If you have a TK Maxx near you, they have things like writing sets in with the books in the homeware section. I picked up some gorgeous notecards earlier. You might have to root a bit for the gems, but it's worth it if you find something really nice (and it's less than the RRP). {thumb2} Good luck.

Another idea it to buy a cheap stencil and trace it up one side of your letter will add some flair. You can color in the pattern what you've traced. It'll look cool.
Thanks Jenn! {thumb2} That would be great if you could pm some files to me. I'm not very creative at all myself :lol:

If you can't find anything, and you have a printer, you could print your own at home. Just access free online printable stationary templates.

Like these: http://www.1-computer-stationery.com/pr ... onery.html

If there is nothing there you like, you can search the net to see what else there is out there.

You can use this as a last resort, if you wish. :)

Staples is the best shop in Britain for stationary. Try them.

Check out Etsy.com to. millions of people sell crafts there, and their are TONS of notecards, and stationary that are really nice, and a lot of people do costum stuff, so you can design it yourself! :)

I know exactly what you mean! I have so much trouble finding nice sets. I think there not sold anymore as people dont tend to write letters anymore. Not with mobiles & emails.
I found a good seller on ebay who sells stationery & lovely paper. I bought some cute Hello Kitty ones. You can also request any image you like to appear on the paper & they will print it up.

Going back to what Lil 1 said too. I try to decorate my own, i buy cute stickers from accesorize & write with coloured pens.

Hehe, I understand where your coming from! :lol:
I sometimes get the same problem... Its so hard sometimes! :?

Recently, Instead of spending many weeks trying to find such lovely paper, I have just been buying plain, and decorating the paper, in my own way! ;-)

I love being creative, and it makes it a whole lot better and more personal if you decorate it yourself, and also write the letter personally, instead of having a template... :roll:
I always get the feeling I have more of a chance of the celeb replying if I am creative and personal. {thumb2}

If you dont like this idea, try looking in local art stores, Im not sure where you are based, but anywhere in barnet/finchley/enfield have many varieties of art stors and there are usually many sets in art shops like that! :lol:

On the other hand, I see your thinking about ASDA. I go to ASDA quite a lot, and the only thing I have found is some very good stationary, and on the odd occasion, Lightly coloured paper, but I guess its worth a shot! {love}


Hope this helps, {up}
-Lil1- :razz:
Hey I really love your idea and I bet your letters look great {love} Unfortunately I'm about as artistic as a caterpillar walking through paint :lol:
Theres nothing wrong with trying is there? :lol:
If you never try, you never succeed... :neutral:

Oh and yes, the 'WORKS' do many lovely sets! I'd go look in there too... {thumb2}

Good luck, Im sure you will find something! :mrgreen:
