MIXED MEDIA MONDAY - Write On/ Wipe Off Board

My mixed media project this week is not associated to one of the things on my sidebar list but a project I just had to try. I love when I find something on the internet I can actually incorporate into my life - as opposed to ''someday".

While cruising Pinterest I found this cool little write on/ wipe off board for keeping track of daily activities. The original PIN came from HERE.  Their collage frame has 8 spots. The one I found only had 6 but that's okay. I didn't need any more than that. Working 6 days a week is enough for me :-D

Prices on these collage frames varied drastically in price. The ones at Hobby Lobby were over $30! I found this one at Michaels for $9 and had a 50% coupon. $4.50 was a good price. They also come in either black or white. I chose the white so the blue mats would pop while the frame itself sort of blended into the cabinet door where I hung it.

Here's what it looked like before I started:

I flipped it over and turned the little locks to remove the back boards and the pictures... using the pictures as a template. 

I could have hung it horizontal or vertical and it would have served the same purpose. I chose to hang it horizontal so I could hang it on the door of my overhead cabinet that holds my printer paper.  I used SU Baja Blue cardstock with Pacific Point ink to stamp the days of the week from the Classic Alphabet.

Under each day of the week I have listed my blogs and what I need to post on each one on any given day. If any of my scheduled post routine changes, I can wipe it away and write in the new! As you'll see in the first photo, Saturday is still open. It is my hope that Saturdays will be the day I scheduled as many posts ahead of time as I can for the coming week. I just haven't figured out how many 'scheduled posts' blogger will let me get away with ;-)


I'm still not to a point where I can do Teapot Tuesday cards. Hopefully only a couple more weeks. But I'll be back Wednesday with a WOYWW post. I love cruising the other blogs and seeing how other creative people have their spaces organized (or not organized) and what they are working on.

Creative Blessings!
Kelly

  3. Hi Kelly
    I had to come and find you after you left such a lovely comment on my blog. Love you memo board idea but how do you cope with all those blogs. One keeps me busy and that's been cut down as I wasn't crafting enough!!!
    Hope you have a great week and keep warm and safe in those storms.
    Hugs Lisax

    1. HI Lisa!
      Well, I'm off to a slow start with them this year but it's getting better. I actually keep a 5x7 ring binder for my Blog To Do List. It's really helping me book guests on my author and music blog.

      I have multiple blogs as 'multiple resumes' for the different areas of freelance I do.
