Hi all, happy Thursday! I thought this week I would finally be able to get back in the routine and post at least three days a week. However, life is still a bit crazy from the holidays and my daughter leaving for college. Yesterday I forced myself to take time to craft. I'm so glad I did...it just makes me happy!
I'm so addicted to chalkboards! I thought this was a new obsession, but then I realized that I've always loved them. When "country" decor was so popular, I had tons of them!
Don't you love how you can mix and match My Creative Time Stamps and Dies with Cricut cuts!
For the felt heart, I used the center heart of the new My Creative Time Scallop Stitched Heart Die. For the buttons, I doubled them up and added thin turquoise hemp.
Did some zigzag sewing, added some cream jute and a Cricut cut heart boarder! I love how everything came together! Here's a video showing how to achieve the "chalkboard" look from another project.
Enjoy!

super love this Liz!
I'm in love with this card, Liz! The chalkboard really pops against those colors, and each of your elements is perfect! Love the button layered on the clock, and the stitching is awesome!
So fabulous...love your stuff!! Lee-Ann :)
Oh my gosh Liz - I LOVE this card! The colors are fantastic and I LOVE chalkboards too - have one in my kitchen and write dinner on it every night :) the kids erase random letters in the words and sometimes what's left on the chalkboard doesn't sound so appetizing :) Boys!!
Have A great DAY!
