Can you tell what my favorite color is this year? I used the same colors that I used in my Christmas Mantel design this past year and I love it. I love my giant chalkboard that I made (I still have to add the finishing details of my antiqued L-brackets) it makes me super happy. Want to make your own chalkboard, you can see my DIY Travel Map Chalkboard and basically just make a larger version like I did.
When I was brainstorming ideas for this years Valentine’s Day Mantel I had seen a vintage photo of a Las Vegas wedding chapel. So I thought it would be fun to create a chalkboard themed around that. How cute is my little Cupid, I just found a clip art of a Cupid I liked and drew him out in a larger version on my chalkboard.

I made this quick and easy “Lucky in Love” wood sign. I already had the scrap wood lying around so I just made a quick stencil with my vinyl and made a quick sign. I cut out some hearts using a textured polka dot turquoise cardstock and made some Cupid arrows and stuck them in a vase.
The arrow is one of my favorite things, I actually purchased it last month when I was in Utah and had the chance to visit The Wood Connection. It’s actually two separate pieces that I painted and put together with some jute twine. I kept the colors neutral so I can use it all the time.
