Monday Made It: Clipboards & Painting

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!

  19. 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.
