My Minds Eye Chalk Studio 

Chalkboard continues to be a popular theme in home decor and it has started showing up in scrapbooking!  I love the new Chalk Studio Line from My Minds Eye because it blends the scrapbook paper with home decor!



This line offers three papers that can be used for scrapbooking, but when you cut on the lines you'll find on the papers you can easily pop them into a frame!  How easy is that?
4x6.  These sheet will also work well in any divided page protector, like Project Life. 
5x7
8x10


These pieces would look great when placed in our 12x12 frame! (shown below in the frame) 

You can purchase the frame on our website here. 

The line also includes layered stickers, tags, and chipboard pieces!

There are many ways to create the chalk look for scrapbook pages, cards or tags! 

This christmas card is a fun card to make using Hampton Art White pigment ink, set with clear embossing powder and accented with a prismacolor white pencil.  Remember nearly ALL white inks are pigments, which means they will take a very long time to set, and really need set with embossing powder.  It's easy!

Stamp your image with white ink.
Sprinkle clear embossing powder on the ink, and tap off the excess.
Heat with a heat gun until the clear powder sets!  

Looking for a fun way to write on a dark envelope?  Try the white pencil or the white uniball pen!  The uniball white pen is a must have and is a great pen for journaling!

We also stock chalkboard vinyl, chalkboard labels, chalkboard paint, and chalkboards!  Find them here!

You can order these products online in our web store!

You can purchase these products from our booth at 
Rabbittown Antiques and Artisans 
419 East Main Street
Danville, IL 61832
Open Mon-Sat 10-5  Open Sunday Noon-5.  Our booth is upstairs! 

Hope to see you soon!
