make your own chevrons and a challenge...

Are you up for some scrapbooking fun this weekend?

Cocoa Daisy is having a crop all weekend with challenges, mini classes and prizes! I was asked to guest design for them for November, so I played along with one of the challenges for the crop.

Here is my challenge if you want to play along: Create your own chevrons using my tutorial below on a layout or card!

Tutorial: make your own chevrons very quick and easy with a square punch...



Easy, right? You can see on my layout that I used this technique on the left side of the page and adhered them onto my page...then on the right side of the page, I used the same technique except I misted over the chevrons and removed them from the page, journaling over the design after it was dry. Love how it extends the chevron look!

I used the papers and stamp from the main kit and the Dear Lizzy tags from one of the add-ons to create the title work, then I journaled about things that make me happy today! I don't often do layouts about myself, so I really had fun with it.

Create a layout or card, or anything you dream up with this technique and post it over at Cocoa Daisy! We would love to have you play along with us!
