Or do you do the other things and when tired and frustrated, go breathe in your view?? Hopefully you didn't have to do that often with your chalkboard card - because it is just right! The times that I have tried it, I never get mine chalky enough and, having grown up with chalkboards (and clapping erasers to get the chalk out) - they are most definitely extremely chalky!Kim Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524519727516942686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766814331547828609.post-26980106410549647662013-12-08T21:18:24.784-07:002013-12-08T21:18:24.784-07:00WHAT a breathtaking view from your place!!!

Carol, I just love that you're not afraid to try new things, and just jump in with two feet! And I swear, every time you do, the results are awwwwe-some!! Case in point - the chalkboard technique!!! You have perfected it - right out of the gate!! And, well, those hearts substituting the 'o's - squeallllllllll!!!

My hubby's BIL is BIG into biathalon - supervised the Olympics here in Vancouver in 2010. Maybe you hubby knows him?! His name is Noel. LOVE the mountain scene from your home!

Awesome design layout too. Love the deep, rich color of the hearts! <br /><br />Stay warm! We are -36C with the windchill right now! Can't help but feel sorry for all the wee critters! Brady said that Lethbridge was -39C last night!

I totally SUCK at this technique, and after seeing your card, I'd really like to give this another go...but it wouldn't turn out nearly as sweet as your card did. Love those warm reds all over your card. And perfect chalkboard. And what a view out your patio! When it stops snowing, and we have a sunnier day, I'll shoot "my" lake for you to see. Not quite as spectacular, but lovely nonetheless. : ) BevHappy Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04791822508941222518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766814331547828609.post-48523201248672116362013-12-08T12:23:30.239-07:002013-12-08T12:23:30.239-07:00I am happy you tried out this fun technique.
