October Challenge-Chalk it Up!

Hi everyone! Valerie here today with the October Challenge. We want to see you Chalk It Up. This month, we invite you to share with us your chalkboard inspired decor, layouts, cards, etc…

Naturally, Chalk Studio is a great pick for this challenge when choosing supplies, but you'll also find quite a few chalkboard inspired items in the Cut and Paste Collection. When I think of chalk and chalkboards, I think of school. How convenient that my son just started preschool this year. I printed off a couple photos from his first day and got to work creating this layout.

Supplies: Chalk Studio Collection:"Beautiful Ride" paper, sticker labels, chipboard elements, and twine; Cut & Paste Collection:Flair "Small" decorative brads, Flair "Today" tiny word stickers, Flair "Wow" chipboard stickers, Flair "Snapshots" buttons, Presh "Noted" enamel dots, Presh "Good Times" buttons, and Adorbs "Special" tiny word stickers;Lime Twist:Out of the Blue "Playful" alphabet;Misc:American Crafts Thickers. 

I picked a patterned paper from Chalk Studio for my background, and used an entire sheet of Chalk Studio sticker labels. I cut a couple of them in half to stretch them even further. Then, I simply added a few embellishments on top.  

Supplies: Chalk Studio: decorative tape, tags, and twine;Decorative Tape Sets:Mint & Grey,Pink & Yellow ;Find Your Wings & Fly: layered stickers.

I also took a little time to spruce up a bare vintage metal watering can. This watering can always sits on a tray in our entryway. Over the years it has held sunscreen and bug spray, but this summer it was a great place to store our sidewalk chalk.

 And now it's your turn. We challenge you to "Chalk It Up." Can't wait to see what you create!
