on ebay who's really helpful and she has a lot of Karen Foster stickers for 99p -

the stickers are really nice, they're cardstock stickers so are really easy to use.
I love the "my brave knight" range and the "outer space" papers and stickers. I spent hours looking for her products and these places seemed to have the best and cheapest selection, HTH.

congratulations polly and maggiebob. Hope you enjoy your new jobs .

brilliant scrapbook page melissa i still haven't done a full size page yet i working on some mini ones.

I had a look at the stickers on e bay they had lots of lovely ones i spent a fortune especially on princess ones for the girls scrapbooks. I'll have a look at the paper one too but not sure i dare yet.

Mary - the papers are lovely aren't they. I spent ages looking for a website that sold most of her designs, it was really hard tracking one down. Most sites don't stock any of her stuff. I love the pirate papers too, (forgot to mention those before).
Craftygranny - I thought the page would take ages to do, but it didn't. I love the princess stickers too. The seller is really helpful, I was after a few stickers that she hadn't listed and she popped them on there for me. She delivers really quickly too. What did you end up getting?
I found a few freebies to download. I love the images but I couldn't get my printer to download them. Instead I ordered a couple of cds. Here's the link:
