Birthday Clip Board

This was made for yesterday's Ways to Use it Challenge. The challenge was to make something using wood. I am trying to only make things that I will put to use. So I looked around and found an unused case of clipboards in my cabinet. I decided to make one. Then I thought "What am I going to make it for?" I thought they would be nice guest gifts for my 8 yr old's birthday party tomorrow. (Only a month late, life is busy!) So then I had to get out 5 more for all the boys coming.I decided to stamp right on the wood to keep the western look. The paper is the Soft Sky Print paper stamped over with Sanded in Close to Cocoa. The scallops were made with the corner rounder. It is cover over (all but the ribbon) with Mod Podge. I hope the boys like them!

Baby cards

I was informed yesterday that my son's band teacher's wife went into labor yesterday. They were not sure if it was a boy or girl yet. I was asked to make a card for all the home-school band student to sign. So I did one of each.
