Hey David....The backing is wat I bought at Walley-World in their craft area.  Its a wat I call fancy different colors with whierd patterns that reflect light on a slick stick that has a peel off back where you can stick it wherever.  This is just a temporary experiment as most people just use a black backer.  Danny

I absolutely love the colored backers.  I'm headed for walmart this morning to buy some.  As far as pricing, I need more information.  How big are the pieces, do you make your frames, are they glassed in,what kind of wood are you using, how much time is invested????  It sounds like a pretty big show.  Have you attended before or just looked around?

Hey Danny,  Just got back from wally world - no luck.  What is the paper usually used for?  Is it with the scrapbook supplies or is it used for something else?  I'll try Hobby lobby or Michaels if I know what department to look in.

You might try Michaels or Joanns, for the colored paper. Someone in my club used rainbow colored paper, behind a cross and it looked great.
