I have a serious addiction to Maya Road chipboard! It’s not fancy but that’s part of the allure…I can change it into any look I wish! The best things about this chipboard is it’s weight and the darling shapes it comes in. A lot of the chipboard on the market is thin and flimsy. When you try altering it…it’s so easy to bend and buckle. Maya Road chipboard is an extremely heavy weight, sturdy chipboard.If you’ve never seen the Maya Road chipboard boxes, binders and other alterables…you are missing out. They are perfect for creating altered projects and mini-albums.
