Scrap the Boys Design Team - January Challenge

Happy New Year! And happy new Scrap the Boy challenge! January sees a fun colour challenge to start the new year and the new decade:

The Boys Rule collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio was the perfect match for this colour challenge. I used the B side of the Entitled paper as the background and the Balloon cut file from COAPA (https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/724625067/balloons-cut-file-svg-pdf-png?ga_search_query=balloon&ref=shop_items_search_2) which I bumped up on foam to add dimension and be able to add the sequin shakers. The sequins are a blue mix and gold stars I picked up in the Black Friday sales from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. I used the 6x8 paper pad to back the photo and the balloons (these are bumped up on double foam for extra dimension). I used a mixture of the die cut ephemera, accessory stickers and flair buttons to embellish the layout and finished it off with some gold splatters (Heidi Swapp color shine) and enamel dots from the Colour Me Happy collection.

March Challenge - Scrap the Boys

Image
With the March Challenge being sponsored by Cocoa Vanilla Studio, my mind went straight to the latest boys collection 'Boys Rule'. I had only used this collection to complete 2 layouts before tackling this challenge, therefore I had a wonderful range of products to choose from! This layout was inspired by Anna Komenda's gorgeous layout using the 'Midnight' collection, that I swooned over from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio instagram account  https://www.instagram.com/p/BuYY1TNltfv/ I use a light blue Faber-Castell Gelatos and Heidi Swapp colour shine in Seafoam for the mixed media background. The Happy Go Lucky paper is the border paper, which is machine stitched onto white Kaisercraft cardstock that has been coated in clear Mont Marte gesso. The photo is backed with the Expressionist paper and I have used a range of all the embellishments from the chipboard pieces, miscellany, die cut ephemera, accessory and clear sticker sheets. This layout come together rela

May Challenge - Scrap the Boys

Image
I knew I had the perfect photo for the Scrap the Boy challenge this month, however with a slump in my creative mojo I did struggle to know where to start in creating a layout. I checked out the Design teams creations and took some inspiration from the lovely Melinda Sweetmans layout. I found a beautiful cut file from the CUTtoYOU esty shop called 'Flower Crown', created by Gwen Wruck and pulled out a range of Cocoa Vanilla Studio supplies to create this: The background paper is the B side of 'Full Bloom' from the 'Hello Sunshine' collection. The light woodgrain was speckled with Heidi Swapp colour shine in gold before adding the cutfile bumped up on some craft foam. I backed the flowers of the cutfile with the beautiful pink 'Hip Hooray' paper from the 'Make a Wish' collection and the leaves were backed with scraps from my stash. I used the ephemera from the 'Colour me Happy' collection to create the title 'Sweet smiling fac

    This months challenge is all about mixed media. Although I love the look of mixed media and have a fair amount of supplies, I'm not great at using it on my scrapbooking layouts. But I enjoyed getting messy like Sebastian did in the photos I'm scrapbooking.
