It has become such a staple for my scrapbooking that
I truly cannot remember life before chipboard. Really.
I cannot even recall my pre-chip scrap life.

However, I have now accumulated a bit too much
and I'm always looking for new things to do with it
and I'm always looking for new things to do with it
to use it up (so I can buy more, of course!).
One of my favorite new things to do with chipboard
is a technique that I like to call "Chipboard Piecing".
Here's the Challenge:
Get out your chippy stash and figure out a way to use your chipboard
to make something other than what it was originally intended for.
In my example below, I used a tin full of Maya Road Chipboard Scrolls
to create the tree. I cut some of the swirly parts off to make the trunk

and then used several of the scrolls to create the leaves.
I did not use them just as scrolls.
In other words, don't use a heart as a heart or a star as a star.

You have to get creative an see what other stuff is hiding
in your chipboard shapes.

i used an oval for the fish body, a flourish for the tail, and some flower centers for the eye and bubbles.
Love all the layouts by DTs. The tribute to Aleida is so beautiful. Here is mine. I had never used this technique before. It was fun! I pieced together a ladybug. Trimmed and inked a raw leaf for the body, added a red heart marked with dots, then trimmed and inked a smaller leaf into a half circle shape for the head part.
