Altered Clipboard for Teacher Appreciation

I can't believe I haven't done one of these sooner...it was so easy and very inexpensive!  My daughter's 4th grade teacher is a very nice man and has really done any amazing job with her this year.  Kaitlyn is a very good student but tends to get distracted from time-to-time (which is normal for 10).  Her teacher was always encouraging and positive.  Plus, this year Kaitlyn finally tested into the Gifted Program at ther school!

I got the clipboard and note pad from the Dollar Store.  I painted the entire clipboard with black craft paint.  I covered most of the front with a piece of cardstock from DCWV Grade School printed cardstock.  Then I added some stickers from Me and My Big Idea.  Lastly I attached some red ribbon to the top and clipped on the note pad.

I know most of the altered clipboards I have seen had tons of ribbon tied to the top...I didn't want to do that since I think ribbon is girly and her teacher is a man.

Here's a look at the back:

I attached a green piece of cardstock to the back.  I cut all the letters out from Plantin SchoolBook with the except of the "A+" which I cut from Locker Talk and the "thank you" came from Beyond Birthdays.  Once I attached them to the board I applied Glossy Accent to them.
