My Whiteboard

I have already told you that I love Pinterest and can waste, er spend, many hours there looking at all the beautiful pins.  One of the times I was looking I saw a great idea to use a photo frame as a whiteboard.  Now I don’t know about you but I have reached the age when I need a shopping list.  I set off to the supermarket to get a few items and when I get there I have completely forgotten what I wanted, so I buy other things I probably don’t need and arrive home and immediately remember what it was I wanted.  So I decided to make a whiteboard from a photoframe to hang inside my pantry.  I can duly note down what I need  when I run out and transfer the items to a shopping list before setting out.

I bought my frame at one of our local discount stores (Sam’s I think) for $10.00.  Its a good size as it holds a full sheet of A4, with plenty of room for me to keep my shopping list.

I decorated a sheet of Very Vanilla A4 card using Crumb Cake ink.  Firstly I inked up the “E” sized clear block and stamped that a few times, then I inked up the En Francaise Background stamp using the same ink, again stamping several times.  Lastly I used the swirly image from the Everything Eleanor stamp set.

I stamped the flower images from the Everything Eleanor stamp set onto Very Vanilla card  using Ridinghood Red, Cherry Cobbler and Bravo Burgundy ink and cut them out.  I used the Blossom  Petals Builder punch to make the leaves, cutting them from Garden Green card.  I inked up one of the leaves from the French Foliage stamp set using Garden Green ink and added the punched leaves, this gives the punched cardstock the look of a real leaf.

I hung it inside my pantry door using those new “velcro” photo hangers and added a little cord holder for my whiteboard marker.   Shopping should be much better now.

I’d love to hear what you think of this idea.

Bye for now, Kris.
