I am so excited to announce a new monthly series with a few of my southern blogging friends to share Southern Style Decorating! I'm sure you've heard of them all!

Our Southern Home, Refresh Restyle, Top This Top That , 

At Home with The Barkers, Daisy Mae Belle

Each month we are going to bring you 5 themed projects to hopefully get your creative juices flowing!

This month the theme is Monograms. 

DIY Monogrammed Chalk Art by Our Southern Home #chalkart #monogramcraft

 I love chalk art, and I haven't created a new piece for my large chalkboard since Christmas. Yes, it has been blank since the end of December.  Sad…I know.

I wanted to create something simple that would be perfect for everyday no matter the season!

DIY Monogrammed Chalk Art via Our Southern Home #chalkart #monograms #monogramcrafts #diy

 I use my regular method. It's really pretty simple. I print my graphic on an overhead transparency and project it with my thrift store overhead. You can also follow the method that I did for my Fresh Farm Tool Box using all chalk instead of oil pastels and paint.

First of all, I used the fabulous website PicMonkey.com. There is a free version and a paid version.

Here is one printed on on regular copy paper. I am providing you with the template to print your own!

JPEG Monogram Template

PNG Monogram Template

Steps to create your own:

1.  Save file to your computer

2. Upload photo to edit in Picmonkey

3. Add Initial to the center using the font Janda Stylish Script at size 909

4. Add your date at the bottom in font Playfair Display at size 268

5. Save to computer and print to desired size. 

6. Saving as a PNG will allow only the colored areas to print. It will not print the white space. 

7. If you aren't familiar with PicMonkey, I'll be happy to make it for you. Just email you initial and year. Allow time as I am one busy gal these days!

8. You can print and use for other things like in a frame or a painted sign!

If you are a crafter or DIYer, I highly recommend an overhead! I found mine for $20 something at the thrift store last summer!

Tape your project to the overhead so it doesn't get moved by kids, your foot knocking it or a wagging tale. I've finally learned!

Here is my fancy container with regular chalk , pencil sharpener and a chalk pen….love it by the way!

Use a hair dryer to blow away the chalk dust when finished! This method is so fast. It only took about 30 minutes to draw and color in!

I'm kind of addicted to chalk art. Once you make your chalkboard…it's kind of like free art!

    Hi! I am in the process of doing this, but when I click on the files, Google docs doesn’t give me the option to save. It allows me to download, but not as an image, so Pic Monkey won’t let me pull it up. Am I doing something wrong? I am trying to do this while my daughter naps, so I am sure you can empathize with the urgency! (ha!)

    My chalk pens leave their mark – I bat seem to fully erase what has been drawn – this is on homemade chalk boards also – any advice…

      Nickie,

      This is the first time that I’ve used the pens. I’ll have to let you know. I sure hope it isn’t too bad because I loved using them! Have you tried wiping it down with a wet rag and maybe re-priming with a flat piece of chalk? I’m going to have to research around on this one! I’ll keep you posted! ~Christy

    Love this idea. Was your monogram permanent or temporary? Also how do you water mark your pages?
    Thanks!

    I love a big chalkboard! Great tip on using the hair dryer! I usually blow on it and that doesn’t work as well 😉
    Have a great week!

    ps. I bought my projector at Goodwill for $19.99, must be the going price!

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
