I like the way the patterned sheets all have helpful grids on the back which make cutting them for any project a breeze - metric and imperial, too! Some of the papers have patterns a mite too large for cards, so are ideal for memory albums. There are some handsome tartan papers (and matching stickers) too, which are also ideal for New Year. The illustrations will need a little tweaking on the computer or photocopier before they are the right size for cards, as they are for larger crafts. Make holiday wall hangings, tree skirts, decorate cakes, and embroider table runners and hostess aprons. Whatever you like, in fact. As usual with Design Source Books you are allowed to use some of these illustrations on more than just projects for yourself, but you need to read the small print to find out more. This does not cover the papers or stickers, but when you have finished with your own crafts you probably won’t have any left over to spare! As usual, The Crafthouse Press and Search Press have come up with something special and very useful.
