Cocoa Vanilla Studio: Rad Boy!

Hi Creative Friends!

Welcome back for more stunning Cocoa Vanilla Studio inspiration!

It's stickers theme week over on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog,
and boy-oh-boy do I have a fun You ROCK layout to share with you today!
I have this super cute photo of my boy, aka the Rock Star, that was just perfect for today's share!
If you love scrapping the boys,
 or are just looking for more masculine layout inspiration,
then today's post is for you!
Here's my cool scrapbook page,

"Rad Boy" 

Isn't this striking, and oh-so much FUN?!!
I love the colour and pattern combinations in this design!
And let's not forget all those fabulous stickers!!!
So much awesome here, and that pie chart cut file (Free Cut file from Paper Issues) really lets those pattern papers shine against that CV-YR005 NIGHT SKY background paper. Love it!

Let's take a closer look at it all....

How cool are those FLAIR BUTTONS?!!
I love the senitments - Boys Rule, BOOM!!!
Such a perfect match for my Mister A for Awesome!
And while they're not officially a 'sticker' as such, they are still the best dimensional stick-on embellishment for masculine layouts! My faves!

But today is all about the stickers so let's here it for those amazing ACCESSORY STICKERS and CHIPBOARD ACCENT STICKERS! Yes! They totally rock!
To make mine stand out even more, I have positioned them inside their very own piece of the pie chart - very cool!!!
 I never tire of the typewriter font word stickers, and they're perfect if you're not a fan of your own handwriting too ;)
Here's a better look at those incredible CHIPBOARD ACCENT STICKERS ......

Aren't they the coolest?!!
Fun, bright, bold and striking!
As well as highlighting them in their own 'piece of pie', the stickers are also mounted on varying pattern papers from the You ROCK collection!
The blue chevron design of CV-YR009 GALACTIC (reverse side) really makes those white type font stickers 'pop'!
Similarly, the white base of ruled pattern paper, CV-YR005 NIGHT SKY (reverse side)  really allows those cool blue chippy stickers to be the hero!
In typical Cocoa Vanilla Studio fashion, everything coordinates so perfectly! LOVE it all!!!

Those CHIPBOARD ACCENT STICKERS are really something aren't they?
One In A Million indeed!
And that arrow! You'll also spy more fun arrows in pattern paper, CV-YR003 THIS WAY guiding your eye into my super cute boy photograph!
 Arrow-tastic!

And I can't not mention those luscious layers beneath my photo.....

Ooooh! So much paper & sticker goodness here!!!
You'll spy layers of patterned papers, CV-YR005 NIGHT SKY, and CV-YR006 RANDOM (both sides), as well as some fussy cut stars from CV-YR001 STARSHINE 
 In between those divine layers, are a few more super fun ACCESSORY STICKERS because, well,  you can never have too much awesomeness!
A few super cute RUBBER CHARMS complete the layout, and wow!
There you have it!
What an impact stickers can have on your projects!

I hope my masculine take on this weeks Stickers Theme has inspired you to get creating!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

til next time,

Happy Arty Days,

Cocoa Vanilla Studio: Wild at Heart - Hello Beautiful!

Hi everyone!

Welcome back for more Cocoa Vanilla Studio inspiration!

Today I am sharing a super pretty layout with the gorgeous Wild At Heart collection. 
As part of our DT theme assignments, I have been asked to include Vellum, Blooms, and Rubber Charms on my creation. Well, let's be honest - that's hardly a request! These products are SO gorgeous they were already on my layout before I even blinked! Lol!

Enough chatter, here's what I've created....

"Hello Beautiful"

Isn't this the prettiest?!!

I absolutely adore the bold colours and patterns in Wild At Heart! So very beautiful indeed! Love that diagonal arrangment too! So fun! That Vellum Sheet is so incredibly pretty, I just had to include it at both the top and base of my design - ga ga Gorgeous!!! But it's that divine bloom pattern paper, CV-WH009 MEMENTO, and its coordinating chipboard frame that really make me swoon!!! Combined with the Die Cut Ephemera blooms, this layout is just prettiness overload! All.The.Florals & Blooms! Gah!!!!

Here's a closer look......

That Chipboard Frame with the Memento pattern on it is just so striking! It really draws your eye into my treasured photograph! You'll also notice that the Die Cut Ephemera sentiments around my framed  image also feature that gorgeous floral design - very pretty!

Just look at those pretty Die Cut blooms!!!

With all those lovely watercolour wash effects in this line, it seemed only fitting that I add a little watercolour of my own to break up all that white. As I have used so many bold colours, I selected a very soft peach tone to provide warmth, balance and neutrality to my layout.  It really compliments the Rubber Charms that I have used too!

The Rubber Charms are a new addition to the Cocoa Vanilla Studio family, and I am LOVING them! Just check out the GORGEOUS one below....

So awesome, huh?! The Rubber Charms are really versatile, and add extra dimension and colour to your creations! Here's another.........

So very beautiful, indeed!

Check out the pretty hearts arrow! That is the cutest of all!

Adorable!

I also love that sweet flair button layered on the Ephemera bow. Such a lovely sentiment; perfect for my darling!

And there's that divine Vellum Sheet again! Subtle, but oh-so-stunning!

My title has been created with the Chipboard Stickers; I love that shade of indigo! And how cool is that cursive font?!!

Fabulous!

For the perfect finishing touch, just add Sparkles Enamel Dots....

Wild At Heart = Prettiness supreme!!!

And there you have it! 
My layout featuring Vellum, Blooms, & Rubber Charms! 
Hope it has inspired you to include these beautiful products in your next creation!
