Cocoa Vanilla February Challenge

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing my entry into Cocoa Vanilla Studios February Challenge. This month's challenge is a mood board. I've taken the champagne glasses portion of the mood board as inspiration for my colour scheme which worked well with the Love Always collection. 

 

Here is my layout plus the mood board.

Scrap the Boys June Challenge

 Hi everyone! It's finally winter here in the southern hemisphere and let's just say that it's hit with a bang!

Today I'm sharing my entry into Scrap the Boys Challenge for June. This month's theme is "Me & My Best Friend". Originally I was going to use a photo of my nephew Matthew with his puppy dog Jazz, but remembered I had taken some of him with one of his horses Danni. Matthew loves animals and this photo really captures that special bond he has with his horse. I've used Cocoa Vanilla Studio's "Boys Rule" Collection for my layout and wooden title from Kaisercraft.

Here is my layout plus close ups so you can see how I've embellished the page.

Anna Komenda Cocoa Vanilla Classes at The Crafty Chain

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing some class layouts that I did back in May at The Crafty Chain. Anna Komenda came all the way from Poland to teach these classes at the Cocoa Vanilla Studios Retreat and also at The Crafty Chain. I ended up doing all three classes, some classes had two layouts. It was a very long day!

Here are the finished layouts along with a customary selfie with Anna.

Scrap the Boys May Challenge

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing my entry into Scrap the Boys Challenge for May.

This month the theme is "Mother's Day" celebrating as a mother, grandmother, godmother can be in the photo along with the boy/man in your life.

I chose this fun photo I had taken with my nephew Matthew, we were always goofing around as best friends. Our bond was very special, he even said that he wished I was his mum. For this layout I have used papers and ephemera from Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Midnight Collection.
