The NEW Chalkboard Stack! by DCWV

You just have to see the New DCWV Chalkboard Stack!!! It's just the most fun new paper. If you like to doodle, you must have this stack. It has a slight texture and special surface that allows you to use chalk just like a chalkboard, but better because it wipes off very nicely. I have a couple of tips for using chalks on this paper though. If your chalk is new or has been handled alot, you will need to rough the end a bit before drawing. You could just scribble on a piece of paper, but I have a sanding block and it works fantastic and quick.

My first thought was "How cool! I can make something altered or a card with chalk, but in my scrapbook I don't want chalk that will dust off easily." Ok, not a problem, you can use lots of cool things on this. I like using watercolor pencils the best but I have many more colors in my watercolor crayons so that's what I used for my page today.  I think watercolor pencils would be better because you can do more detailed doodling. I also used the new Recollections "Midnight Magic" stack by DCWV since I was using Halloween photos. This is my black Halloween tree and wreath. My decorations are sort of themed with Nightmare before Christmas, so I drew Jack and Zero. The little orange frame is actually from the chipboard for the Animal Crackers collection from DCWV. 
Oh one more thing - If you use watercolor pencils, you can use a paper towel or qtip with water to erase if you mess up! I did it ALOT on this page. LOL! If you draw on papers with those you cant erase, but this is a really cool surface that doesn't get damaged with a bit of water. Give it a try!
