Message Board - New idea!

In December 2009 we made these cute Message Boards at Stamp Club.  They are made with white ceramic tiles (6" x 8") and can be written on using Dry Erase markers.  Here is a Christmas version:
This is the one that sits on my counter the rest of the year...
Here is the new idea!!  In attempt to make alternate toppers for the message board, I decided to add Velcro to the back of the Message board . Then I made other toppers and attached velcro to the ends of these.  Voila!  To change toppers (seasonly or monthly) simply remove one topper and wrap a new one on to your board!
Here is a photo of the back of the tile with Velcro (hooks) attached:

Details:
The tiles can be purchased at stores like Home Depot, Lowe's. etc.  The easels can be found in many styles at craft or framing stores.  The DSP is 2 coordinating pieces, each one measures 1 1/2" x 12". Simply border punch one of them and then attach the 2 strips together with the bottom one showing about 3/4" down.  Add ribbon or other embellishments as desired.

Have fun creating!
