Happy Camper | Cocoa Vanilla Studio | Great Escape

Here is a new layout for Cocoa Vanilla Studio using the beautiful Great Escape collection! I’ve been wanting to finish scrapping our visit to the Timanfiya volcano in Lanzarote. My little boy loves volcanos, especially the geysers, so seeing one in real life was such a fun experience!

The Great Escape collection was absolutely perfect for this memory. I used that gorgeous white woodgrain paper at the top, paired with those playful, colourful scallops to create a cheerful border. I lined up two of my favourite photos from the day alongside the ‘Adventure Awaits’ journaling card.

To balance the layout, I added a little embellishment cluster at the bottom featuring a cute mountain scene and a couple of cute journaling cards.

Happy scrapping!

Fabulous Books! | GoGo Getaway Challenge | Simple Stories Book Fair

 

This layout was created for a moodboard challenge at our recent GoGo Getaway Retreat, set by our onsite shop.

I used the fabulous Book Fair collection by Simple Stories to document my little boy’s World Book Day costume — he went as the Faraway Tree, and it was just too cute!

The moodboard was packed with inspiration, and I pulled in so many elements: an owl, books, a library card, pen pot, pencils, glasses, stars, handwriting, an apple, a journal, and lots of bold primary colours. Safe to say... I think I met the brief!

Happy scrapping

CREATE | For the Love of Pretty Paper Sketch | Simple Stories Crafty Things

 

June FTLOPP Sketch Challenge!

Here’s my take on this month’s For the Love of Pretty Paper Sketch — and I had so much fun playing with that open space in the middle!

I stuck fairly close to the original design but switched things up with portrait photos instead of landscape. I also added a big striped paper layer behind them, with rolled edges for some extra texture. And I’m loving the separate title cluster—such a fun change from my usual photo/title combos!

I used the Simple Stories Crafty Things collection, which was perfect for these photos of my daughter wearing a dress she made herself! 🧵💖

Have you joined the challenge yet? What do you think of the sketch?

Happy scrapping
