You are my World




This layout come together so quickly for me and was really fun to create. The cut file is from Cut to You and was one of the first Kit to You releases, meaning you not only receive the cut file, but also in depth instructions on how create the layout. When I saw this cut file I knew that I needed to use it to record this sweet photo of my son Sebastian climbing trees.

I used the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Unforgettable collection as part of the Kitaholic Kits monthly subscription, which includes some exclusive pieces. 
I started by backing the World word of the cut file with the Sprightly paper from the 6x8 paper pad. I also backed the hearts with two papers from the 6x8 paper pad that are the B sides of the Unscripted and Pretty Bits papers. The base paper of the layout is called Natural Beauty and I used watered down white acrylic paint to splatter on the background. I felt like this gorgeous woodgrain paper would balance out the rest of the somewhat feminine elements. I really used the kit instructions as a jumping off point when adding the embellishments and made it my own. To finish off the layout I tore the woodgrain paper on the top left and bottom right corners, stapled back the edges and backed it with the beautiful Glorious paper. 

I hope this layout inspires you to get creating.

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

Scrap the Boys Design Team - April Challenge

Image
I had a lot of fun creating this layout for the April Scrap the Boys challenge. I took inspiration from the dinosaurs and sprinkles in this image: I used the Dinosaur Background cut file from COAPA , cut in white card stock and sprayed with Distress Oxide Spray in twisted citron. I mounted the cut file on foam tape and created 5 shaker pockets with various sequins from my stash.  I used the Cocoa Vanilla Boys Rule collection to create this layout.  The Messed Up paper is the background and I used a mix of the ephemera, cut apart sheet and stickers to embellish the layout. The title was created using some mini puffy alpha stickers from the Everyday Musings collection by Pinkfresh Studio. I finished the layout by adding sequins in the top left and bottom right corners to draw the eye diagonally across the layout.   I hope you can take some inspiration from this layout and head over to end this months challenge at Scrap the Boys .
