Sally's Chipboard Challenge .......

As I mentioned in my last post, I've never really explored the many possibilities that exist when playing with chipboard - and I still haven't - but I do intend to, bet you can't guess how?

Well, at the moment it is so easy ...... I just took advantage of this month's offer of a whopping 25% discount on all the chipboard that SU offers, both current and retired ( while retired stock lasts ! ) - it's a fantastic saving that allows you to make loads of embellishments for your cards and scrapbook pages - I'll just mention that I'm really getting into the cute 6 x 6 scrapbook page size - I'll soon be ready to show you what I've been doing with this but I haven't quite finished yet!


So for now, I will show you my 'take' on the challenge that Sally set for her downline when she posted some of her chipboard elements to us to play with - it was so much easier than I thought to make my own embellishments and being able to match them perfectly to my papers was so great - if you notice I even managed to cover the teeny tiny chipboard dots with little flowers using the paper from the Sweet Always range of designer papers - ta-dahhhhh ..... my very own unique brads.


Thank you for stopping by - Bridgette
