Happy Holiday Gift Making Day 3!
Today our project is a fun one, it is a cookie sheet message board center. I love these kind of projects because you can make them from just a few bits and pieces from your stash. We did this with the word CREATE- but you can easily personalize this with a name. 
There are a few essential items to get started:
Supplies:
Cookie Sheet- I bought mine at Dollar Tree- it cost- you guessed it $1
Cork Board- you only use a small piece, you could make several of these from just one cork tile
2 or 3- 12 x 12 Patterned Papers (I used 2 double sided pieces)
Coordinating Letters-or you can cut with Cricut
Printable Calendars-(right click on each of the images and "SAVE PICTURE AS", save to your hard drive and then open with your favorite photo program and print on an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper
