The last month or so has been brutal. Snowing one day, raining the next, with no end in sight. But, I am hopeful that all the cold weather is behind us. With that being said, a new season calls for a new chalkboard in our Butler's Pantry.
For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you might have seen the chalkboard art I did for Fall/Thanksgiving this past year. Well, it has pretty much stayed like that since October. I planned to change it up for the holidays or at least over the winter, but life got in the way. So now that is Spring, it's about time I get my butt in gear and change that chalkboard.
Here is what it looked like over the Fall Season...
And here it is now...
Not bad. I was going to fill in some of the words with color but I was running out of time. Maybe next season : )
For those of you who want to know how I come up with these cute designs, the answer is, I don't! I find them online or on Pinterest, then use photoshop to add grid lines as guides to help me line up the words accurately. I also draw faint grid lines on the chalkboard to match. This is how I get everything to be proportionate in size and ensure that I don't run out of room while drawing.
Maybe next time I change it up I'll take some photos of the process and make a quick tutorial. Check back in the Summer for that one!
Happy Spring!
