Ok, for those of you that have asked...here is instructions for creating the white board project I posted.
First you need to buy a white board. They come in all shapes, sizes and formats. Mine came with the grid imprinted on it but you could do this with a permanent marker or detail tape.
I measured the size of the squares and cut papers to size or used die cuts that would fit into the spots. Tip: if you are going to use rub ons on your squares as I did, put the rubon direct on the paper because I only found one brand of rubon that would transfer onto laminate.
I cut papers to size for days of the week and added the days with rubons.
I then ran the squares, die cuts, etc; through my xyron machine using the magnetic/laminate cartridge.
I covered thin chipboard with paper, inked and then also ran these through the xyron using the magnetic/laminate cartridge.
I applied rubons directly to the white board in various spots.
I glued ribbon (used glue lines but you could use any good and tacky glue) around the border of the frame and then used my knife to cut the ribbon at the correct angle.
I put large brads through prima flowers and then used glue dots to adhere in corners.
I used glue dots to adhere the metal corners from ATB as well.
Have fun playing!!!
Wow, that is so awesome!! You have totally inspired me

Super nice! Quick question, can you write and erase on the squares that you decorated because they are laminated now? or do you post notes on those dates?

It depends on the type of white board pen. If the pen tends to leave marks on the white board itself than I wouldn't do it. Others that wipe off super easy are ok. (more of a dry pen)
I normally just attach stickies to them or move the magnetic squares around if I need to use one of the spots.
