I debated sharing this on my blog, because it's old, as in 2011 old. :-) I made this mini clipboard as a magazine submission, but it was not chosen, and I've long since mailed it to a friend.
I used a small sample of kitchen/bathroom countertop material that you find at your hardware store as my base, and covered it with papers and die cuts.
The shiny binder clip from Staples was soaked in saltwater for a few days until it developed this beautiful patina. I tied on a couple of ribbon and lace scraps.
The ephemera is pretty much just from ColorBok's Flea Market collection, and a few bits from K & Co.
Thanks for letting me share this oldie-but-goodie with you!
