Make A Wish & Take Me Away with Imaginarium Designs

Hi Everyone!

Time for another monthly dose of Imaginarium Designs chipboard inspiration!
I've got a couple of gorgeous, bright and colourful layouts to share - including another of my boy/girl double pages - so let's get straight to it!

First up, I am using the new Cocoa Vanilla Studio: Make A Wish collection

to show off some fabulous chippie phrases and shapes....

Isn't this stunning?!!

A really cool double pager that also works as two single layouts!

I've used a few of my fave phrases as well as some hearts & stars to embellish with.

Bright, playful pops of colour and a real fresh, modern & contemporary feel. Love it!

Let's look at each layout separately.....

"You Smile With Your Heart"

So pretty!!! Girly and feminine without being too cutesy now (she's growing up!) LOL!

I've used Versa Ink in (the very hot) Opera Pink to really make my title pop.

NOTE: I use this brand of ink a lot as it gives real depth of colour - even if I don't apply a coat of gesso to my chipboard before applying.

I love how this colour, and chippie phrase, dictate the tone and feel of the page!

Here's a closer look at that stunning phrase...

So exquisitely cut!

And how about those super cute hearts.....

Perfect for an embellishment cluster, or as an alternative sequin/enamel dot scatter!

The lower heart has been inked with Petal Pink to balance out all the hot pink and add a little interest. Very sweet, indeed!

A pretty embellishment for any gorgeously girly creation!

Enough of the girl talk - let's take a look at my boy version of this layout.....

"Wild At Heart"

Could he get any cooler?!! Such a rad little guy!

This time I've used Versa Ink: Sea Foam for my title, subtitle and most of the stars. The remaining stars are inked in Saffron Yellow. I love the solid, matte finish the ink provides!

Let's take a closer look.....

How awesome is my subtitle, "Happy"?! Perfect for my subject & I must mention my layered star!

I love the look of layering your chipboard and ephemera together. I've mounted mine too, to really stand out and draw you into my photo.

In the image below, I've mounted a smaller star onto a larger one to create a cool embellishment.....

But it's my title that is totally awesome....

Wild At Heart - he sure is!

Seriously though, another awesome phrase that's cut to perfection!

Love it!

My last layout for today is another gorgeously bright and happy page created with the new

Pink Paislee: Paige Evans: Take Me Away collection,

"Little Things Big Memories"

Love this! It just screams fun!!!

And truly, sometimes the littlest moments leave the biggest imprints on us - this phrase sums it up to a tea!

I've drawn on the very bright & colourful patterned paper to inspire my chipboard treatment.

Bold, fun and happy!!!

Let's take a closer look.....

I love the use of multiple fonts in this phrase - it makes it really versatile to use!

(& yes, it's hot Opera Pink again!)

The hearts are just the cutest little finishing touch embellishment...

SO sweet!!!

How cute is the heart decorated with a lil button?! Love!!!

Cocoa Vanilla Studio: Love Always Double Layout & A Class!

Hi Cocoa Vanilla Studio Friends!

Welcome back! Today I am super-dee-duper excited to be sharing my first creation with the all NEW

LOVE ALWAYS Collection!

This collection is just so incredibly pretty that my only words for it are 'swoon' and 'sigh' - it's that stunning!

Needless to say, I immediately fell head over heels with Love Always!

So, instead of creating one layout for you today, I've created two! And the clever part, they also work as a double layout! But enough chatter, here they are.....

"Love Is the Closest Thing We Have To Magic"

I know, sweetness overload! Could this collection be anymore delicate and divine?!! I don't even know where to start - it's just SO precious!

So many pretty elements and those pattern papers; swoon!!!

I've used the reverse side of Twin Set (that fine stripes paper) as the neutral base for both my pages, but then opted for a pretty pink paper for my girl page (Class Act) and a soft blue paper for my boy (Note To Self). I've connected both pages with even cut apart pieces from the Lovely Things paper too! Simply stunning!

Despite the two layouts mirroring one another, there are a few different features on them - so let's take a look at each one individually. Let's start with ladies first.....

*sigh* Isn't this darling?! She is such my little lady!

I am a bit of a sucker for soft, delicate girly layouts. The soft pinks, those vellum shapes and chipboard stickers are just so pretty I can't take my eyes off of them! You stole my heart indeed!

How intricate (& divinely gorgeous) is the vellum doily......

I love the tiny heart details in the doily which compliment the hearts throughout Love Always. A very sweet detail!

The chipboard stickers are my new favourite embellishment though - just look at those frames I've layered with my photo! And that geometric heart is too cute!

You'll spy lots of vellum blooms on this layout too! So very sweet and delicate - a bit like my subject in the photograph!

As for all those sequins, blingy bits, resin roses and button - they all come from the Bits & Pieces embellishment packet. An absolute must have item as it has a lil bit of everything in it for adding that special finishing touch to your creations.

The 'You stole my heart' and 'Always' cards have been cut from the patterned paper Lovely Things. These would be fabulous for pocket page scrapbookers too!

And how about that sweet cluster at the bottom of my layout.....

Oh that's pretty! That tiny rose bud just accentuates those gorgeous vellum blooms - LOVE!

"Love is the closest thing we have to magic" has been snipped in half and shared across the two layouts to keep them connected and relative to each other. Speaking of other layout, here it is.....

Isn't he just aodrable?!! He always has me at hello! As this is the masculine version of my pretty girl page, I've added more depth of colour to the mixed media background, and featured the blues (and more of the greys) through the embellishments. How sweet is that chipboard sticker flag? And those frames are all kinds of awesome!

I've still used a little bling on the page from the Bits & Pieces embellishment packet, but opting for more dots over hearts. I'm also using a few stars in the chippie stickers to add a bit of balance too!

How cool is the lower cluster too?! I've used the coordinating "O" sticker to keep with the circles and dots on the page - but also to connect the two pages with an "XO" .....
