[B]Step 4:
Sand edges of paper and chipboard from the front to the back of the board. If you sand towards the side the paper is on, the paper will peel off.
Sand til edge is smooth.

Alternatives:

You can also paint chipboard, and ink it to get different effects.

Painting chipboard -- what paints do you recommend??

I agree -- you should write a book, I'd definitely buy a copy!

I also like using chip board shapes & letters.:cool1: No matter what the colour theme you have you can always make them match with painting , glitter or glueing matching paper on them to get the correct match to what ever you are doing. :banana:
I have also found them very easy to use :banana:

Probably the MM scrapbook paints. If it's not touching photos acrylic paint should be fine too.

it's really similar to Allene's Tacky Glue, I just squeeze it out of the bottle unto the board and spread it with my finger or a paint brush.
