Hi everyone! Here is another layout for Cocoa Vanilla Studio
using the Happy Days collection. I decided to make ‘medals’ out of my photos on
this layout using those fabulous colourful stripes from the Sunshine Lollipops
paper.
I started off by gutting the little of the Sunshine Lollipops
paper, in order to preserve the outer edge: I can use this for a different
layout (I have a tendency to be a bit of a thrifty scrapper sometimes!). I then
cut apart the stripes from the gutted piece. I chose 7 stripes to use as a main
feature on this layout, and I distressed the edges of all of them, folded them
in half and also machine stitched down the middle of each one.
I then decided that a white background just wasn’t doing it
for me…and went looking for what patterned papers I could use for a background
instead. I settled on the B side of the Rainbow Bright paper, I love the white
with ditzy hearts and this was perfect to add some interest to my background. I
trimmed it down, distressed the edges and added it to a sheet of white to give
it a boarder.
I arranged my colourful stripes onto the background together
with my large photo which I cut into a circle shape. I cut three more smaller
photos into circle shapes too. From the offcuts of the colourful stripes, I
created little ribbons to add to the bottom of each photo – making them into ‘medals’
or ‘rosettes’. I also did this with a fussy cut frame from the Specialty Paper.
I added my photos to the layout together with Die Cut Ephemera
‘Amazing’ rosette. I then added small embellishments to each one: Floral
Ephemera, Chipboard Phrases, fussy cut words from the Definitive paper,
Chipboard Shapes, Puffy Stickers and phrase stickers from the Accessory
Stickers.
I finished off with a few splatters of white paint over the
colourful stripes and also handwrote in a few lines of journaling.
Thank you so very much for joining me today, I am really
pleased with how this layout turned out!
Happy scrapping
