Altered Project: To Do Clipboard (Simple Stories Vintage Bliss)


Today I'm sharing the last guest design project I did for My Creative Scrapbook, an altered clipboard.

Target has some really cute chipboard clipboards (try saying that fives times fast) in their Dollar Spot right now. This one was adorable on its own with its black background and all-over text design but I just had to change it up a bit.



I covered the clipboard with polka dot paper and created a pocket using a 4x6 journaling card. I machine stitched the pocket to the clipboard to make it more durable. Other than that, I added in a couple of embellishments, a sticker title and then tucked my to do list and some coupons into the pocket. I'm thinking this is definitely going to make my shopping trips a lot more fun!

    Very cute project, Lisa! I like that the "coupons' are the top. Such a cheerful piece to see as you head out the door for errands.
