September Club Couture - Hello Autumn // Come chalk with me!

We love autumn! September’s Club Couture™ Transfer features foliage and trendy lettering that make us want to jump into a pile of crunchy fall leaves. Your Club Couture™ shipment also includes: Currant Jam, Guava, and Shimmer Harvest paste singles. We paired this month’s Transfer with our Couture Gallery™ Aiden Style White Frame (Black, 9” x 12”, item S183127) to make the classic autumn colors pop! 

Supplies Included:

-Club Couture Transfer: Hello Autumn 
-Chalkology® Paste Singles: Currant Jam, Guava, and Shimmer Harvest

Supplies Needed:

-Surface: Couture Gallery Aiden Style White Frame (Black, 9" × 12")

-ToolsMini Squeegees, Color TraysFuzzing ClothMulti-ToolQuick Dry Tool, Board Eraser

- Chalk Paste: Bright White 


Color and Placement Suggestions

-Bright White: “Hello autumn” sentiment 
-Currant Jam: Leaves
-Guava: Flowers
-Shimmer Harvest: Branches and dots

Follow these instructions to complete this project:

1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging and carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet.

2. “Fuzz” the Transfer by gently pressing it onto a Fuzzing Cloth and carefully pulling it upward. This makes the Transfer easier to remove from the surface after you’ve applied the paste.

3. Center the Transfer on the surface and smooth it out to ensure it has properly adhered and that there are no bubbles or wrinkles.

4. Knead your Chalkology Paste Singles. Cut open the corner of each packet and squeeze the desired amount of paste onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.

5. Use a small amount of paste to smooth over the Transfer, beginning at the top (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”, and keep in mind step 7). To chalk the fine details, use a Multi-Tool.

6. As you work through each detail and color, squeegee the excess paste off as evenly as possible and scrape it back into the tray. The more excess paste you remove, the better the result will be.

7. For best results, use the chalk-and-pull method: Chalk the top half of the design and peel back only that portion of the Transfer to let the paste dry on the surface before continuing (using a Quick Dry Tool is a great option). This allows you to work in smaller sections without having the paste dry in the screen, making the Transfer difficult to remove. To prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from the center or from both corners, instead of peeling diagonally.

8. Once the top half of the design is dry, ensure the bottom half of the Transfer is still secure on the surface and repeat steps 5 and 6 for the rest of the design.

9. Before the paste dries, remove your Transfer from the surface and immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak).

10. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up.

11. Reapply the Transfer Backer Sheet and store flat.

12. Relish your creation!

My meal plan for the week - 9/28/20 - Plus A Brand New Fall Free Printable Meal Planner!

 Another week, another week of meals planned. So far, this has helped with the daily stress of what to make plus we have saved between $100-$150 a week on groceries. Not to bad for a little planning!

Do you change your meals based on the seasons? I sure do! I seem to make more soups and crockpot meals in the Fall and Winter seasons. 


This week we are having for dinner:

Monday: Alfredo Chicken w/ Zucchini and Noodles

Tuesday: Meatloaf w/ mashed Potatoes & Broccoli

Wednesday:  Chicken Enchilada Soup

Thursday: Meatball Casserole with Salad & French Bread

Friday:  Kids Pick

Saturday: Hamburgers & Fries 

Sunday: Broccoli Cheese Soup

After making my list, now it's time to see what I need at the store. Some things I stock up on, so I don't always need to buy everything we need. Keeping a good stock of non perishables is so important just in case something happens. I like to be prepared always! 

Here is my grocery list: 

I did a grocery pick up on Saturday this week. The best part about this is that I don't have to get out of the car! I drive up and they bring it out to my car. They confirm with me and then open up the back of my suburban and load it all in there. That's it! 

Once I get home, I just make sure I have everything. I think only once, I was missing something. On the Walmart app, I start a return and they refund me right away. Also, If you don't like the quality of the item, they refund you as well. And if they have to substitute an item, you get charged the amount of the item you pick, unless its cheaper. I do notice that normally if I get a substituted item, the item that they used a better item. That works for me. 

Here is what I ordered this week

After I do a grocery pick up, I normally get a survey on how my grocery pick up way. I am completely honest, as this is the time for them to make their great service even better. Ready to make your own Meal Planner?
