Wonderful Memories | Joyful | Josefine vd Hoeven

Hello Paperlovers, welcome to today’s scrapbook blog from Cocoa Vanilla Studio! I’m so thrilled to have you here. I’ve got another round of scrapbook layout inspiration for you, and this time it’s all about the Christmas spirit. For this layout, I’ve designed using the incredibly beautiful and adorable Christmas collection, “Joyful,” from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.

To start off, I cut a circle from the white cardstock sheet, which will serve as my base. I choose for a mint green patterned paper as the background for this Christmas ornament. I added a stitched border around the circle using white thread and my sewing machine. Placing the Christmas photo of my hubby and me in the center of the circle, I used red patterned paper as a backdrop.

I selected lovely embellishments such as puffy stickers, wooden buttons, cut-out flowers, and leaves for the clusters. I created a cluster beneath the photo and on the upper left side. Then, I made a bow from a soft light salmon-colored ribbon and attached it at the top of the circle. I also created a loop with the same ribbon to give it more of a Christmas ornament appearance. I positioned the die-cut “Oh what fun” between the bow and the loop, creating a delightful effect that draws more attention to the bow.

For the title “Wonderful Memories,” I used the golden words from the “Joyful” collection, complemented by a second gold alphabet from my own stash. I added a few small puffy stars here and there, followed by some festive splatters created with white gesso and Distress Oxide in the color “festive berries.”

I’m delighted with how my Christmas ornament turned out, and this fantastic Christmas collection adds that extra bit of sparkle to my December memories. I hope I’ve inspired you with this layout and wish you an wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. Cherish each other and create beautiful December memories.

XoXo, Jo
