Chevron-ish

I still love a good chevron pattern, but I feel like trend has been around for awhile. That doesn't mean things need to get stale. Time to mix it up with my own take....

For this I used the Valley High Studio Calico kit (which takes some of the hard work out because all of the patterned papers are already co-ordinated to compliment each other) to create my own chevron-ish pattern....

As you can see I cut strips of paper 3 inches long, and all the same width. Then I laid them in a sort of "v" shape and added and added until I got enough for a background. Easy peazy, lemon squeezey. So it doesn't scream, CHEVRON!, but you kinda see it... right? I mean, unless I am totally off my rocker here. (totally possible).

I should also mention that I love these photos of them....

We were out for a picnic at Keenland on a random spring day, watching the airplanes fly in. It was a pretty simple and sweet day, yet one I will not soon forget. Smiles all around. Cute hats, tickles, play time..... I'm sure they will remember the chocolate pudding snack packs the most.
