What are you using to glue it? I went to the craft store and was overwhelmed but all the different types of Mod Podge. This one is for fabric and that one is for paper..and then you need an acrylic sealer.. sheesh! I haven't even picked a paper and I am already baffled!

I wondered about that! That's what we used as kids in Girl Scouts.
