Christmas Tree Farm On A Pillow

Getting my guest room ready for my family coming to visit over the holidays.  So excited to see them! I used Chalk Couture Ink and the silkscreen transfer 'Christmas Tree Farm' Here is my how to video: Now, I am going to take a few weeks to get everything ready and enjoy the time with family and friends.  I wish for you a happy, joyful and blessed Christmas and I will be back next year! https://linktr.ee/cherielyne https://www.chalkcouture.com/cheriecriswell/

Deck The Palms - Inside and Outside!

Deck the palms, with this Florida home, inside and outside. Chalking on the Inside And............. on the Outside But, brrrrr it's only 58 today and baby it's cold outside!  Our Florida winter is here!  It was pretty funny cause I was helping putting up our outside lights sweating....really!  And this was just a couple of days ago.....I don't think I can ever go back to the mid-west; too, too, cold! So much fun chalking in the inside (I can regulate the temp. inside LOL) As always my how to video:  Take special notice of my Camo Palm Trees!

Having Fun With Christmas Chalking

I have been having so much fun Chalking for Christmas, that I forgot to post.....Oh my, I have three pieces and videos to post, so this is all three in one post! Changing my Lazy Susan in my kitchen from fall (a load of pumpkins in the back of my truck & Halloween critters) to Winter/Christmas.🎄🤶 Chalking on my Box Frame 'Believe'.  On the other side I have chalked 'Harvest' which I displayed on Thanksgiving. And my Nativity.  I sanded this block, stained it, whitewashed and distressed it.  I also put a light coat of natural wax to make it easier to chalk. So a lot of chalking right?!  I realized I did a couple more which I do not have videos for.  I will post these at the end of this post. So here are my how to videos: Vintage Truck with 'Believe' 'Believe' on my Box Frame      Nativity So here is a little bonus, some pictures without videos.  Mother and daughter had s

Home & Wreath

Watch out!  I'm chalkin everything in my path with Christmas Decor.  More specifically Farmhouse Christmas Decor!  Love it!💖🎄🤶  I love it!  So, so cute!  And those are Dollar Tree flowers in my vase.  So now this can be a year around vase, I will just change the flowers up.  🤶  You have to enjoy a great value!  This is a B size transfer called 'Home & Wreath' and the chalk paste colors I used are Black Velvet, Garden Herb and Emerald (The new color is Green Envy, a very pretty Christmas green). Then I went crazy on my farmhouse Christmas tree.  See how many Chalk Couture ornaments you can find on my tree: This is so fun!...can't stop, don't want to stop!  LOL  It's an addiction, but a happy one!  😍😎💖 Don't forget to look at the gifts below the 🎄.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So what are your favorite dishes to make and eat for Thanksgiving?  I like turkey maybe once a year.  LOL  But this year we are including chicken and ham.  Yum, thanks to two of my grandchildren who will be eating with us I will have other choices besides turkey!  My favorite of the sides are probably the green bean casserole, and stuffing (so long as no meat or organs [yuck] are in it)  😉  I made this just for our holiday. I used two transfers:  Thanksgiving Corners & Give Thanks.  Chalkology Paste are:  Fawn, Marigold, Garden Herb and two different shades of orange (which I mixed - I just added white to make it lighter) So here is my how to video: So if you would like to browse, shop or join just click the link below my bitmoji! https://www.chalkcouture.com/cheriecriswell/ https://linktr.ee/cherielyne Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

How Many Times Can You Use One Transfer? Starring 'Beary Christmas' & 'Houndstooth'

Well quite a few!  I used Beary Christmas on four places and the houndstooth on a couple so far.....It can go much farther than that.  As far as your creative mind can take you and on many different surfaces!  Here is a picture of a few. Love this little lady, isn't she cute?!  I used a combination of inks and paste.  So fun!  I think I will add some jingle bells to my polar bears with either a red or green bow.  ❤️🔔✝︎✯ I used Gold Shimmer Ink, Silver Shimmer Ink, Fresh Linen Paste.  The two transfers I used are 'Beary Christmas' & 'Houndstooth'. And....here is my how to video (replay of my live) This was fun and admittedly getting easier to do....lives that is.  :-) I decided to do another video with this cute bear, this time on canvas!  Here is my video I love this little guy, plus the ability to use this transfer over and over again!  I used this on two sides of a pillow case, T-shirt, 4 MDF cut outs and now canvas

Home Wreath - December Club Couture

I have been waiting for this transfer since they brought our catalog out this summer.  They showed us about 6 monthly transfers all the way through January.  Here it is: Awesom right?!  I love this one.  I added the wooden arrow I cut out on my Scroll Saw (my new toy)  Because this is one of Chalk Coutures Magnetic boards, I can attach my 3D element with magnetics!  WooHoo!🙌🏼 I used one of our new neutral chalk paste Fresh Linen for the HME. I used Garden Herb and Emerald for the wreath and Currant Jam for the berries. Here is my how to video (It is live so a little long) This transfer is available December 1, 2018.

What's that saying...'A picture is worth a thousand words'  not sure if that's correct, but this is what I did!  I used my scroll saw and cut out my Vintage Truck and the Add-Ons that go on the back of the truck.

My Buffalo Plaid Vintage Truck

I'm working on something new to add to my Chalk Couture!  Stay tuned.  I'm so excited about it! Love me some Buffalo Plaid Truck!  And on one of my favorite transfer 'Vintage Truck'  Do you love it?  I sure do.  There is a reason I have kept so neutral.  1.  It really pops on the blackboard surface - I used the custard chalk paste, but that is an old color.  I believe the new and closest color would be Fawn.  2.  Well, you will just have to stay tuned....I will be showing you shortly.  :-) Here is my how to video along with a few clues So what do you think I will be doing next? hehehehehe If you would like to look around, shop or join just click the link below my bitmoji https://www.chalkcouture.com/cheriecriswell/ https://linktr.ee/cherielyne If you have any questions just leave me a message on this blog post.  Thanks for stopping by!

Sugar Skulls

   Sugar Skulls appear during Dia de los Muertos (The day of the Dead) This is what I looked up: The  History  of Dia de los Muertos  Sugar Skulls . During the celebration of Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead),  sugar skulls  are often used to decorate the ofrendas (offerings), and they are exactly what their name describes-- skull -shaped  sugar . The festivities start at midnight on the 31st October.  Sugar skulls  are often used to decorate the gravestones of the deceased. The reason they are called “ sugar skulls ” is because the authentic  sugar skulls  were made out of clay molded  sugar , decorated with feathers, colored beads, foils and icing.
