Today there's a new thought up at Thinking*Through*Design! This thought is on chevrons, which I think is a totally AWESOME topic because chevrons are so popular right now-- and not just in the scrapbook world!
Here's my "thought":
"I love using chevrons in my scrapping, especially since they are one of the hot trends right now! I don't have a chevron diecut, so I decided to combine several chevron printed papers. I sketched out my layout to begin with, and used the large circles as focal points of the layout. I used the lighter chevron print (yellow) for the large circle and the bolder pink chevron design for one of the smaller circles. The paper collection I used for this layout is the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook line from American Crafts. There is a lot of doodles in this line, so I added a lot of my own doodles to thie page, namely the title! After I finished the page, I thought the chevron design needed to be a little more prominent on the page, so I doodled some large chevron designs on the background and added some stickles to a couple of the chevrons."

Beautiful page Heather and awesome use of the chevrons! I love that you used the chevron paper for the circles and the background looks great. The Sketchbook collection is one of my favorites this year!!

ReplyDeleteyou know I'm a sucker for stitching...but include the chevron technique?! get out!!! I love this LO! really great work!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is genius to stitch on your chevrons! The design is subtle on that paper and the stitching moves your eye around the page. Awesome photo too!
ReplyDeleteI love the layering of the chevron patterns and variety! Some of so bold and others, very subtle. Such a beautiful layout!
