Paper cutting, I'm obsessed

First let me say these are not great photos. I love blogging, but the photo taking part is not my favorite part. LOL I simply don't have time to wait for the right light, blah blah blah.

I made Dave a paper cut squirrel Valentine this year, and I knew I loved paper cutting right then. It's hard to find good templates though, so I didn't spend much time doing it.

A week or so ago I rediscovered a blog with templates, Scherenschnitte , and I have been cutting non-stop ever since. (All of the paper cuts here are from her free templates).
The colors on this photo are just plain bad, but I love the pink cowboy and his cowgirl on the green flowers.
The bicyclist reminds me of Dorothy and Toto.
This was a pre-cut piece of paper I bought at Archivers last year, I just cut it into a heart shape.
A mama hen and her chicks.
And my absolute, to die for favorite, toadstools! I mounted this one on a fancy piece of round paper.

I think part of what I like about this craft is the combining of the patterns on the papers. But I am seriously struggling with finding good papers. I need more solids and papers with tiny, tiny patterns. I've tried both Archivers and Michaels with no real success. Any suggestions?
