Freelance Friday: Mod Podge Kid Clipborads
Clipboards are a great organizational tool for an adult, but how can they be kid friendly? Well here's how, use miniature clipboards and some mod podge to create this fun kids' craft. I came across this project on The Mud Pie Makers. It is so simple, and creative. These mini-clipboards are so cute for kids. In case you have not seen mini clipboards around, check out Walmart or Staples to find them. To learn how to make this project click, here.

Teaching Thursdays: Traveling Memories Frame
By: Candie Cooper - To learn more about Candie visit her blog, Candie's Journal It was my grandparents who hooked me on travel at an early age. Each summer we took a big trip for a week. We went to president's homes, museums, orchestra concerts, the zoo, Washington DC, Philly. I am so lucky to have experienced such adventures with them. I can still remember making a pit stop at a rest area and the cooler packed in the back of the trunk with Diet Coke, Dixie Cups, ice in baggies and donuts. Wonderful. Maybe you took a trip this summer? If so, I've got a special "Travel Memories" frame for you. This frame focuses around my trip to California in January. Yours can be about one trip, or special memories throughout the year. You can add as you go... This is an awesome frame because the border is actually cork, so you can tack up tickets and whimsies around the focal picture. Round up (or start saving) tickets, maps, menus, etc.... Paint the frame however you like! If you've seen my posts before, you know I love a striped border!  Add a touch of sparkle (in this case Hollywood glam) over your cork with Extreme Glitter. There are tons of Extreme Glitter colors. I used Hologram because, well, it's my favorite. Nothing says travel like a map! Cut wavy strips of your favorite streets around the area you were in and Mod Podge them along the sides of the frame. Put a picture or collage on the inside of the frame, then tack your souvenirs and ephemera around the edge. Voila', the rest is history! I think it's always a good idea to surround yourself with happy memories in your home.

Web Wednesday: Chalkboard Composition Notebook
 Our crafty Mod Podge friend Amy Anderson, shared with us this project she recently found on, Much Ado About Nothing. Cristal created this adorable and very useful back to school project. A chalkboard composition notebook. Normally when I hear the word, composition notebook, I think of an old school looking notebook. This is definitely not old school! It is so resourceful. Cristal made this back to school project for her kids. It includes very easy to find materials, including Chalkboard Paint from Plaid. It is a great back to school craft. I hope this inspires you. Click here to learn how to make this creative notebook.
