Another one of our weekend travels brought us a little further south in VA. A few weeks ago, Kerry's brother was married. His brother and now wife asked us to help take photos of their wedding. I like taking photos. I am very far away from being a great photographer, but I like to try. I just need more practice. So I took this as an opportunity to practice and to test out some props that I had seen in other wedding photos - chalkboards. Chalkboards are so popular now. I see them in paint form, frames, and labels. I figured I could incorporate one into their photos.
I stopped over at my favorite craft store, Michaels's, and purchased an off-white frame and self-stick chalkboard sheets:
Then I taped it to the back of the matte just to secure it.
And that was it ! Nice and easy framed chalkboard. No painting necessary and it was pretty cheap. I believe it was under $6 for the whole project. And I still have three more chalkboard adhesives to use for some other future project.
Congrats to Kerry's brother and his new wife !
How do you fancy up your photos?
Now you can Do It Yourself Too !

All I did was peel apart the back of the chalkboard adhesive and stick it to the matte of the frame.

I used it with Kerry's beautiful nieces:
