Just A Scrappin' Challenge #5: Chevrons, Anyone?

Hello and happy Thursday,

Chevrons are all the rage right now in the scrapping, crafting and fashion world. And at Just A Scrappin' we mean to take advantage of this hot, new trend. I will write that the paper for my flower pot is a chevron print; however, only in 12x12 mode do you see the true overall look (I wish I had the 6x6 paper pad). Enjoy the chevron fun.

Paper: Stampin' Up, MME (Lime Twist), DCWV, Recollection
Cart: Sweet Treats (flower)
Stamp: Peachy Keen and Stampin' Up (sentiment)
Twine: The Twinery

I have known my fabulous guy since we were college sweethearts. And now here we are 15 years later. He truly is a special man both inside and out. I love you with all my heart, Patrick! I hope your birthday is everything you want and more.

Love Always,

K

However, my vision was for naught and I scrapped the original in the end. The flower scrap card is the remains of an idea.

The butterfly thank you card is also a scrap and one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy. Thank you for stopping by.
