Hope Clothespin and Clipboard Alterables
Posted by Becca Feeken on Friday, August 22nd, 2008
I have a quick post this evening - I hope you’re already having a wonderful weekend!! I {heart} these little clipboards and standing clothes pins. When Our Daily Bread Designs released their three new sets of stamps and introduced the Hope Pack, I knew that I wanted to cover these alterables with the pink survivor paper. The pair is designed to match with this project that I made earlier — Here.
I simply painted all the wood with a coat or two of gesso then glued the paper down to the wood and sanded up the edges so that they were even. A quick addition of some embellishments, and I was done. All in all, it was a quick project.
Supplies:
Stamp: Our Daily Bread Designs
Paper: Available through Our Daily Bread Designs
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink - Rouge
Accessories: White Gesso, White Glue, Foam Brush, Sand Paper, Ribbon, Prima Flowers, Pearl Brad, Mini Clipboard and Clothespin - AC Moore
Just a note, I spent quite a bit of time today tidying up the behind the scenes part of my blog. I’m a little bit better at it now than I was six months ago when I got started. I now have a system of storing pictures on my server - initially they were everywhere. So, if you encounter a red x, just hit refresh and your browser will pick up the new location. I’ve tested everything out and shouldn’t have any orphans, but I sure moved a lot of stuff around in the back while organizing. Whew, now if I could just manage to do that with my crafts! I’m hoping to get some crafting done this weekend - I have my eye on trying out a couple of cool sketches that are floating around right now. Okay, off to do a little more blog tweaking…finally.

Hi Becca! I want to know how you get that paper so neatly around the clip on the clipboard. I have several of these and every time I think of doing one I get stuck on that issue. Thanks so much!

Good evening, Becca. This is a beautiful project. It amazes me how often you can think “outside the box”.
How could this be any more YUMMY! All of that pink is just great! Congrats for the shout out at Card of the Week.
Beautiful - It is shouting the thought of hope for sure!!
Becca, I am so enamored by your creations! These are just stunning!
Another stunning creation Becca, the colours on this are so fresh and pretty, absolutely gorgeous!
Hi Becca,
Love this!! Have you heard of Chemo angels? It is a wonderful organization that pairs chemo patients with people that send them cards etc.every week. I am currently paired up with a wonderful lady in MO and I was just thinking that I need to try and make a pink ribbon card for her. I have been busy setting up a blog please check it out

my cards aren’t anywhere in the same league as yours but I’m making so many at once for my fundraiser that I can’t spend hours on each one. Please share my site with anyone you wish.
hugs

Oh Becca - this is so nice. I have a friend who lost both breasts years ago to cancer, and now she’s suffering with bone cancer. I need to get some of that paper. I’ve got a couple of friends who are chemo angels & I’m sure that they’d love it!
Thanks always for the inspiration that you share.
Hugs,
Joani
