Summer Gathering Series | Part 4 | Writing Boards

Welcome back to the Summer Gatherings Series! ☀️🌿 This week we're giving old Reader's Digest hardcovers a brand-new purpose by transforming them into vintage-inspired writing boards—perfect for adding a little stability to soft or highly embellished Journey Journals, or simply using on their own as a miniature clipboard for notes, lists, and quiet moments of reflection. Together we'll paint, layer, distress, and decorate two "sister" boards, each with its own personality, proving that even the most unexpected materials can become something both beautiful and useful. If you've been gathering with me throughout this series, thank you for pulling up a chair each week. And if this is your very first visit, welcome! I'm so glad you've found your way to my cozy little corner. 🌿 *Summer Gatherings Series* Part 1 | Anchored Background 🔗    • Little Grace | June Reflections & Mixed Media   Part 2 | Cluster Dangles 🔗    • Summer Gatherings Series | Part 2 | Cluste...   Part 3 | Envelope Folios 🔗    • Summer Gatherings Series | Part 3 | Envelo...   Part 4 | Grunged Hardcover - *You Are Here!* ☕ *Summer Blossomings Freebie* The butterflies, bees, and words used in today's project came from this month's Gathered Bits & Pieces freebie. 🌸 Download it here: 🔗 https://ko-fi.com/s/008cbe794e ✨ Supplies Used • Reader's Digest hardcovers • Acrylic paint • Book pages & napkin/tissue paper • Distress Ink • Botanical die cuts • Matte Mod Podge • Removable binder clip • Summer Blossomings ephemera Thank you so much for spending a little creative time with me today.
