a Chalkboard Christmas

I believe it was Shanna Murray who started the beautiful chalkboard trend for the Holiday Season ... walls, calendars, wrapping paper and more. It has definitely been a chalkboard trend this year and I love them all... I have searched for some nice free downloads for you and some ideas you can still do before the Christmas weekend starts ...

Here are some beautiful gift tag printables that Jan over at Poppytalk posted the other day ...  for more black and white Christmas move on to the next page... 

Such a great idea... some black wrapping paper, a white paint marker and This way everyone has personalize wrappers made by you. Easy-peasy chalkboard presents idea.

How do you make chalkboard permanent? Because this Christmas party invite on the left looks too perfect to be wipped off. Would you prefer a chalkboard Christmas tree this year? Instead of hanging ornaments, draw them with colored chalks.

Let's take advantage of these free printables holiday greetings in the image above.

Cutest mural ideas. Love this idea of making illustrations on the wall for a photoshoot with your kids. A nice picture and great photobooth idea. The baby picture on the right is by One Claire Day. 

What a great way to end 2012, what do you think will be the new trend next year?  ~irene
