Step 2 I had to do a little cut out on the top of the board with the coordinating paper. I needed all the paper to overlap to the back of the clipboard so i could tuck it under the back panel of paper. I also had to miter the corners.
Step 3 Start the decorating. I distressed/aged the outside of the clipboard. I used strips of paper ribbon to decorate...glitter glue. I took the plain white flowers and tinted and dyed and the flowers up and then threw them in the microwave to dry them out. I then tried to flatten the flowers out some and layered them and put them together with brads.
Step 4 I pile more on with the great pear stencil and embossing paste! I tinted the paste just a little then used colored glitter to add the leaf color and shimmer to the pear.
Step 5 Adding a little ribbon to the top that has rosettes. Just made it perfect!
Happy creating!

I never knew you could "miter" paper corners, but now that you mention it, it does make sense!

Kristi,
I love it!!! :) I have a pile of composition books (notebooks) and a few clip boards that I plan to alter to give my nieces & nephews (for back-to-school; yes, as usual, I am a tad bit late-only good thing is that I haven't seen them yet, because I live 6 hours away). But I've been wondering, what kind of adhesive do you use to glue down the main paper (as the base)?
Thanks so much,
Jennifer
