I drew this chalkboard a few weeks ago, before I had the baby, but he came so much sooner than expected that I didn't have a chance to share!
I can smell Autumn dancing in the breeze...
the sweet chill of pumpkin and crisp sun burnt leaves.
I designed part of the wreath and the lettering in photoshop. Then I used my overhead projector to blow it up onto the chalkboard and then traced it. I doodled the rest of the leaves, flourishes, etc. to fill it in. If you don't have an overhead projector and want to do beautiful chalkboard art, I have a tutorial HERE for you. No projector needed!
I love Fall and I love doodling on my chalkboard!

Hey Kristen, your chalkboard is fantastic. Never would've thought to plan it out on PhotoShop...just another thing I can do with PS. Don't you just love that software? Thanks for the tip.
