Don't know if you have an asda near you, the big one we use has started stocking craft materials. They do sheets of peel offs/occassions/borders/corners etc for 65p a sheet. They also stock rubber stamps and card toppers and a whole load of other stuff. If you are doing layering and matting and need patterned backing papers, try the internet, I typed in free backing papers and came up with a good supply, you just choose the ones you want and print, same with the lettering. I put a piece of coloured card/paper into the printer and type my own messages and inserts or if you your publisher, just stick the card in and print the message direectly inside. make you own hand made by logo for the back and they can look very proffessional. Don't know if you have The Works" book shop near you, they do packs of 50 cards and envelopes for £7.99 or 2 packs for £9.99.

Happy creating :woot:

we didnt do the scrapbooking as we were so worried about loulou throwing up al over our hard work!!
We did however make a card for the lady next door who is in the process of giving birth... see the resizing photos thread for my attempt....
