How would you like to win a little mini kit, similar to the one shown, packed full of chevron and other goodies?  All you have to do is participate in the Paper Issues blog hop that starts today and goes for two weeks. Each creative team member will be giving away a kit on their blog as well as the Paper Issues blog so you have lots of chances to win!  All you have to do to win this kit is leave me a comment and follow my blog if any of my projects have inspired you!

Have you been to the Paper Issues blog or etsy store? It's a really great concept because we all have paper issues, right?  Well Paper Issues is an inspirational blog that has a new "issue" every two weeks. Anyone can link up your old or newly created project for the current theme for a chance to be featured or to get some extra traffic to your blog too. The theme this week is SHOW ME YOUR CHEVRON!

Now let me share a bit of CHEVRON projects I've been working on and a coupon code to the Paper Issues store.

So this first layout is the 1-page layout we will be doing in my May class at Scrappin' Savvy. April's class is using the My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart "Be Amazing" collection as seen HERE and May will be using the Echo Park "Charming" collection, as seen below. If you can't make my class, you can get this Echo Park This & That "Charming" collection on the Paper Issues etsy store at 20% off using coupon code: HEATHER 

Supplies:
Echo Park This & That collection: THC26010 Numbers, THC26013 Border Strips, THC26014 ElementStickers, THC26015 AlphaStickers, Brown/white twine from The Twinery, Studio Calico Mr. Huey mists in Estate Green, Pony and Piglet, misc. buttons, Sew Stamper tool

We'll also be creating this 2-page layout and a notepad cover (not pictured). Again, you can get the supplies to make this on the Paper Issues etsy store using the 20% off coupon code: HEATHER

 If you look closely at the background cardstock, you can faintly see a chevron print. I made that using a Crafter's Workshop mask and mist.

Lastly, I made this card using photo corners to make the chevron pattern. I posted the DIY  instructions HERE.

Remember to leave a comment and follow my blog (if you liked what you saw) for a chance to win the mini kit I am giving away. Make sure to visit the other ladies to increase your chances of winning:

Two Toots! Ha ha, that just makes me giggle!!!

I don't think I have ever blogged here without a crafty reveal but there's a first time for everything especially when it benefits my readers, right? 

First, I'm excited to say that I have joined the Creative Team at Paper Issues.

New themes are posted every month and all you have to do is link up your projects, which will help drive more traffic to your blog!!!  This is all about networking and getting your projects out to people who may not otherwise see them AND you can see other people's projects too. The next theme will be announced tomorrow so make sure to check the Paper Issues blog and link anything up (old or new) that matches the theme.

In addition, Cassie has a scrapbooking shop that she keeps filled with the latest and greatest scrappy products and she's offering all my friends a 20% discount each and everytime you shop her store with my code HEATHER. You can use it on an ongoing basis to get 20% off your order and I get credit for everything you purchase!  She is always adding new goodies, including new CHA releases, so check back often as your needs arise. 

Okay, my second news is that my Snuggle Bug layout was featured in the February Bella Buzz (by Bella Blvd) newsletter.  I earned the title of Fan Favorite.  You can view and download the February 2012 issue HERE.
