Allotments 4 All

Hello.  I've made up an album of photographs for my friend's 50th birthday and I thought it would be nice to decorate the pages with suitable shiny stickers of balloons, cakes, presents, champagne bottles etc.  I probably need about 100, each about one inch square.  Does anyone have any to spare please or can you recommend a good site?  I'm happy to swap for a variety of seeds or to send a book of stamps to reimburse.

Prink13 might beable to help as she is really into it.  I do too but just have my xmas stuff which i will be using.

Hi G, I might have a few card making things but not sure if I have what you're looking for, I need to go and check my card making box. Will get back to you.

Also thought I'd mention that I admin another forum where there are some members who do scrapbooking and card making who might be able to help. Please feel to register and post a wanted ad in the appropriate section. Hope Dan doesn't mind me posting a link to the forum. http://thepottingshed.myfreeforum.org/index.php

Hi G, i'll have a look in my card making box of goodies.

Out of interest, ebay can be quite good for crafting stuff, some 'die cuts' might be just what you need?

I'll let you know either way if i can help, x

Thanks Leonnie and Kitten.  I've tried Googling but as this sort of thing is not usually my line I've not had much luck.  And I have no idea what 'dye cuts' are.   :-[  Thanks also the the link Leonnie, I've saved it to my favourites.  But wouldn't it be a bit cheeky for my first post to be a wanted ad?

Hi G, 'die cuts' are basically cut out shapes usually in cardboard, and they come in millions of diff shapes & colours etc. You could search ebay for 'champagne' die cuts or whatever shape you're after x

Edit: just searched on die cuts in ebay:

You mean I'd then have to 'be artistic' and colour 'em in?  No way, I was chucked out of art class!   ;D

here we are, this is what they look like  ;D

The best place I have found for peel off stickers is www.imag-e-nation.co.uk - brilliant prices (peel offs from 44p) and free p&p on all UK orders, must confess I spend far more than I should there !  I have a load of celebration confetti - even some champagne bottles and glasses, if you would like me to pop some in the post PM me your address.

Who would have thought there were so many of us that combine papercrafts and growing veg - I love both but find the dirty hands wrecks white card !! :-)

Oooh that looks a nice website.  I have had a quick look and found lots that I would like, will pop back later when I have more time....  Thank you for posting that. :) :)

Thank you everyone for your replies so far.   :)  I've said yes to Helen's and Manics' kind offers and will take a look at the website too.  If I end up with more than I need I'll offer them on here since there seems to be an interest.
