Scrapbook Paper?
« on: March 27, 2012, 01:43:08 PM »
Ladies & Gentleponies!

So for the past year I've been restoring my childhood dollhouse. Things have been going alright until it hit this giant snag.

You see it's time to fix the kitchen and it's dirty and ripped wallpaper, but I love the wallpaper in this room. I can't just replace it with something new like I did in the other rooms. It's literally my favorite part of the house...Turns out when my mom made this for me originally back in the 90s she used scrapbook paper for the wallpaper. To locate this stuff I've tried everything from searching in local shops to going through every page in the ebay search to see if anyone is selling it. No luck.

So since our members are inclined to be on the crafty side I thought I'd try my luck to see if any of you scrapbookers might have any of this stockpiled someplace.

Here's what it looks like...

Obviously I'd be happy to pay you if you have any to spare. I have feedback here and on ebay. If you have any clue where I might find it please add any and all suggestions -- thanks guys!

oh, i cant wait to see, i just adore doll houses xD my mom and I made one once entirely out of cardboard covered in paper mache, i know that sounds really cheap, but this was a HUGE dollhouse and very sturdy, the walls were about 4pieces thick, had stairs, 3 floors and everything, it was about 4ft tall/wide. wish I still had it.

Checking it out now KittyBethy.

Worse case scenario, does anyone have an clue as to whether or not I could get this professionally print? IE make more that won't bleed and ruin when the glue touches it?

I have *tons* of paper and I don't think I have this one. Maybe something similar. I'll keep my eyes open as I clean just in case.

Do you have a deadline to find it?

Perhaps you could carefully peel some off and have someone digitally make you more? That way all you have to do is print it off and you can even get special paper to print it on. :3
