I did a search on Marvel here & found some licensed character stuff. I also know there are a lot of game-related things here. What kinds of things did she do?

not so much star wars/super hero type stuff.....more cartoon hangover/adventure time related........sigh I knew I wouldn't really find anything related to that but I thought I might be able to find some pp that was kinda comic book related and maybe some bow pam type stickers..........grrrrrrrrrrrr

Close to My Heart had a line about two years ago? Maybe one? With lots of great comic themed without being IN YOUR FACE, KWIM? Joey is going to ComicCon Philadelphia next week or the following weekend. I forget. He goes every year. Michael's has some great stickers of Comic stuff, too. Go check it out there. I wish I could pass some paper thru the internet to you. Someday we will be able to. lol

I like doing paper piecing when I can't find what I want. I find a clip art or a coloring page and print it out the size I want and then cut out the pieces of the graphic in the colors I want them and then piece them back together like a puzzle. For instance, I didn't have a embellishment of Tigger eating, so I just made one myself!

Hope this helps!

Yeah, that's what I was going to say - I wouldn't expect them (or JoAnn's) to have anything - *maybe* Michael's but maybe not. And yes, the CTMH ones were awesome!! You might still be able to find some on eBay. Karen Foster had a fun medieval line but I don't know about comics. (We go to GenCon every year which is a gaming con - lots of costumes there too! So I'm quite familiar w/that style of scrappy stuff....)

What about using a transfer technique and printing something from the internet and transferring it onto your pages?

Go onto e-bay and do a search for Marvel Scrapbook Paper. There I found a few. Did not see what shipping or prices were. BUT a place to start.

I went to Hobby Lobby today and made my 1st purchase it was under $`3,00 and $9 of it was a FORD tactile Sign to put away for DH birthday. I could have spent a fortune but, Kept myself out of t e scrappy area for that reason. BUT, I got some FOrd Stickers and a nativity sticker set. ( I collect nativities and had to buy them when I see them.)

Carrie, you are welcome. I also did a Google Search, there are some there too. Once you Google search it then look at the images too.

There was some washi that looked like comics . . . I got some made by Scotch at Staples and have seen some at Target.

I know ACOT had some; will keep looking for you.

You could also use stars and polka dots.
