If you’re a regular around these parts you know how much I love my CAMEO. You may also know how much I LOVE chalkboards.
Silhouette has great chalkboard vinyl.
The Silhouette Online Store has great images for sale individually. I purchased and downloaded the 3 way ornate frame for .99 cents.
I “ungrouped” the image and deleted the inner circle because I was not using this as a frame.
When I cut vinyl, I don’t use a mat.
I cut the 3 way ornate frame, weeded the little pieces out and applied it to the wall. Because this was a large piece without any really delicate pieces I didn’t even use any transfer tape.
I love how it turned out! This would be great to leave short messages for your loved ones.
How about a sweet reminder for your little princess?
The chalkboard vinyl erases really nice.
The frosted vinyl is really fun to work with.
One of Jamie’s favorite fonts is Desyrel. Because I was doing this project for one of their engagement photos, the choice of the font was easy.
I loaded the frosted vinyl into the CAMEO, which quickly cut out my phrase.
April 30, 2011 is of course the date these lovebirds tied the knot.
You could do this with a birthdate of a wee one.
Or how about a favorite phrase, or the destination of your best vacation. The options are endless!
How would you use chalkboard or frosted vinyl?

How wonderful gail! I Love the photo! My a year already, where has the time gone? I so wish I had a Silhouette. Way out of my price range right now. Thanks for sharing though, your projects are awesome!
