Scrap Box Saturday: Chevron Background

Hey everyone!

Happy Saturday! It's Scrap Box Saturday so I have another fun project for you using up my scraps :D Check out what I came up with:


How fun is that? This background was created using 1/2" strips I cut from my scraps and "braided" together. This sweet stamp is from the Unity Stamp Company "Love Never Fails" Itty Bitty! And I wrapped the card with some yummy Totally White Trendy Twine.

Would you be interested in a quick tutorial on how I did this chevron background? Let me know in the comments!!



Before I go, and just in case you missed it yesterday...


My card is a FINALIST in the Unity Creative/Color Challenge!!!! I am SO blown away! I CAN'T even describe to you what a chance to guest design for Unity Stamp Company would mean to me!!
