Pink Chalkboard Frames - With a Little Valentine Flavor

When the chalkboard paint comes out, I tend to go a little overboard.  Nothing is safe from being chalkboard-ified. 


Old gold frames - ahem, maybe I should say FREE old gold frames....what's with all the old gold frames in this world?  They had some pretty needlepoint flowers in them, but they're not really my style, so the gold and the needlepoint needed to go.

I made this heart garland from magazine pages and fishing line.




Check out the back below - I covered it with vintage flower wallpaper...poppies or anemones maybe? Not sure.
My mom bought it at a barn sale to use in her bathroom, but I don't think my dad was too thrilled with it. Wonder why.

I was having so much with the pink paint, that I found another frame to paint...

The button was SUPPOSED to be on the bottom of the frame, but someone got a little over-excited with the glue gun and didn't check the back of the frame to see which side was the top.  Luckily, it worked with it on the top.

Love this paper.  See my little tag - something is wrong with my "spooler" so I can't print...so I had to get creative for my booth price tags. 

Hope you're having a great week! I've been working on all kinds of furniture (since it was so nice and warm outside today)...so I should have some new, non-chalkboard or wreath projects in the next couple days.  Promise!

LOVE a Good Chalkboard Project

My chalkboard was featured at Lolly Jane Boutique...if you haven't been, it's one of my favorite link-up parties.  I'm kind of a blog slacker on the weekends, so I don't get to visit every weekend.  Kelli and Kristi  are so kind and friendly...and they seem like they have a lot of fun. Thanks to you both.

I bought 2 of these at a barn sale...they had gold frames, which isn't really my style, but I liked the round shape. 

The prints were flowers, and there wasn't any glass, so I decided to give them a new life as chalkboards.


I thought about just painting the frames gray or white, but after the first coat of the gray paint, I liked how the gold was showing through, so I decided to lightly distress.

 

I added a piece of chalk attached to twine.  Saw the idea to wrap the chalk with twine on a blog somewhere, but I don't remember who.  (If someone knows and would kindly remind me, I'd love to add a link to give credit.)


I left one at my booth and added one to my Etsy shop - they'd both been at my booth for almost 2 months without selling, so we'll see how this goes.
