I chose to feature the Celebrate Today Magnetic Board kit for my project today. I tend to be a bit disorganized and forgetful sometimes, and this kit has some great options for keeping appointments, tasks to do, and other things I want to remember right in front of me. This kit is $25.00, and I bought a second one at 50% off in the current sale – one to keep track of the projects I need to create, and the other as a reminder of Scripture verses to meditate on or people to pray for.
The kit includes the framed magnetic board with the picture
hangar already attached on the back, 2 sheets of 12x12 double-sided patterned
paper, 3x4 cards with calendars blanks and list-making options, decorative
stickers and headings to use, 2 small file folders to put together, a roll of double-sided
adhesive and magnetic clips.
I wanted to be able to reuse some of my lists, so I applied
some clear adhesive-backed shelf liner onto calendar cards and list cards. This will allow me to use dry-erase markers
to keep my lists current and also use more of the decorative side of the rest
of the cards for card making projects.
I also applied the clear adhesive shelf liner to both side
of one set of the 12x12 paper, which will keep these papers looking good for a
long time and allow me to change out the back ground if I want to. I removed the picture hanger from the back of
one of the frames and applied magnetic strips on the back so I could hang it on
my refrigerator.

I cut one of the other pieces of patterned paper to 9.25” x 5.75” and applied the shelf liner to both sides of this paper to make a cover for a pocket size traveler notebook cover and made inserts for this notebook with coordinating cardstock covers. I used a sentiment from the retiring Flowering Rain Boots stamp set as a focal piece for my notebook cover.

My final creations with this kit were several cards using the cards and stickers from the kit, with the addition of a few embellishments I had on hand. It's amazing how much you can create with a kit and a few extra supplies!
