Cocoa Vanilla Studio: The Best

Hello Happy Arty Days Friends!

How's your 2016 Summer holidays?

I've been trying to keep up-to-date with printing and scrapping my photos... LOL!

Let's be honest, I'm still playing catch up on last year's memories! But I have been using the new Hello Sunshine collection to record it all ;)

Here's a peak at one of my fave photos (& now layout) from 2015 -

"The best"

I know, where do I start?! So many lovelies going on here!

Sweet Summer Days indeed!

I love all the brightly coloured pattern papers in Hello Sunshine, that I wanted to show them off a lil more. As in, both sides of the papers on the one page. So I guess I tried to channel some origami paper folding love with the SOLAR FLARE paper.

CV-HS002 SOLAR FLARE 

I also really love the fun & playfulness of the patterns too - so I just had to feature the paper CHILL OUT

CV-HS004 CHILL OUT

Very cool! & tons of fun for my happy subjects!

Here's a closer look at that faux origami....

Yes, I did 'staple' it into place. I do like the odd staple.... OK, I totally LOVE using my stapler on my scrapbook layouts! It not only holds things in perfect position, but also adds a more relaxed and fun feel. Staples can also create interest, texture and dimension. Anyways, moving on from the stapling, I also tucked a couple ticket stub stickers, journal sticker and an enamel shape under the fold. This really draws attention to that cute fold. Love it!

Let's take a closer look at some of the other pretty embellishments I've used today....

Puffy stickers. Need I say more?! How fabulous are those puffy script words - LOVE!!!

I am also loving those super pretty blooms, the colours are just stunning! But it's the wood veneers that have me on this layout - Sooooooooooo COOL! (that bicycle is just awesome sauce!!!)

 And let's not forget those sweet embellishments that really create a 'finished' look for all your layouts; Fancy Buttons, Woodies and Enamel Shapes.

Yep. I may be behind in my Summer scrapping, but with a collection being this easy to create with, it wont take me long to fill an album :)

Loving Hello Sunshine, and I am sure you will too!

Thanks for visiting,

til next time,

Happy Arty Days,
