I am linking up with Tara again over at 4th Grade Frolics. I have really enjoyed these Monday Made It's and have so much inspiration from them!
This week I wanted to use scrapbook paper and Mod Podge to make these famous clipboards! My clipboards were that ugly ole' brown with kids names and a even a gun (yikes!) drawn on one. Now, they look MUCH better! I didn't put any ribbon on them because these are for student use only and I could just see them unraveling all my ribbon! First up: girly clipboards.
Then some more gender neutral:
And then some clipboards for the boys!
We also finished one of my favorite home projects ever! I got the idea from Shannon at Bless Our Nest. I put stickers on a canvas and then let my son paint over them.
I tried to just let him paint and not direct so it would totally be HIS art!
After the paint had time to dry, I pulled off the stickers and TADA! It has many imperfections, but I am still loving it!
Ok Lana, your sons painting just made me cry!!! Seriously! So precious!!! Love that idea!!! What a treasure!!! It just took my breath away! The clipboards....amazing!! I love that you made girl, boy, and gender neutral..lol!!!! I only have a few but lookin like I may been to be making some more!!! Thanks for linking up friend!

I just HAD to tell you that the painting is PRECIOUS. It came out beautifully. I feel like when kids do artwork it may not be as perfect as we know we could make it, but that's what makes it so amazing and genuine :) What a great poster to have for years and years.
