hels - brilliant page - so bright and cheery! I really like the winnie-the-pooh image in the top right corner! Was it plain cardstock you were after - like the bazill?
Saucy - welcome back - how are the baby scrapbooks coming on?

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to share my nearly finished front page of a paperbag scrapbook I am hoping to finish off in time for fathers day! I need to add some writing on the front but need to decide which font I prefer before doing so. I also need to find some kind of ribbon which will work through the holes? any suggestions?

Thats just the front page .... I hope the pages inside turn out half as good.

I need to add the words "Your favourite little people" as that is what my dad calls my kiddlies... have 4 new fonts so just need to decide which I prefer for the writing.

Thankyou x

Rusty -that looks brilliant...........what did you use to colour the images ?
Know not a lot about fonts so can't help you there
Ribbon -you could intertwine very thin pink and blue ribbon or stick to fairly neutral and have a pale sort of coffee colour. Just my thought anyway

I used DS's pencil crayons I don't have any fancy pens ... oh no wait I bought some off ebay about an hour ago for £4.99 buy it now but I have just been using his crayons thankyou very much.

I have a box full of ribbons so I will have a look and see what I can find.
Thankyou

Rusty - must delve into my boxes of stuff and see if I've got any crayons- I've had some lovely images sent to me and was tempted to try my water colours on them but maybe play safe and start with crayons...........:o
