Merry & Bright | Cocoa Vanilla Studio

Happy New Year friends!

Today I have a Christmas themed layout to share with you using the awesome Cocoa Vanilla Boys Rule collection! With all of the stars in this collection, and the pops of bright green, it was perfect for creating a Christmas layout! I couldn't wait to documented this photo that I took of Isaac on Christmas Day. He looked so handsome, and I just love his genuine happy smile!


I started my layout off by fussy cutting lots of the stars out of the background sheet from the die cut & backing kit! I'll use the die cut piece on another layout, so this way I'm getting two layouts out of the one kit! I also freehand cut a few stars of various sizes out of patterned papers, and I used some of the die cut and chipboard stars as well. I scattered them all across the middle of the layout.


I added a couple of layers behind my photo using frames from the die cut ephemera pack, as well as the miscellany one. I then adhered my photo using foam tape to give it some extra dimension.


For my title, I used a die cut title from the Midnight collection, combined with a wood veneer word from my stash. I added a few lines of journaling underneath the title.


You can see here how I adhered some of the stars with foam tape, so that they would have varying heights. I love the dimension that this adds!


I finished the layout off by adding a few thin strips of patterened paper across the top and bottom edges of the layout, and I also added a few little word stickers around the page.

Thanks so much for joining me here today! I'll be back later in the month with another project to share with you!
