Altered Clip Boards

March was a month of travel and celebration, as I celebrated my 50th birthday. It was filled with lots of heart-felt fun, and thank you to everyone who wished me a happy day, and made my day great.

Still, it does feel good to be back making a big mess on my work table, getting my fingers sticky with glue, and sharing my creations with you.

Yes, I use clipboards. Nerdy, clipboards, but as you see.......mine are pretty. They are altered, vintage inspired, and blinged.  The collage surface is modge podged for a smooth, wipe-able surface.

I use clipboards to hold my papers, bills, and even scraps of paper for crafting. 

Seam binding, charms, and a key are added, and of course, vintage jewels. 

Blessings,

Hearts

Hang your heart(s), literally.

I LOVE Valentines Day, and it's only three weeks away, (I know, I know, you just took down Christmas!).

A little bit of old,  a little bit of new, Paris inspired, and a whole lot of heart makes for a banner you can hang anywhere!  

Sealed with a Kiss:)

DIY TIPS: Lately, I've had a thing for pinking sheers. Not the lightweight decorative trim scissors, but the heavy duty scissors like your grandmother used. They cut more then one paper at a time.  Also, if you want the crinkled seam binding look, I have found that it is easiest to lightly spritz with water and then scrunch it up.

I've started to add a few things to my etsy shop, so stop by.

Have a blessed week,

Ele
