SHARE | FREE Hand-Lettered Chalkboard Art Print on I Heart Naptime

Thursday, August 8



Hi everyone!!

After seeing some cute Anders Ruff printables on Instagram a few weeks back, (posted by Jamielyn from I Heart Naptime) I reached out to Jamielyn and told her to let me know if she ever wanted me to design something for her to share on her blog.  The next thing I know, she requested I design a cute Chalkboard Art Print for the kitchen. I got right to work sketching out some ideas. (the image above is the original sketch I came up with and posted on my Instagram Feed)

I came up with an original quote and then went to work on a hand-sketched and hand-lettered illustration... tweaked it a bit...and ended up with this...


I just LOVE the inspirational quote!!
Although I have a tendency to focus on the "baking" aspect of being in the kitchen...
and I originally went in that direction with the quote...
I ended up making sure the art print applies to bakers and cooks alike!! *wink*

I hope you love it as much as I love how it turned out!!
Head on over to I Heart Naptime to download the FREE 8x10 or 11x14 right now!

TIP FOR PRINTING CHALKBOARD ANYTHING:
Don't print from your home printer and drain your print cartridge.
It costs pennies to have them printed at  +Staples+Office Depot, Inc. or your local printer of choice.
I printed one 8x10 and one 11x14 of the Kitchen Art Print and it cost me .58 cents total for both.
They were both printed onto white card stock too!!

You may recall me mentioning +Jamielyn Nye  before...
Remember those delicious Homemade Reeses Peanut Butter Cups I shared with you awhile ago - inspired by +Jamielyn Nye from +I Heart Nap Time? Yeh!! Those amazing morsels!!
I figured this Kitchen Art Print was a "Thank You" of sorts to Jamielyn for introducing me to a such
a delicious recipe I'll be using again and again!!

Besides that...I love hand-lettering and I'm thrilled the Chalkboard Art trend over the last couple of years has caused me to dive back into it again!!

With the odds working against me today...
I had to postpone my original post.
Ella is sick - has been all weekend.

With a doctor appointment scheduled...
and a load of design work to get caught up on...
My very first "RECiPE RADAR" post has been born.
Short and "Sweet"...
I think I'll be sticking to it on Mondays from now on.
I LOVE the idea of getting to share a sneak peek with you as to what's on my baking/cooking agenda.
I hope you love the idea too!!
