Hi all,

I thought I would share this tip with other mini artists.  Some of you may already do this - not sure, but I've just discovered that scrapbooking papers make excellent backdrops for photos of minis!  I've always used pieces of felt for the backdrops which has been fine, but can look a little fuzzy.  Scrapbook paper is fantastic and creates a seemless background and you can have plain or patterned, there is such a variety of papers out there!

Thns - Aren't they great? From a rice paper effect to teeny tiny Laura Ashley-like prints. They sure help evoke a mood or a period for your bears!

Thanks for sharing. I'd been thinking of this but as always the thought just went and fluttered back out  ! Good reminder.

:clap: wow.. that's a nice tip. Never thought of it... i went out of my way to get really big poster papers when scrapbook papers are definitely better.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't think to use scrapbook papers, I've always just used plain old printer paper. Will have to give it a go! Thanks

Great post. For the UK girls Wilkinson's had some lovely papers/card in and less than £2 a pack for lots of colours.
