Love Notes Magnet Board

I took a parenting class several years ago in which the teacher encouraged us to have a "notes board" in our master bedroom to write love notes and notes of thanks and encouragement to each other. I loved the idea but I didnt want a dry erase or chalk board because I wanted to preserve the nice things we wrote to each other so we could read them over again. I made this one for my husband for Valentine's Day. It hangs in my bedroom next to the bathroom door.
This wooden frame with metal inside came from Roberts Crafts in Utah. First I tore up paper and distressed the torn edges with a distressing ink pad found at craft stores in the scrapbooking section.
Here are a few of the sides.
Then I covered the wood with the paper using mod podge. Sometimes it bubbles up so I like to use a squeegee tool to smooth the paper while the mod podge is wet. Then I tied three coordinating ribbons onto one side.
I bought a sturdy journal from a department store for about $7. I covered it with matching paper, also using mod podge. I the embellished the front with some things I had left over from another project I had done and tied matching ribbons to the spiral binding.
Then I glued a piece of scrap metal (you can buy this size peice at Craft Warehouse) to the back. Then I bought some small but strong magnets at Michaels. I found it works better to glue the metal towards the bottom in case you want the binder clip on the back part of the book.
I tried to think of reasons why we wouldnt use it and prevent them...here is what I came up with.

I think about it but theres never a pen handy:
Cover a pen and tie it to the book! The writing tool is ALWAYS there.

The book is closed so we forget:
Cover a large binder clip with matching paper and tie ribbons to the top. Fasten it to where you are in the book. It makes for easy opening or holds it open!

  4. There are some important differences between DAZ Studio and Poser that make it worthwhile testing on both programs.
    However, if you bought the game used and discovered the previous owner
    redeemed the original code, you would have to pay a fee in order
    to play the game's online multiplayer ' these fees
    averaged around $10. com) , while having their Plus (subscription program) remain with
    the new system, this is great news for fans of the Sony brand
    and one of the primary reasons I'll be continuing on as one of the
    faithful Play - Station fans.
