Chalk it Up! for Madge's Scrappin' Lounge

Looking for the Timeless Twine & My Scrap Chick post?  It's HERE:

I have a confession to make.  I made a resolution to not buy any scrapbook paper this year.  So far, I'm sticking to it.  But, I was feeling the need to add SOMETHING to my scraproom.  Thank goodness for Scrappin' Madge and her embellishment club!

The first month's embellishments arrived last Thursday.  I opened them with great excitement....then froze.  Everything was for the chalkboard craze.  And, since I'm being honest here, I haven't jumped on the chalkboard band wagon. Well, I guess it's time. But, I have no chalk, and every single embellishment said, "just add chalk".  Well, well.  I'm creative, I thought, "work with it." So I did.

I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder, then smeared some white ink around to make it look like a chalkboard.  The round button is another embellishment from the kit.  And, I had FUN!  Now, I'm INTO this chalkboard craze! The Elegant Floral beneath the round button is from Pinque Peacock, made with ribbon from 3 Girl JAM. The sentiment is from a Unity Stamp Company sentiment kit, "Forever Friends". Papers are My Mind's Eye 6x6 Collectable "Unforgettable" paper pad.
