Daily Planner Clipboard

Getting Organized with Rubbernecker Stamps!



I don't know about you, but I make lots of lists in planners but don't open them up enough. So, I decided to try something else! The clipboard is pre-printed. I think I got them at Target, but I'm not positive. The daily planner is computer generated using Microsoft Word. stamping details and close-up photos are below.



I used Stampin' Up's new In-color pool party cardstock. I didn't glue it down, but the ribbon keeps it pretty much in place. I did this so it would be easy to change season to season or month by month, etc. I used pool party ink to stamp Rubbernecker's (496_03) - Wildflowers. On the GP white cardstock, I used SU cherry cobler and new In-Colors pool party & lucky limeade. The flower flourish (530_15) is gorgeous, isn't it? The tiny flowers and sprinkles are from the Create a Garden set 2 (513).

Recycling: A Fruit Jar to a Button Jar


Splitcoast Ways to Use It Challenge: Recycling

Instead of making a card, I used a small fruit jar and turned it into a button jar.




These peaches are made and distributed by CVS Pharmacy. Yup, a pharmacy. I don't like canned fruit and it's the syrup I need. Why, you ask? I take a bunch of meds (mostly non-coated generics) everyday and when my ulcers are bothering me, they make me nauseous and sometimes even sick. I have found that the syrup coats them enough to make it easier on me.


Recipe

Rubbernecker Stamps: Flourish Flower (530_15), sentiment (582_04)
Paper: SU whisper white, old olive, cherry cobbler
Ink: SU old olive & cherry cobbler
Tools: SU circle punch, Spellbinders Nestabilities scallop circle dies
Accessories: SU burgundy ribbon

Hearts Theme Matching Game


I really enjoyed today's Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge: Patina's. This is my second project for the challenge. I worked on and off all day on this matching game which was inspired by the candy matching game below. I didn't have enough candy stamps from one company, so I ran with the candy hearts idea and made a "Hearts" matching game.

Here's the finished project. I used a small flavored instant coffee tin to hold the pieces. I covered it with SU rose red designer series paper (retired). I also used SU white taffeta ribbon and Creative Memories heart maker. The rest of the details are listed below. I also have more photos to show closer up images of the game pieces.


TOOLS: SU circle punch, Marvy Mega scallop punch
INK: SU and Copic markers, Memento black
Cardstock: GKD white, SU melon mambo

Teacher Clipboard


I can't start the new school year with out a new clipboard! Although I've been back to work for a few days last week, today is the first day with kiddies. I'm always unable to sleep the night before the first day, but this is harder. I've had a bad migraine for 2 days, I'm at a new school and DS is nervous about going to high school... neither one of us was able to sleep much. But the 1st day adrenaline will keep us going. It's the after school part of the day that will be hard. We will both probably crash with exhaustion! LOL!

This clipboard was made with retired Creative Memories patterned paper and a retired Stampin' Up Simply Scrappin' kit. I think it may have been called "At Home".

(PS... the note I used to cover up my name is really true. :) )
