Get away in paradise | Sunkissed Layout | Anna Komenda
Hello Cocoa Vanilla fans! It’s Anna here with my first ever page made with new “Sunkissed” collection. I got it few days ago and I am so in love with all those colors and funny motiffs. You all know I love rainbows and this line looks like it was made specially for me. However, with all new collections on my desk I feel intimidated to cut into those untouched papers and my mind is floaded with many ideas, so I can’t decide where to begin. And we all know this feeling about using up your precious stash – I won’t use it because I won’t have it anymore :). So I like to start lightly with a simple page made with small amount of papers, or none papers at all like I did here.
“Sunkissed” collection contains of 12*12 papers, 6*8 paper stack and set of pocket cards and this is the product I decided to start with. All the fun patterns and colors shrunk to 3*4 size, ready to be put on the page. I picked 6 of them with solid backgrounds and arranged them on my white cardstock. They are my anchors for 6 square photos.
I live in Poland, Europe, and we don’t have tropical summers here nor palm trees. So whenever I get a chance to spend some time in more warm climate I feel like I travelled to paradise. I get so excited seeing all the tropical plants as they are so different to what I see every day outside my window. And what can be better than spending weekn in paradise? Spending this week with a bunch of fantastic ladies during CVS Creative Escape cropp. I had this wonderful opportunity in 2019 and I cherish all those memories so much. Venue is such a beautiful place with amazing beach. I consider this week as one of the best weeks of my live and I love going back to those memories and scrapbook them.
I decorated each pocket card with photo and bits and pieces from ephemera pack. This collection is special because it has two different packs: with regular elements and with flowers. So many amazing elements to choose from! I also added few stickers as they are always a perfect match with every project. And puffy stickers??? They are to die for! Such a great quality and fantastic motiffs.
My title is a combination of golden foam title stickers and some letters from my stash. In my opinion glitter can be combined with every line and you can never have too much of it. My yellow splatters in the background are also shiny thanks to the pearl mist but it’s hard to showcase this on photos. I am so happy Zoe decided to make those foam titles!
I honestly can’t decide which product from “Sunkissed” collection is my favorite. They are all so fresh, colorful and fun!
I hope this page will help me break this “too pretty to use” blockade and I will have another fun page with this line to share with you next time we meet here. Thank you so much for stopping by and see you soon <3
