THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Using techniques I have gleened from stalking Christy Tomlinson of ScarletLime and
JulieFei-Fan Balzer of Balzer Designs ...and pulling out stuff from my stash, I decorated the "tote" with paints, stamps, inks, ribbons, rub-ons....some vintage yo-yo's from my ETSY shop StudioBeeCreations, along with one of my NEW to the shop BLOOMERS!!!!
How much FUN!!!!...I also rescued a plain jane clipboard and made it feel the love of Everything ALtered, with more papers from ScarletLime...
............and the "secret weapon".....
Ya gotta loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ModPodge, and go read the fun blog of Amy Anderson...she's a HOOT!
