Recently we needed to come up with a gift for Campbell's teacher. Something that would be useful, and not too flowery and frilly. A nice, useful, masculine gift for the teacher. After a bit of thought we decided to decorate a clipboard, and this is what we came up with:
We decided to go with an owl theme - decorating the back with one wise owl on a branch (chipboard from the So Tweet On Board Pack, covered with card, and papers from the Good Morning Sunshine DSP pack) and lots of eager little owls awaiting instruction covering both sides of the clipboard (another sheet of paper from the Good Morning Sunshine pack). We personalised it using letters made with the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies from the Autumn/Winter mini catalogue, and then finished it off with some strips of coordinating card (pacific point, kiwi kiss) and some ribbon. Several coats of modge podge help to seal and protect it all.
Campbell was really pleased with his gift, and the teacher was most appreciative. Best of all it was a relatively quick and easy project, and inexpensive too. Perfect for mass production!
The kiwi kiss cardstock, Good Morning Sunshine DSP, On Board So Tweet, Kiwi Kiss ribbon, and Pacific Point Ribbon used in this project are all on the 'last chance list'. Available only until 31 August, or while stocks last.
