Shabby Chalkboard Freebie

Okay, am I the only one or are there others out there totally addicted to chalkboard paint? I'd paint a square of it on my own forehead if it wasn't most likely toxic. I recently bought the most gaudy frame known to man at a thrift store and, with a can of pink spray paint and a brush loaded with chalkboard paint, turned it into a spiffy chalkboard for my daughter's room. (I know, right? Check me out!) Don't worry though. I didn't leave you out. I cooked up a little shabby chalkboard goody for YOU to use on your blog. It's sized for the average sidebar and ready to be customized any way you'd like. And, just because I love you thaaaat much, I made it in six different colors. :) Just a little thank-you for following my blog, leaving such super sweet comments, and just generally being the coolest people on earth. Enjoy!

  29. Oh I couldn't agree MORE! I could spray paint a chalkboard on just about anything, and was just thinking about doing it on a couple of my kitchen cabinets the other day, but then I thought, "Well, I can't put a chalkboard on everything in my life or it might be considered overkill."

    Oh, and did you see my cute button? Thanks to you and your help... I'm thrilled with it and I so appreciate the tutorial and email help!! You're the best!!

    Blessings,

  75. Hi. I've just found your site but I absolutely fell in love with the designs. It took me ages to choose one for my blog. (I ended up with a pink one altough this time i really didn't want a pink :D ). From the fall designs my favourite is the pumpkin spice. The colors are amazing.
    Thank you.

    ReplyDelete

  98. Megan, you are so talented! First of all, I use one of your free layouts on my personal blog and I love it. Secondly, I have a QUESTION: I read your terms and conditions. It says that we cannot "redistribute these graphics in any way, shape, or form." I am currently designing a button for another blog owner (who is also a huge fan of your work) who would like to use it as the button/link for a new weekly feature that she is hosting. I would add text to it and use a scroll bar/html to allow people to grab it, add it to their blogrolls, or link to their participating posts. Is this considered "redistribution"? Just want to make sure I follow the rules and don't step on anyone's toes. :o) Email me at mschuchard22 (at) hotmail (dot) com. Thanks!
