I really enjoy Francine Clouden's scrapbooking layouts because she writes about the same content and ideas that I do. Her son is adorable, and she always seems to catch him at just the right moment. She recently posted a blog entry that used chevrons as embellishments, so I thought I would finally give in and try making some.
I found this youtube video by Jennifer McGuire at Studio Calico, and it looked so easy at first. I also found it so ideal for using up leftover scrap paper, especially the extra bits I have lying around from a poorly considered etsy buy (for the record, sewcolorfuldesigns DESTASH is a waste of money, even if it is only $2.50). The actual process was more time consuming and more difficult than it seems in the video, but sometimes it's nice to have something completely mindless and repetitive to do.
Once I was finished with the chevrons, it was a simple enough task to finish the rest of the layout. I really like how it came out. These two photos came from the same day as my last page. I loved Ben's silly expressions and his sweet antics.
