What’s special about this project is that it is alterable! If you journal on strips of removable paper tape, once your goals are complete, you can peel them off and switch update them with a new list!

Using ideas and inspiration from Art Journal Workshop (5QP-BKARTJN), I created a list of a few things I want to do this summer. I’m not much of a journaler so instead of working in a book, I put a unique twist on this journal-inspired project by creating something that can be artfully display out in the open to motivate me every day to reach my goals.

Start by painting a plain clipboard with blue acrylic paint (5EC-01202). Once the blue coat has dried, use a large foam brush to paint and distress over the blue with raspberry acrylic paint (5EC-01022). After the purple has dried, paint five long lines horizontally and one small line at the top center with white acrylic paint (5EC-01009). When the white paint has dried, you can begin stamping the numbers!
Using StazOn ink (5TS-BLACK), an acrylic block (5CLR-AMKIT1), and 7gypies stamps Numero (5SG-17920) and Label It (5SG-17602 - DISCONTINUED), stamp the shapes and numbers onto the left side of each of the five lines. Journal your goals onto a piece of light yellow paper tape (5SG-17838) then adhere the journaling tape to each of the lines. Write “Summer 2011” on a piece of peach colored paper tape (5SG-17838) and attach it to the white line that is at the top center of the clipboard.

Alter the clip by covering it with the measuring paper tape (5SG-17842 - DISCONTINUED) and then paint over it with watered-down purple paint (5EC-01022). Attach a piece of honeydew scrappers floss (5KF-SSHONEY) to the clip and a piece of midnight scrappers floss (5KF-SSNITE) toward the bottom of the board.
