Left over chip board part 2

I was asked a great question about the blog from yesterday. What if I don't order that particular chip board and I have a lot of different size and shape holes? I have done another scrapbook page with a different chip board set and I hope that this helps with your question.

This is chipboard that I bought at Christmas from SU!'s Mini catty. It has different shapes so I will illustrate this one for you.

Remove all the chipboard...Cover the chip board scraps with paper of choice, I used SU! Bold Bright, Real Red to coordinate with the East Coast Prep Designer Series paper I used yesterday.Notice that I did not use all shapes, only the ones that I needed...And here you have it. I added a few matted pictures, rub-ons, journaling and chip board (at the top, sorry for the glare-reads, friends). I like it. Hope that this inspires you to go "GREEN" and use that chip board peice that you would normally throw away. Contact me if you need assistance or would like to order some chip board products from SU!. The 25% off special with the purchase of $35.00 or more will only last two more weeks.

Have a blessed day.

What to do with left over Chip Board

I thought of the coolest thing today, although, I am sure that I am not the first to think of it, but here goes...the chip board is all the rage right now and Stampin' Up! just happens to have a promo going on. So I thought I would give you another idea how to use it. Ok Scrappers, are you ready...check this out

This is how the scraps of the chip board look when you have taken all the peices out of it...Now I have a frame, well actually, nine frames for prom pictures...here is how I made the page.Glued the Designer paper of choice onto the chip board. I used East Coast Prep on page 168. Turn it over and make an X in the box using my craft knife and mat.

Cut away the extra paper and trim around the edges so that there is no over hang around the outside...

Turn it over and add pictures. I also added some rub on's on some of the pictures since there was not a lot of room for writing.

Now, there were many mistakes made, so may I please make a few suggestions? On this project use the SNAIL adhesive...the glue was a mess and tore my paper when I turned it over to place pictures in it...the glue got on the table, thus, sticking to the paper. Cut all the way to the corners on the squares or the paper will tear when you fold them back.

Looking forward to seeing how yours turns out...pls email me your page and I will feature it on this blog.

Garage Sale Treasure

This weekend my buddy and I had a garage sale at her house. She gave me some picture frames that had not yet sold, this is what I did with them.

With a little chip board, patterned paper, stamp set, and four eyelets, you have this. This is a gift that someone will win tonight at my workshop. Let me know what you think.
