Who loves chipboard?!

And I don't mean the albums! I'm talking chipboard alphas and flowers and swirls (oh my!).

If you're looking for a fun way to add dimension to your sweet keepsakes, come on over to the Hawt Mama Team Blog (http://tracireed.com/teamblog/?p=450) and see what I've cooked up for you! :)

But I only have a few chipboard letters.
Do you have any good ideas of where I can get some cheapy chipboard shapes and alphas?

Joann's usually has some sort of big a$$ chipboard sets. I bought one about a year ago and still haven't even come close to using everything in it. Naturally, I can't seem to find it online.

And Cosmo Cricket has great ones, but they are much bigger.
Alpha buttons (http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat2642&PRODID=prd59174&source=search) and button shapes (http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat2642&PRODID=prd59175&source=search).

Really great Col. I have done this with larger letters for my SIL's baby shower. I don't have them or I would take a pic but they turned out so cute. I hung them from a string and used tiny clothespins to hang the letters. Since we did NOT know what she was having I just did the letters BABY

Mandy, go to the LSS and bring in some of your own chipboard and use their accu-cut machine and cut your own. Buy a few pieces of cardstock and cut a few shapes of cardstock so that you are doing it legit but make some out of chipboard while you are there! ;)

I think I have bought every shape, letter, swirl, out there at one time or another! I use chipboard on almost every traditional page I do!

great idea Col!!!! I saw some cute care chipboard at my LSS - I think that will be my next purchase there :)

I picked up a package of hearts, stars, flowers, etc. from A.C. Moore last night from Memory Makers- 3.99 for 39 shapes with multiple pieces. :)

For alphas, Joann Fabrics has a basic chipboard alpha from their own line, simple and cheap! :)

I'm addicted to chipboard. LOL

Mandy, an Accu-cut is a Heavy Duty Die Cut machine. A lot of the LSS's have them to make and sell die cuts. Also if they have a crop room they 'advertise' that as one of the things you can use while you crop there. They usually have some cool shapes. When I was in TX at a crop I got the Disney castle, some cowboy boots, and a scalloped square that I cut out of chipboard.
