Advantus - Idea-ology - Tim Holtz - Grungeboard - Basics - Harlequin

One of the best new products in the last year

Tim Holtz is a GENIUS. If you haven't played with this yet, you must get your hands on some. The textures are awesome, and hold up through handling. You can bend it, twist it, ink the heck out of ink, get it wet, whatever you think of, and it doesn't fall apart. It's impossible to thoroughly ink intricate chipboard shapes; because this is so easy to manipulate, you can ink it all over - no more raw chipboard edges!! Plus you can die cut it just like regular chipboard. The Harlequin pattern is fun to play with - you can color the "valleys" in one color and then use another color on the "mountain" areas, for a two-toned effect. Very cool.
