Woodland Whimsy Clipboard

A few years back I went on a trip with two of my best friends to California. It has always been one of my favorite trips. This picture was taken with the 3 of us being silly and crammed into a photo booth. It's such a fun picture so I decided to decorate a clipboard using papers and embellishments from the Woodland Whimsy collection.
The clipboard was pretty easy to put together. I used a couple of papers, mini jewels, felt stickers and ribbon from the collection. Also I created layered flowers using the colored backs of the papers. I added some distressing to the edges of the clipboard to dirty it somewhat. It turned out to be a nice and creative way to show a picture. Also makes a good keepsake gift!

Helpful Tips on Ancestral Scrapbooking:

•KISS…Keep It Super Simple! Ancestral pages are fascinating because they tell a genuine story about a period of history that many who view your pages won’t have personal knowledge of. Let the photos and momentos tell the story without too much clutter interfering. Restrain yourself from over-doing these pages – you’ll find that by just adding a special journal entry that sets the tone for the page, the results will be impressive.

The web offers a wealth of information and resources on learning more about your family connections. Consider visiting these sites to learn more about finding ancestral information: A solid, basic site filled with information on building a family tree, and heritage scrapbooking.
