I absolutely love these chalks! They blend together so well. They really pop on a page, staying true and bright forever. I've had mine for 2 years now, and I've used them on countless layouts. They chalks are tough enough that they don't break easily when you use them....unless you let little kids get into them. My friend's 3 and 5 year old little boys got into her chalks, used them as body paint and eyeshadow, and ground what was leftover into the carpet! LOL. Anyway, this is a great product that every scrapper should have- just keep them away from your kids :)
