Mother and Daughter Crafting with Cherie

If you like Farmhouse Decor, you are in for a treat!  We have a new vintage vehicle in town, it's 'Vintage Tractor' and guess what?!  All the add-ons for Vintage Truck fit on the back of the Vintage Tractor.  I'm lovin it.  Here is a picture of what I am talking about.




So awesome right?!!  Now I have to chalk up these two new ones and cut it out on my scroll saw to go with my truck!

And, you know I have a video right? Here ya go:




This is one of my favorites by far....... These transfers are all about layering.  Here are my tips. Fuzz, fuzz & fuzz your transfer some more.  When you think you have done it enough do it again.  (this is just putting your sticky transfer on you t-shirt or towel.  It just gets some of the stickiness off of your transfer especially if it is new. Take a natural color wax (I use Minwax) with a rag (I use my husband's old t-shirts and cut it up) and dab it onto the top of the first layer of chalk.  Then take a buffing pad and buff lightl…

It's a serving tray, but you could easily attach a lazy susan kit to the     bottom.





Speaking of Lazy Susan this is how I re-decorated mine:


Ready to play FOOTBALL?!!


The Vintage Truck had a Christmas Tree on it and Santa and Sleigh were flying on top.  I wanted to keep the truck, so I just removed the chalk, all but the truck, and re-chalked for Super bowl!  Sadly the Chicago Bears lost their play-off game, but we are still ready for Super Bowl.  

Watch my video to see how I made these footballs....you have to watch all the way to the end 😉




And now Chalk Couture has a new kit for customers only (designers can get the tran…
