For my husband's 30th birthday I really wanted something special. But as it seems to to have gone in the last year, all of those special holidays and birthdays come and go with us being relatively "penniless" SO the trick is to create something personal with a heartfelt message using things I already have. Now I realize that these kinds of things are really not up my husband's alley but it makes me feel like I have at least given him something for his special day. Using a CD tin I used different papers from Basic Grey's Scarlet' Letter line, some self adhesive rhinestones, a sharpie marker and an adhesive that is near impossible to remove. The back side is covered with 30 different things I love about my special man.
The bottom stamped image is from FontWerks. I used Staz-On ink for all of my stamping. The red metal embellishments are from my local scrap shoppe. Inside the tin I glued another smaller tin. This mini tin contains an accordion scrapbook. My birthday message is written directly on the tin using a fine tip Sharpie marker.I want to use this mini as an opportunity to consciously remember to take photographs of my hubby and
I together. On a recent hunt for these type of pictures I found next to none! How awful! LOL On the opposite side I placed a pic of me. The background papers are once again from BG's Scarlet Letter.
I have this thing with altering clipboards.
I love the makeover like change that results and the way it becomes a piece of wall art. This particular one I made as a special baby gift for my Secret Sister (a prayer group from church.)
All of the paper is so very boyish and all supplies with the exception of the ribbon is form Sandylion. If you look close at the paper you will see that the stamps are actually repeated in the paper's pattern.
I think my fave part of this clipboard is the stamped car on the clip itself. Anyways the next clipboard project is one for my favorite niece and nephew!
