Scrapbook Pages w/ChipBoard

One of my "old" scrapbook pages. Old meaning early 2008.

I realize that isn't a very good picture -- something about all the gold and the glare and shadow. So, here are a couple detail shots of the chip board embellishments.

On this particular spread, I had painted the chip board pieces, leaving the paint rather thick to give them added dimension. Then I added micro beads to some with that super sticky red tape (that stuff is amazing) and in some I strung wire with beads or just coiled the wire up. There is so much that can be done with chip board that I never tired of using it.

Using favorite embellishment...

Back in the day when I used to scrap book a lot, chip board was my all time favorite embellishment. I almost never use it on cards. Yesterday, I decided to drag out my chip board stash and see if there was anything there I could interpret onto a card. Here's what I came up with:

The design would have been improved, I do believe, if I would have had a bigger star to use at the top of the card, but I was determined to use only what was in the stash.
