Back to school… Time to buy new clothes, shoes, paper, pens and crayons, time to set the alarm clock early enough to get everyone up, dressed and fed to get them out the door in time to catch the bus. It’s time to get pictures of everyone in their first day of school outfits, getting on the bus, or while they’re packing their book bags.
But don’t forget to send your kids back to school in “scrappin” style. With all the bright and fun patterned paper that you can buy, your child will be the hit of the class. Send them to school with their decorated notebooks or pens, or altered book bag to match their altered lunch box. And don’t forget the teachers, start now on Christmas presents and alter a clipboard for all their important paperwork.

Design note:
I cut all of the stars from patterned
paper and used 3-D dots to lift them. I
sanded and inked all the edges of the
composition book. And I used a razor to
distress the edges of the cardstock coupon
words and then inked them. I used a red pen
and drew lines to give the edges more
definition.

Design Note:
My first ever altered item was a clipboard and it won a prize right off the
bat! A few years later, I decided to make
each of my son's preschool teachers and
director a personalized clipboard. They were
thrilled at the present, something pretty,
but something they could - and promised,
would! - actually use. This photograph was
taken before the ribbon was added, but it's
an easy and fun gift for any occasion!
