Practical Scrappers Blog Hop

Hi there, and welcome to the next stop on the Practical Scrappers Specialty Team hop!!  If you hopped here from Charity's blog, you are on the right track!  If you stumbled into the hop....make sure you pop over to Practical Scrappers to start from the beginning and complete all the stops....many prizes along the way, including a $25 gift certificate from Scrapbook Pal over at the Practical Scrappers blog (see details below).

Hope you are enjoying all these inspiring chevron projects!  I've got a couple of fun projects to share with you!  My first is this printer's tray made using the BoBunny Key Lime collection:

 

 

 If you haven't tried making a home decor piece like this....give it a try....they are so fun to
do!  And this collection is perfect for our chevron hop....it's got a great chevron print on
many of the papers, journal boxes and chipboard as you see on this project!  I'm lovin'
the chevron trend....aren't you?

Here are a couple of close ups of the tray: 

Here's the upper right corner....love the mix of chip, brads and die cuts....easy to mix and
match for a great embellishment!

Here's the bottom left corner....all kinds of embellishments happening....brads, chip,
stickers, and those colorful chevron accents--even on the chipboard pieces, and you
can see where I split one of the larger journal boxes into 2 and used it on each side
of a photo....a fun way to frame something when you are doing a printers tray:

And finally the bottom right corner....fun accents attached right to the tray to give it
more depth and texture:

My next project is a simple little card.....using these sah-weet chipboard chevrons from
UmWowStudio....love these things!

I made it using thinned black paint and a foam brush to splatter the kraft cardstock,
then painted the chipboard chevrons black.  The circles were punched from the
Fancy Pants Park Bench paper with a 1&1/4" Creative Memories punch.  The
words are from the FP sticker sheet from Park Bench as well.  The Rubber Cafe'
Scrap Happy Glue holds it all in place!  Fun simple card!
