{five minute friday} Dry Erase Memo Board

• Scrapbook papers: Sweet Mint, Dotted Blossoms, Lovely Lace, and black polka dots from the Home + Made Pebbles paper pack
• Round gold Home + Made stickers
• Gold metal Home + Made label
• 8×10 picture frame
• Paper cutter or scissors
• Double sided tape or glue
• Sharpie
• Screwdriver
• Dry erase marker

I used my paper cutter to cut the polka dot paper to fit inside the frame {though scissors would work just as well}.

Then I cut 7 rectangles from a variety of double-sided aqua scrapbook papers from the Home + Made collection. I cut one 6.5″ x 1.75″ rectangle, and six 3″ x 1.75″ rectangles. I placed the rectangles on the table next to the background paper to decide on the arrangement I liked best, then I applied two strips of double-sided tape to the back of each rectangle and stuck them to the background paper.

I placed the paper into the picture frame, behind the glass, and then replaced the back of the frame.

Glass works perfectly with dry erase markers, but I decided to test out the gold stickers to see if they might also work with a dry erase marker, and sure enough they do! How cool! So I stuck seven gold stickers to the glass, one at the top right corner of each rectangle {note that the paper is below the glass, and the stickers on top of the glass}.

Next, I opened a package of  gold metal labels, and wrote on the included papers. I plan to use this dry erase memo board for making grocery lists, but it would also work well as a calendar or a to do list, so I went ahead and also wrote out labels for these potential future uses.

I then used a screw driver to quickly attach the a metal label to the top center of the picture frame.

I really love the way this calendar looks sitting next to my countertop mail filing system, so I think a second dry erase memo board will be in my near future!
