Command Center

My daughter and I had been talking about making her some kind of weekly calendar in a frame that she could write on and erase each week. When I saw that my friend and upline, Kim Moss, was making this project as a workshop, I was so excited to go make one too.
 
Kim had all the pieces already cut for us from the For Always paper pack, as well as a preprinted monthly and weekly calendar. I chose to stamp my accents from The Best Things stamp set, and "LEILANI" from the Glamour Uppercase stamp set. All of our pieces assembled beautifully in a 16"x20" frame. Then we attached a pen holder to the bottom to hold our Vis-a-vis pen and a decorated silver clip to hold her school calendar.
 
This afternoon, my daughter and I took it apart to add her photo. We also added some touches of cranberry by stamping the main image from the Love Doily stamp set and adding Pink Glitter Gems and Trinkets Wooden Shapes colored with cranberry ink. We had so much fun taking a beautiful project and adding a few of our own touches to make it match her room.
