As you can see I've just completed yet another swap - this time for Decorated Chipboard! I was really intrigued to see how they would be decorated and what shapes people would come up with, and how they might inspire a project rather than just decorate it...
Anyway, I only had the one die that could cut through chipboard - this lovely Stampin' Up! exclusive one that I ordered with my first discount :D so I decided to decorate it a bit like a bookplate of sorts, so that it might be able to complement the SMASHBook craze - especially for those making their own books :) Of course they'll be able to use it as a normal embellishment too, a journalling spot, etc.
I used the Stampin' Up! Top Note die, Tea Stain Distress Ink (thank you Rachel!), generic chipboard, wooden dominoes from my LCS, Tim Holtz Film Reel, graph and lined paper by various companies, Prima printed tape, one of Tim Holtz' acrylic stamps for the ticket (thank you again Rachel!), Stampin' Up! permanent Snail adhesive, and Stampin' Up! kraft cardstock.
I can't wait to see what I'll get in return!

They look brilliant Leanie, so glad I'm in your group :o)
Brilliant! Great use of your die and wonderfully decorated.
I found a tiny domino on the floor of my craft room and couldnt think where it came from .... maybe one of Sarah's kits but having looked at your photo of it, I've suddenly realised that its from your chipboard bookplate ....... sooorrrry!!
Thought my spray of holly berries looked nice in the photo however!!
