100% Awesome | Cocoa Vanilla Studio

Hello Scrappy friends! I'm back today with a new layout share for Cocoa Vanilla Studio featuring the cool Boys Rule collection. Still loving the challenge that this collection is giving me each time I dip in and get creative, but loving that theres still so much to use for scrapping photos of girls. It's awesome!

For this layout I've scrapped a photo of Leila from a few weeks back when we ventured out to SUPA TRAMP for the very first time. The photo quality isn't great, but still one that I wanted to document as Leila had so much fun running from one area to the next. She can't wait to get back there on the School holidays.

To start the layout I grabbed the 12x12 die cut and background specialty paper and went about creating something different to what the other DT members have created so far. I chopped the die cut piece in uneven halves, then fussy cut the stars from the backing piece and stapled them to the die cut piece. I then stuck them to the cardstock using some foam tape to lift them up and add dimension.

Next I grabbed the Miscellany pack that contains a few different polaroid style frames, and chose the one that has a mixed media look that blended with all the stars. I layered this over the fun photo of Leila, and added some white alphas form the Colour me Happy collection to create the start of my title.

This would have to be one of the very few times I've created the full title before embellishing the remainder of the layout. I dipped into the Ephemera pack for the word 'Awesome' and the blue star, then back into the Miscellany pack for the 100% piece that also had the word boy on it, but I chopped it off as it wasn't relevant to this creation. I also added some stickers from the Accessory sheet and a clear star from the new Clear stickers pack.

At the top of the photo I added a die cut arrow from the ephemera pack, the 'oh yeah' sticker from the accessory sheet and then some clear stickers to finish the cluster of embellishments off. Theres also the addition of the black star from the accessory sheet that I've used around the page to bring it all together in a visual triangle of sorts.

Over on the right side of the layout Ive added a couple of different stickers, some die cut pieces and a chipboard star to balance out the embellishments and colours around the layout. Loving that 'one cool kid' sticker.

Lastly a closer look at the slight dimension that foam tape has given to these stars. So awesome!

Well thats all from me today, I hope you've enjoyed seeing my way of using the super cool new die cut and backing sheet.

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
