Back to School Photo Prop

Today I wanted to share with you the photo prop I created for my kids' back to school pictures.  I used the Chalkboard from SVG Attic's Back 2 School.  It is actually a card, and a very pretty one at that.  But I knew it would be perfect for what I had in mind!
Instead of using the included sentiment for the chalkboard, I used a free printable from Jones Creek Creations and just sized it to fit the inside of the chalkboard.  I embossed the outside of the chalkboard with a woodgrain embossing folder and distressed it with brown chalk ink.  To embellish, I used some Cranberry Trendy Twine along the bottom and school themed buttons.
The best part is that I adhered the printable with dotto repositionable adhesive, so I could use the same prop for my Pre-Schooler too!
Here is a close up of the Cranberry Trendy Twine I used.

    Beth, these are so fun and they were the inspiration for me to make a photo prop for my daughter. Your boys are so cute in the pics! When my son was in second grade last year, we also had lots of pictures of his toothless smiles. Such a fun age!
