Well, I was over at Paper Craft Planet and saw this week's 3d challenge was to make a paperclip board. How could I resist a challenge like that?
I managed to get my grubby little hands on Cardboard Passion by Lara's Digi World:
The board
was made using an empty cereal box covered in paper from the bundle. I added a pocket
which was one of the papers from the kit printed on cardstock and placed
diagonally on the base. The
flowers were made using my Sizzix/Tim Holtz tattered florals die (I printed two of the
kit papers out on cardstock and used those).
I added the lace but the green border is from the kit.
The bulldog clip was
covered in one of the kit papers and a ribbon added. The flowers and paperclips were attached to the board using brads from my stash.
I've actually
started using this already. As you can see, I clipped the board to a filing tray on one of
the shelves on my desk using the bulldog clip, so it is nice and handy. I reckon it will be really useful as I am
always jotting things down on scraps of paper or post it notes so this is ideal
for keeping them all together!
Why don't you have a go at making one of these yourself? It was really quick and easy, the hardest part was having the patience to wait for the glue to dry!
The kit is lovely to work with and I am already planning a birthday card with some of the papers so watch this space!
Happy scrapping!
