Countdown To The Last Day Of School

Are your kids as giddy as mine about the last day of school?! Bring on SUMMER! {wink} You can all count down to the big day with a super easy to make Chalkboard Countdown Calendar!

Here’s what you’ll need to make a chalkboard countdown to the last day of school … or to the first day of summer… and you can find it all at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores:

• Chalkboard 12×12 (this one is magnetic for my next chalkboard project!)
• Frame 12×12
• Cricut Explore Air (or Cricut Explore with bluetooth adapter)*
• Cricut Design Space app for iPad® (or you can use your desktop/laptop if you don’t have an iPad)
• My Countdown graphic in Design Space (personalizing, resizing, etc. is so easy!)
• 12×12 Cricut Mat
• Cricut Vinyl Stencil
• Cricut Transfer Tape
• Chalk marker, fine tip
• Optional: Tape, Ruler

Now for the super simple tutorial, just hop over to my latest post on the Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores blog, Creative Spark. You’ll get the full written tutorial as well as a pictorial. I’m personally visual so the picture by picture helps me craft it the first time! {grin}

By the way, did you see that Cricut just came out with the Explore One? It’s the same great machine, but a bit less expensive than the Cricut Explore (one step cut & write) and Cricut Explore Air (one step cut & write plus wireless). It’s the perfect starter machine because you can upgrade it if you want those other features. Compare all three machines and let’s get crafting!

As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake, create and celebrate!
