Try It Tuesday~Telling Time with Bella Blvd. and Clear Scraps!

 Remember these "Telling Time" Flash Cards (from about 4 years ago) ~ I still think they are very cool and love to add them to projects.  I used the chipboard "Overall" piece from Clear Scraps and covered it with Bella Blvd. pattern paper, to make a door sign for a toddler's room.

The pocket holds the "time" cards~ Nap Time or Play Time.

Pattern paper~Bella Blvd./Daily Chevies & Everyday Bits

A Clipboard being a Clipboard by Clear Scraps!

Hi guys! I'm here with a project using the, new and fabulous, large Deco Portrait Clipboard by Clear Scraps.  My idea was to use it as a clipboard~decorated, of course! Great idea, right!



Instructions~
1. Using the Checker Border Stencil ~ apply to both sides of the clipboard
 with StazOn Jet Black.


2. Let the ink dry completely (don't want any smears).
3. Cut down a sheet of pattern paper (to reveal the Checker Board Border
on both sides) and clip it on the clipboard.


4. Clip ephemera and other memorabilia to the board.
5. At the bottom attach photo and die cut border.
6. Tie twine or ribbon to the metal clip.
This project is designed so you always can change it up but still enjoy the clipboard, being a clipboard, but custom decorated to your liking and taste.   Be sure to check out all of the new products by Clear Scraps. Winners, all of them !

I also got the label:) tickled silly :)
