Does anyone use chalk on their pages?

I have just started venturing out into the world of Scrapbook chalk and was wondering what the best kind to use is? I love the way it looks on pages and I have a layout coming up for camping pictures and I want to give the edges the "burnt" effect.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
 
I love chalk :) I have the Pebbles Inc pastel set and also some older set that has either 16 or 20 different bright colors (the name escapes me) in a clear plastic case. Ive come to prefer the pebbles set and *really* want their new metallic/iridescent/shiny set but the other set is several years old and is still in great condition (amazing how non of the chalks are broken...)

I've got the Craft-T chalk set & a smaller set by the same company that came out later. I think it's the same one that you have, Emily. I looked at the Pebbles set, but I can't really justify having two, lol.

I like using chalk for shading, especially for paper piecing. It really adds depth.

I resisted chalk for quite a while, preferring inking. When I finally gave in I really liked the different effects I got from chalk. You can get a soft dreamy look or a bold dark look depending on how you use it. I have the chalklets and thoug I like the quality of the chalk I don't like the large round containers. I would love the Pebbles chalk, but as a few have mentioned, I can't justify having two as they last a REALLY long time and are in good condition.
 

I've never heard of this before, would somebody who uses chalk mind posting a picture of one of their layouts that uses it? Or post a link to a picture on one of the scrapping sites? I must get off these boards and write that essay I'm supposed to be doing!
 
Thanks Emily! I love your layouts and the tags are really great!! I bought some chalk today, but haven't used it yet...I bought the Pastel ones and the primary color ones. I thought the Pastel might come in handy for Easter! :)

Thanks for the help, everyone! :)

Deluxe Chalks for Scrapbooking, Card Making and More!
Natural Set


*********** Important Read! ***********

These chalk sets are being sold AS IS. Some of them may have some chalk dust that has fallen on the applicators. Many do not. And there usually is some superficial transfer of one chalk color to another (small flakes of another chalk may have landed on another chalk). This is always just on the top layer and a few swipes with a Q-tip will and can remove all of it. Basically your getting a near perfect chalk set. Some are a little worse then others and I am just doing random selections. I place a foam sheet in each to keep any further damage being done during shipping. Most of the chalks I received are in near perfect condition, just some may be a little worse off, so I am not discriminating and am letting them go at a really low price. All chalk sets will have perfect cases (no broken hinges). Rarely are the chalks broken. No chalks will be missing. Sorry, no returns for these as these are a clearance, liquidation item. I assure you your chalks will still be perfectly usable and enjoyable.

The chalk set includes:

24 chalks, one chalk eraser, and 8 chalk applicators. These chalks are acid-free and non-toxic,
and can be used on your scrapbook or countless other craft projects.

These chalks retail @ $13.99
This chalk set is a clearance item, so get em'

These sets do seem to be priced about $12-16 at my LSS.....can't wait to try it out!

Shipping for 1 was $5.25 ish and 2 sets were $6.something-ish - Hence the total for the 2 sets above......will let you know what I think when they arrive.
