| Sometimes you have the perfect chipboard letter, but the color is all wrong, or it doesn't match with your project.  The neat thing about chipboard is that you can usually peel off the top layer.  Here's what you'll end up with:  Then you can ink/paint/paper/bling your letters to work with your project.  |

| 1. Doesn't this ALSO give you double the letters? 2. It will also mean less weight on the page and thus in the album overall! What a GREAT idea Carla! TY. |

I use PaintShopPro, and that's one of the options for frames. |
