The Tuesday Ten | SheShe Design

6:47 AM Posted by Stacey , ,
I'm so excited for today's Tuesday Ten! I had a client back in December bring some Chalkboard signs to their Christmas Session (Thanks Amber) and they were created by SheShe Design. I fell in love. I started following Ashley on Facebook and Instagram and loving her work. I decided to have her make some boards for our Valentine Mini's and I LOVE them. (So much that I decided to purchase one and keep it in my house :) ) Today's post is by Guest Blogger Ashley, owner of SheShe Design

Hello, Friends!
My name is Ashley Grieder of SheShe Design.
{Wife, Stay at Home Mom, former Special Ed Teacher}
{Artist, Chalk obsessed, hand letter & lover of handmade + pretty things.}
Being creative is my passion & my family is my heart.©



For as long as I can remember I've loved to draw, paint and create. My parents still tell stories of finding my name and drawings on every piece of furniture that we owned.
I was accepted into the Art program at Utah State University and thought my path was set.
However, I found a passion for something else. I started a job working with adults with disabilities. I switched my major to Special Education and my pencils and brushes were put away…until…I became a Mom. Motherhood is the most fulfilling and creative thing I've ever experienced. I’m head over heels for Miss H. We decided that I would stay home to be with her. It wasn't easy to leave teaching but my job was now to teach her.

Now…this is where SheShe Design was born. Every month I would post an adorable picture of Miss H with a chalkboard that hung in her room.
The chalkboard was used in our wedding and was also in my classroom.



Through the power of social media, things started to snowball.
I did birthday boards for a few friends and wedding décor chalkboards.
In September, I decided to take a chance and open my Etsy shop.

Now that we’ve gotten better acquainted, let me introduce you to SheShe Design.

First, a big shout out and thank you to Stacey, for the opportunity to be featured on her blog.

For “The Tuesday Ten” I will be listing 10 SheShe Design Items. Some are listed in my Etsy shop and others are custom orders. If you see something you are interested in, all my information is listed at the bottom of this post.

1.      Sealed Chalkboard Art:
•All boards are custom cut pieces of solid wood, painted with black chalkboard paint.
•Hand Lettering designs are done with Crayola Anti-dust chalk and sprayed with a matte finish to make the chalk permanent and keep the chalkboard look intact.
•Each chalkboard is made to order and hand drawn just for you.
•Display suggestions: Boards look great on an easel, framed or I can attach a natural jute string for hanging



 2.      Chalkboard Prints:
Chalkboard prints are the perfect addition to your home décor or make the best gift. All designs are hand drawn on a chalkboard surface and digitally converted for printing. This allows you to have the chic rustic feel of a chalkboard without the dust.
Professionally printed on 100 lb. ultra white matte paper.
Available in black and white or color and sizes 5x7 or 8x10.
Printed locally in Utah. 
Framing & Display tips for Chalkboard Prints: To provide the most realistic chalkboard look with your print, frame the print without the glass. Place the glass behind the print to help support it. 
**Note: items are NOT an actually chalkboards.



 3.      Custom Orders:
•If you have a favorite quote or design in mind but don’t see it in my shop…No problem! A custom order can be done just for you.
•Describe what you want. The options are endless. I will sketch two ideas and then you can give me feedback on what you would like the final design to look like.
It's unlikely 😊 but if for some reason you don't like what I come up with, you can request an additional sketch for an additional charge.
•Payment is required before the design process begins.
