Easy peasy lemon squeezy dry erase frames for notes. We've been using one of these frames in our phone area of the kitchen and it's been an easy way to leave a note that someone called, jot down a quick reminder, or as Morgan does, leave a note for her dad that she has a late day at school and to not wake her up early. :)
It was time to update the one we've been using and to make one for a friend who helped out with Brett while I was away. Webster's Pages patterned paper is perfect for these frames, lots of open space to see the writing with beautiful borders that provide a bit of color and elegance.
No stamping at all here; a bit of Red Tag Alpha letters and a touch of sewing are all it needs to complete the frame. The frame on the left just needed a bit of simple wonky sewing as it has the border going all the way the left side, the other frame I put a paper trim with sewing on top to add a bit of subtle color where there was too much open space.
These 8" x 8" frames were purchased from Michaels a long time ago and I have no idea if they still stock them or not, but any frame will do. Just be sure that embellishments on your design are flat so the glass is level, or use a shadow box type frame that allows for embellishments. For me, because they get a lot of handling I keep the frame plain and un-embellished, as well. But you could embellish it if you choose, the possibilities are endless!
The longest part of this project, cleaning the glass and getting all the pesky strays out from under the glass! LOL
