Hi There
I use 90gsm paper. I get my paper from Morrisons - brilliant white - works a treat!!!!! Debbie |

Also use 90 grms usually get it from Tesco's or Asda quite good prices from them, or there is Staples and lots of other outlets.

Thanks Claire for asking, I too was thinking the same, I have 120gsm from Tesco but think that might be a bit thick, guess you like the CD too

Thanks ladies, I've got some 90gsm paper so i'll be able to give it a try.
The cd is gorgeous isn't it Christine, I thought i'd get some peace and quiet while the footie was on but I have a houseful of noisy lads lol. I think ear plugs are in order. Claire xx |

I love TBF and have loads of fold patterns I'm dying to try out! I use 80-90 gms , no heavier. Have used 70 gms and it worked well. As has been said, the
bright white gives a good colour. One thing though, practise with a plain large (4") square if you've never done TBF as folding and refolding printed
squares makes them messy and the ink can smear. Janet

Don't blame you Christine, I'm very tempted to have a 'sickie' but I'd feel too guilty so I'll have to show my face
 . Mind you I think I ought to take all the images I've
printed out as I really ought to spend the day planning for the craft group on Thursday
