ABC Primer Graphics 45

Hello and Happy Tuesday to You All!

I have not shared here yet about my newest

crafting addiction until now, I have gotten hooked on going

 garage sale hopping and to used stores in search of

 treasures to alter. Yeppers I am HOOKED, you should see my

craft room closet and cupboards LOL they are sooo full of

 stuff to alter. Hey at least I am all set for winter.

Or should I say several winters LOL.

 Well anyways here is one item I just finished.

I found this Rooster chalk board and the board was

all scratched up got it for little of nothing and totally redid it.

So tell me what you think.

 Here is the before picture.

Now on to the new version

As you can see I used the fabulous Graphics 45

 "An ABC Primer" paper, that I got from Joan's Garden.

 I just love their papers.

I cut out and popped up the books and the ABC

 sign and used a real pin in it. The pencil I got from Walmart

and cut it down and sanded it then added ink to color it lightly.

I bought the eraser at Hobby Lobby and added

Graphics paper there too. The other little distressed box is chalk

and I recovered the box to match. I also added

 little wooden knobs to the sides of the board for more interest.

So there you have it my refurbished treasure.

 I would love to hear what you think of it.

I plan on selling it at an up coming craft show.

 I have more to share so stayed tuned LOL.

Hugs
