Spring Chalkboard printable quotes

Spring is here, renew and grow.

Spring has sprung breathe it all in.

Check my spring chalkboard "wreath" for my front door DIY

Spring wreath chalkboard DIY from the door decor challenge at the Deseret news Home show

I wanted to make for the Deseret News Home show a very out of the ordinary wreath. I made this "wreath' with a French touch and under $50. You don't have to be very crafty or very talented to make this. Just take your time and have fun.

{Spring wreath chalkboard tutorial}

You will need:

-Chalkboard framed - Mine was from Hobby Lobby 50% off.

-Chalk -  Hobby lobby.

-Pencil sharpener

-Hairspray - Aqua Net -  Walmart

-Coral paint -  The Vintage Bee in Coral

- 15 feet Butterfly burlap ribbon -  Hobby Lobby.

-Glue gun

-Strong string or cord

-Damp cloth

-dry cloth

-Cue tips
- Painter's tape
- News paper

-bag tie backs

-Wreath hanger

Prep your chalkboard  by covering the whole board with chalk . Erase the chalk with Damp cloth. Sharpen the chalk with  the big side of the pencil sharpener. wet your chalk and Copy the design of your choice free hand to your board. The chalk disappears to appear dense when dry. Add embellishments like a banner or flowers to fill spots you think needs it. Use dry cloth and cue tips to clean errors.  I have some design choices on my blog.  When dry, seal it with hairspray. Do light coats. The chalk disappears when the hairspray is wet and reappears when dry.

Separate the chalk from the frame or mask the middle with painter's tape and news paper and Spray the frame with Coral paint. When dry place the chalkboard back.

Tie the string between the 2 hanging hooks in the back of the frame, making sure the hanging top is where the wreath and the wreath hanger should be.

Cut your ribbon  in 2 same lengths. Hot glue the ribbons on each sides on the back of the frame.

Hang your wreath on the string to the wreath hanger to the door and then attach both ribbons on the top of wreath hanger with bag ties. Make a bow by making 2 loops with each ribbons and tying them together. Cut the end of ribbons where you want then in a V shape. Hot glue top of ribbon to the wreath hanger or anything showing or you want to stay put.

A little view of the Coral paint, Aqua Net hairspray. I use a mini glue gun. 

The original frame was blue. Wet your chalk to have a more dense writing.

Sharpen your chalk. Write free hand your designs. Some ideas at the end of this posts.

Seal your chalk art with Hair spray. Spray paint your frame with the Coral paint. I masked the middle part with news paper and painter's tape but you can also take the frame apart.

Tie up your string in the back where you want to hang your wreath hanger.

Cut your ribbon in two and hot glue each end on each side of the frame.

Hang your frame on the wreath hanger and attach both ends of the ribbon on the top of the hanger with tie.

Make a simple bow. Hot glue the parts that you want hidden or you want to stay put.

Very French, crafty, artsy chalkboard frame for your front door or interior.

You can see it here on my black front door. Match your flowers in your pots to the Coral frame and you have a stunning, not like everyone front door.

Favorite beauty product: Love and Toast

This is my favorite body lotion and perfume for spring from Love and Toast. It's called Dew blossom. It really smells heavenly and is very addicting. I use it on my baby too. The perfume is a roll on. Great to keep in my purse. I tend to apply it often because I love to smell so much. I used it too last Summer when I went to Paris. I got mine at Harmond's but I heard it is at Ulta too.

Do you have a favorite scent for spring?

Must have makeup and fashion for spring

I am so over winter, spring needs to come ASAP.

So dear friends my wardrobe and clothes are going springy!

Here are few must have and exiting makeup and fashion for early spring:

Teal cat eyes and bright lips:

 This is purely fashionable and goes with any eye color. I have blue eyes and usually I would not recommend blue eye shadow but here it works with the teal eye pencil or eye liner.

Urban decay 24/7 glide-on eye pencil in Zero and Mainline / Gifted Amazonian clay smart mascara black / Urban Decay Naked Basics

To make my teal cat eyes I use a black eye liner first on the edge of my eyelashes like I usually do, then I apply the teal eye pencil next to the black pencil making sure that I end with a point at the outside of the eye. A bone color eye shadow all over the eye lid for day time, here Urban decay "Venus". Then apply your mascara.

For night time you might apply a darker eye shadow on the lid for a smokey eye like Urban decay "Faint".

Maybelline color whisper in 100 A plum prospect / Cover girl lip pencil 225 beloved bien - aimee

Bright lipsticks are fun for this spring. The whole line of Maybelline color whisper will do that.

Always use a lip liner for perfect pout

Fashion statement for spring:

Target floral scarf / Bag sold a my hairstylist's salon

- A great faux croco or snake hand bag. The big designers are crazy for it even with clothing. 

- A romantic Floral light scarf. Choose a scarf with colors that match your wardrobe already. A bright colored scarf is ok and very feminine as long as it is floral. Floral is going to be big this spring with dresses etc... I am exited for it!

Belle bird Teal Cardigan/ Belle bird Ocre Shirt/ Teal long necklace from shopko

- Teal again is big with clothing as well.

- Feminine ruffles and details like fabric flowers on this cardigan.

- Sunglasses. The sun is coming out, get them out. They are pretty and also an anti-aging tool. Less wrinkles on your eyes and forehead. If you live in Utah you wear them all year long because of the snow and lots of sunshine!

Sunglasses from Kmart / Floral Target scarf

Perfect for a sushi date at Mt. Fuji Sushi Bar and Japanese Cuisine in Sandy, Utah

SO delicious! I recommend it!

Spring Makeup 2011 by Frenchy

My Makeup is not the same for spring and summer. I am going for a Smokey eye, bright blush, bronzer and light lips this year.

Here is my selection for Spring and Summer 2011 

Pink selection :

Physicians Formula Happy booster,Glow and mood boosting blush in Rose.

Maybelline Colorsensational Pearly pink 720.

You want to apply the blush on the apple of the cheeks very lightly.

I like the Maybelline lipsticks under a clear lipgloss.

Pink outfit

Peach selection :

Maybelline Fit me Blush in medium pink

Maybelline Colorsensational in Coral gleam 730

Again very light on the hand when applying and on the apple of the cheeks for the blush.

Peach outfit

So now...How do you know if the pink or peach will look good on you ?

Are you wearing Fuchsia, pink or salmon and orange ?

from the clothes that look good on you. Match the makeup.

Both pink and peach looks good on me. So i just match them up.

Now....I don't tan. I use sunless tanner and bronzer. Not warm enough and sunny enough for the sunless tanner yet, but i am using bronzer. I apply it on my forehead, temple, apples of the cheeks, bridge of the nose.

I skip the jaw line because i don't want to look like i have a mask. 

For both pink and peach selection :

Physicians formula Bronze booster in light to medium 7083

It is orange free.

For the Smokey eyes :

Ulta eyeshadow in Mink

Ulta eyeshadow in toast

Ulta eyeshadow in naked

Use the darker brown on the eyelid, the copper color on cruise and the light color on the arch and corner of eye.

Voila ! Makeup for spring on the cheap and still looking fabulous !

What are your favorites ?
