A DIY project with Clear Scraps!

Hi guys!!
It's my turn on the Clear Scraps Blog.  I have a DIY project to share
 along with instructions.  Clear Scraps have a line of wood products that make
home decor and DIY projects a piece of cake.

The key board was created out of scrap lumber and a vintage road map.  A little

paint and glue, a few cup hooks and some DIY products by Clear Scraps and

 your ready to go.  I used the Wood Script Word "journey" and a couple

 of the mini pallet shapes by Clear Scraps.
 Check out my full tutorial on the Clear Scraps Blog.

Family Frame with Clear Scraps~

Hi, Connie here with a fun project using the large regular Landscape Clipboard and the "Family" wood script word by Clear Scraps.  Pairing these two products makes for a cute way to showcase a vintage family photo.  I started like I would create a scrapbook page and then added the word to the page, then clipped it to the clipboard.


Any pattern paper, that you love, is great place to start building the base of the clipboard.  This is not glued or attached to the acrylic clipboard.  I wanted the option of changing out the page and creating a new page for a new event or season.  Totally your call if you want to make it permanent or not.


The wood script word "Family" is painted with acrylic paint and then the edges were sanded down for that distressed look.  Adhere the word to project base with strong wet adhesive.  I used Beacon 527.   Last thing I did was speckle the project with watered down white acrylic paint.


My focal photo was a vintage photo from 1954.  Very special to me.  Tie seam binding on the clip for an added vintage look.

Clear Scraps: Large Regular Landscape Clipboard
