Some good reading... (RAK)
I have been reading Harry Potter
. Last week, we were in Atlanta, and I was without reading material. So my friend lent me a copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcorer's Stone. I had read about 4 chapters during a CapitalOne job interview just out of B-school, and I had forgotten all about it. Now I am on book 3 and bought the rest including the pre-order of book 7. LOL! They do have a nice discount on a box set and the preorder. So I figured, why not? It is a well-written, interesting series for young adults. I particularly like how it really spears the Law of Unintended Consequences. Sometimes when you do something wrong for the right reasons, strange things happen. And sometimes when you do the right thing, the results are not what you anticipate. It has a lot of morally subtlety, and it is just a fun ride. :)
Right now things are a bit hectic. I am working like crazy on the final items for CHA Summer. We are going in some new and fun directions and it will be so much fun. But we are also going back to our roots in some ways too. It is all about keep it fresh, fun and usable. You ain't seen nothing yet!
In honor of this week's fun, I am hosting a RAK! I will send an assortment of MR items from my stash. Just post a comment with what you would love to see more of from us! You have until Wednesday midnight to write something. And my DH will pick someone...

Oh wow, that's tough to say what I'd like to see more of from you guys because you're stuff is so unique and fabulous already!
But I love stamps and can't get enough of them...so more clear stamps would totally put me over the top. :)
You totally rock the chipboard book department!! A 12x12 binder album with chipboard pages would be awesome!!
But other than that- i already {heart} all your stuff!!

more fun chipboard shapes! ooooh, and felt ribbon and flowers!
love me some HP books and movies! just read that the UK will be releasing postage stamps, too!
Since your chipboard is THE BEST...more chipboard please. I'd love to see small leaves and stems to use with all the flowers you make. Kind of a mix & match type thing.
The other thing I'd die for is a small lower case alphabet set. I'd like one inch or smaller, for small cards/books etc. I think there's a ton of projects they would be perfect for!
THANKS!!

I really love your chip board embellishments and one could always use more and more. I also think that your line of board books are the best and they are so good to work with.
Thanks,
Arleen
Chipboard .. all the way .. Some stems and leaves.
I also LOVE chipboard...would LOVE a 12 X 12 binder so I can do 12 X 12, 8.5 X 11 - landscape and regular, 8 X 8 and even as small as 6 X 6 all in one album!
Chipboard--but how about some stuff for the extreme sports--something funky and cool--I know you guys could come up with something really cool!!

Everything you guys make is so great. I don't know how you keep coming up with fresh ideas. But I'm seriously addicted to alpha stamps and chipboard and anything involving transparencies right now.

i love all your chipboard albums - maybe some more shapes like a scalloped square or circle?
I like everything you guys come up with. But chipboard is my favorite. I like the idea of more shaped books.
more different chipboard books!!! I love those!!
But really I just wanted to let you know, that when I started reading HP I read through the first 4 books like a crazy person.....like staying up till 2 a.m. reading them....seriously, I was obsessed! I'm looking forward to this summer for the last book, and hoping that I can wait till the library gets it, but I'm guessing I'll have to buy it:)
All Maya road stuff rocks so I'm sure whatever you have up your sleeves will be amazing...chipboard especially :-)

LOve all your stuff, but bigger range in like clear stamps and rub on letteswould be great.. thanks
I'd love to see: some more velvet flowers in different shapes, and some more flourishes in the sheers.
And always loving chipboard, so maybe a mixed-font alphabet collection :)
I have to agree...love your chipboards and your albums! I would love to see a 12x12 album or even an 8.5 X 11 one. I just bought the 8x8 one and I can't wait to play with that! Whatever it is that you guys end up doing I know I'll end up buying!
i would love to see some clear stamps and maybe some paper/trim with more asian/indian/other ethnic designs! oh, or maybe some fabric-paper for scrapbooking which would also be great on the chipboard pieces!!
What you have now is amazing!!! But.. if I can request, more clear stamps in more sizes please!! And maybe some 12 x 12 d ring board album that we can personalise with all your yummy chipboards and clear stamps!
I would love to see more scalloped edge chipboard albums in various sizes. They're soo yummmy!! Oh, and maybe an album shaped like a camera, TV, or even an ipod would be cute too.
lol...just finished book #6 to be ready for the 7th to come out....but I'm going to Target at 8am to get my copy...don't always trust mailman to deliver it early for me.....As for MR stuff....umm...what is my favorite....chipboard....and the books....If I could ask for more chipboard and newer unique things to alter! :) :)
I absolutely love your chipboard binders. Would love to see 8.5 x 11 regular (not-landscape)~
Thanks
definitely more different shaped mini chipboard albums...can't get enough of that stuff~!!!
I LOVE your chipboard!! I would love to see the Alphabets & Numbers in a 1/2" smaller size. Just my 2 cents. I would also love to see a retailer in Regina, Sk with a large MR selection!!! MR is hard to come by up here on the Canadian Prairies.
My first choice would be to see a paper line! I love all the prints you have on your ribbons and I think they would/could be an awesome paper line!! Secondly, I'm with EVERYONE else - CHIPBOARD! I love your chipboard items. Clever and creative!! Maybe you could come up with a chipboard picture frame line.
I would like to see some birds of chipboard, i love your chipboard!
