2018 Faves for Cocoa Vanilla Studio

Hello Hello! I'm back today with my last share for 2018. Seriously, another year is coming to an end and so its time to share my favourites from the last 12 months. HECK, I have a hard time choosing my favourite collections, let alone choosing the favourite creations I've made with them lol
Right O, first favourite of the year.... "Story of You" My multi photo layout from last month featuring the newest collection Midnight and a photo from every birthday Leila has had up to last years.



Next favourite... "Reading SuperSTAR" from July. I had so much fun creating this, even all that fussy cutting of the stars from the YOU ROCK collection papers.




I could keep going with favourites as I really do love everything I create, but will share one last one. "Loving Life" The intense rainbow creation from May that I created at the Creative Escape Retreat using Hello Sunshine. So much fun, so much fussy cutting, but oh so good!




Well friends, thats all from me today. I will be back with more to share in the new year, so until then thank you all for your kinds words throughout 2018. I look forward to sharing more creative inspiration in 2019.



Have a safe and happy holiday season!
oh and Happy Scrapping!

Live the life you Love | Cocoa Vanilla Studio

Hello Crafty friends! I have a new layout to share featuring the beautiful Midnight collection thats currently available in store now. You best snap it up real fast before it all disappears


I've gone with another super quick layout design today. And can I say I've been loving this style of scrapping, especially during this crazy season of life. The days fly by so quick that its hard to believe this sweet little human of mine has just turned 8! Looking forward to scrapping those photos with this amazing collection in the new year too.



To begin my creation I've used a full sheet of the SOPHISTICATED paper as the base then layered a few of my favourite patterns from the BLESSING, INSPIRED and 6x8 Paper pad with a doily and photo to create the main focal point on the page. Love this sweet face and she LOVES Luigi!



At the top right of the photo stack I've added a cluster of floral embellishments from the ephemera pack along with some stickers from both the clear set and accessory sheet. To give the pieces dimension I've added sticky dots to raise them up.



Next I added a few more floral pieces from the ephemera pack and sticker sheet. I layered these all together in a small cluster with a small strip of SOPHISTICATED paper and a phrase strip cut from the ALL THE THINGS paper.



Lastly I added another cut apart piece from the ALL THE THINGS paper to use as a title for the layout. It perfectly sums up the life this kid lives! I also added a few more floral pieces in a cluster to the right to balance out all the elements on the page. A little touch of hand written journalling, the date stamped to the right and a few splatters of gold ink and I felt it was done. Another memory recorded in the prettiest of ways.


Thanks so much for stopping by today, be sure to check back each day for more inspiration from all of us here on the Design Team.


Until next time, Happy Scrapping
