Chalking Up Some Farmhouse Style Kitchen Signs-"Hot Coffee" & "Baked Fre...

These reclaimed wood, 
kitchen signs 
are sooo ADORABLE!
AND CLASSIC, too!
Plus, they only took minutes to create...
How sweet is that?
I've had the Reclaimed Drawer Front Surface, that we carry 
for some time, now...
But, just opened the box today...
And I am "IN LOVE" with it.
It has now become my
all time favorite surface!

YOU CAN CHALK ON PILLOWS, TOO!!!


YES, YOU CAN!!
You can chalk on pillows, too!
And Onesies, T-Shirts, Hats, Shoes, Towels, Dishware, Wood...
If you've got a surface, you most likely can chalk on it!



So.....
Sit back, RELAX, CHILL,
AND
Take the Scenic Route.

Those just so happened to be 
the names of the transfers
that I'm using in this tutorial.

With all of these possibilities,
and
because our transfers
are REUSEABLE, AGAIN & AGAIN...
because we have such a large variety
of silk screened transfers available to you,
Think of how you can save,
creating your own Christmas presents
this holiday season!

These pillows, though...
these are a KEEPER for mwah!
Absolutely one of my favorites!

Chalking Up Some Farmhouse Style Fun


Are you into the Farmhouse Style decor,
as I am?
Here I've turned an everyday tray
into a piece of decor that will fit into your
Farmhouse Style.






Oh, and I almost forgot...
Remember to always consider your 
surface's background color.
It can change the look of your design 
BIG TIME!
In one of these trays in this video,
I chose a color of Chalkology Paste
 that was too light for 
the background surface...
I ended up having to wash 
the surface clean,
and start all over...
but, I actually like the Black Velvet Paste
much better on this design.
See for yourself.

And....
Look at THIS!!

EASY DIY BOWS FOR YOUR TREASURED HANDCRAFTED DESIGNS


Here's an EASY DIY way to 
create those lovely bows
for all of your
treasured designs...





AND...
The finished "THANKFUL" Door Tags...

THANKFUL DOOR TAGS


I'm LOVINNNN' This Woven Plaid Background! It is GOOOORGEOUS!!

OMG!!
I'm soooo LOVIN' this
Woven Plaid Background Transfer!
And these colors 
are AMAZING together!
It took a little bit of time to do,
because I had the Chalkboard Tag
nestled underneath the transfer, 
(because I was worried the transfer, 
being so big would end up clinging to itself).
AND THESE 
"LAYERING LEAVES" Transfer
brought it all together.

THIS WAS A LOT OF FUN TO CREATE!

Love Chalking Some Magic, Even More So With My Grandchildren



OMG, this was so much fun!

While Mark and my daughter 

were out fishing,

I, and my Granddaughter, Emily,

and my grandson, Vince,

stayed back and played with the chalk.



The grandkids had a BLAST!

And are even asking

if we can do it again tomorrow.




Hey, I think they did 

an AWESOME job!

What do you think?

Apparently, Emily has been

watching Grandma

and has it all down packed.

I LOVE Vince's creativity

in wanting to do 

the HOT MESS Technique.

Who Doesn't LOVE Vintage Red Trucks AND Buffalo Plaid? DIY


Okay, now I just have to ask...
Who, here, doesn't LOVE,
yup, you guessed it...
Vintage Red Trucks
AND
BUFFALO PLAID?


I struggled a bit with this design.
Had a few mishaps,
such as I initially chose 
the wrong surface board
for this size transfer.
I checked it earlier, but it appeared that everything would fit fine.
NOPE...
So, I changed things up a bit, 
and went with 
a whole different chalkboard.
And ended up having to add more
to the design,
since the board was quite large.
No biggie, right?

Then I had chalked 
the Buffalo Plaid background
for the Vintage truck,
too high up on the board...
So, it was either remove 
the truck background and do that over,
OR just remove the red axes altogether.

I chose to remove the axes,
BUT, I FOUND, AFTER THE VIDEO
THAT THE AXES WERE 
THE PERFECT FINAL TOUCH 
TO THE GREENERY ON THE BOTTOM
OF THE ENTIRE DESIGN.

How cool is that?

Then I had some issues with the 
Chalkology Paste not coming 
through the silk screen...
Again, think that was my fault.
The chalk paste may have been too thick.
But, yet again,
I was able to resolve it by just using
a different part of the transfer
that put less snow on 
the Christmas Tree.


Anyhow, here is my finished piece.
Vintage Red Truck with Buffalo Plaid

FALL COLORS ARE PEAKING, HERE IN WISCONSIN...SO LET'S WELCOME FALL




Driving to work,
I can see the changes 
in the scenery all around me.
The fall colors are quickly changing.
God is an artist,
as my Great Grandmother said,
when she was 100 years old 
and saw mountains for the very first time.

We are truly blessed.

On my drive to work,
I am surrounded 
with such stunning scenery 
all around me.
But, I have my 2 favorite views,
that I occasionally stop along the highway,
and take a snapshot.

As the fall colors were emerging,
I pulled over to take it all in.

"Will I be late for work?  Maybe..."
But, it was worth it.

These were taking just at the beginning 
of the peak in the Autumn Splendor.
I can't wait to see it this week.






I just HAD to work on a Fall design,
using some of 
our BEAUTIFUL Autumn colors of paste.
This project was a little tedious, 
as there is a LOT of detail,
so, I wouldn't recommend it for your 1st time chalking.


But, come watch, as I give you some tips.








OOPS!! SOMEHOW I LOST MY CONNECTION AT THE TIP END OF THE LIVE VIDEO...
HERE'S PART 2, SHOWING 
THE FINAL PIECE...


AND WOLLA!!!
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?
I'M LOVIN' IT!!

WELCOME FALL FLORA





WELCOME FALL FLORA
