Happy Hop Day Everyone!

Today Joy's Life is bringing you a Teacher's Blog Hop- the DT has some amazing creations for you to check out that could just be your end of the year teacher's gift! If you came here from Patty's blog, then you are on the right track. If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop, please click HERE. Don't worry, I have the line up for you at the end of this post as well :)

I thought it would be a cute idea to create a clipboard for my Nephew's teacher-and yes, Margie, I will have 4 additional made for the other teacher's too, before you ask lol :) I had the chance to play with the "Thank you for helping me Bloom & Grow" stamp found in the Tag You're It #2 Set of stamps by Joy's Life. The entire set is super cute! Here is my clipboard:


Another simple and affordable project to duplicate for those special Teacher's out there.  I ran into such a bargain at Michaels and found these clipboards 9"x6" for just .19!  At the time I purchased them I didn't know what I was going to do but how can you pass it up?  I used patterned paper by Momenta and along with some 3-d stickers and adhesive Pearls.  I cut plain white paper 4" x 4 1/4" so the Teacher's may use to jot down little notes.  I also added a ribbon to the clip and distressed the edges in pink for the final touch.  I think I see more clipboard gifts to create in the near future-what do you think?


Well, we can't have a blog hop without a giveaway right?  So........leave a comment and share your favorite teacher gift idea, become a follower (only if you want to).  One lucky random winner will win a plain clipboard and a few goodies to create their very own!  Please do so by Sunday, 04/22 at midnight and I will announce the winner Monday afternoon-ish :)
Here is the line up of the hop:


Your next stop is Stacey's blog-happy hoppin'!!!!!

  39. Great and useful idea Sarita!! I love that you covered it with paper first to give it some character. The pearls, flowers and 3d stickers are just perfect. Not overloaded and I am sure any teacher would love to have this!! Great job - Already a follower! My first thought of a teacher gift was an "award" for their patience and compassion but after seeing this, the clipboard would be something they can use! msmith38652@gmail.com

  41. This is so cute and a great gift idea. I have stamped notepads before for teacher's gifts. I like how your pad of paper doesn't cover up the embellishments. I am a follower.
