{reposted from earlier this year, as it’s such a great gift idea}
Need a cheap gift idea? Scrapbook paper + stickers + a frame = a perfect gift for that disorganized person in your life.
I have quite a few.
Frames and disorganized people in my life, that is.
This takes 2nd grader craft skills. Even if you aren’t crafty, you can totally pull this off.
This will take you ten minutes. Seriously.
M A T E R I A L S:
- a photo frame with multiple openings
-scrapbook paper
-stickers or chip art letters
-chalkboard marker or dry erase
-hot glue
-ribbon
D I R E C T I O N S
1.) Replace the fake photos with scrapbook paper.
2.) Adhere stickers or chipboard to the matting on the frame.
I chose the words “do”, “go”, “buy” and “etc”, but do what works for you. I’ve complete other frames for friends that also have a “contact” area {great for email, phone calls, appointment reminders}
3.) Hot glue a ribbon to the back of the frame and also to the marker.
Easy! Cheap! Reusable!
Much better looking than a ton of post-it notes, right?

The brilliance of this is in its simplicity! I totally would use this more than the kinds of organizers with all kinds of crazy sections that I never use. Love it!
Nice. That is a really good idea!
So simple! I love it!! I have seen other photo frame dry erase boards, but this is something I havent seen! Thanks for sharing this!

Honestly, such a great idea!!
Out of all the link-ups at Savvy Southern Style today, I loved this idea the most, (why? Because it is DIFFERENT!) and I am going to make one! I happen to have a four opening matted frame! And there are four people in our home–so one name per opening—lovelovelovelove this idea!!
I hope KIM FEATURES YOU NEXT WEEK
HUGS and blessings to you!

Good idea! I have four children and when I saw this I thought “Ah Ha! Chore Chart!” I’ll have to try this.
What a cute idea. I love it. This would be great for anyone. thanks for sharing. I would love it if you could link this up to our linky party going on right now. http://junkintheirtrunk.blogspot.com/2011/12/link-it-up-wednesday-6.html
Another thing you can do is laminate the scrapbook paper so that you don’t have to waste paper and you could have several different pieces that coordinate with the holiday or season.
easy idea of gift so nicely did! incredible.
