Fun Times | Great Escape | Josefine vd Hoeven

Hello Paperlovers,

If you’re a fan of nature-inspired scrapbook layouts, you’ll absolutely love working with the “Great Escape” collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. This stunning outdoor-themed collection is perfect for capturing those adventurous moments, whether it’s a hike through the woods or a day spent exploring a new park. Recently, I created a layout using this collection, and I wanted to share the details with you.

For this particular layout, I decided to focus on one of my favorite elements: butterflies. Using the beautiful design papers from the “Great Escape” collection, I carefully cut out several butterfly shapes in various sizes. To add an extra touch of detail and dimension, I hand-stitched around the edges of each butterfly with white thread. This simple yet effective technique gives the butterflies a delicate, textured look that really stands out on the page.

Next, I turned to the paper die-cuts included in the collection. These die-cuts are absolutely gorgeous and incredibly versatile. I selected a variety of designs and arranged them along a horizontal line that runs across the layout. I made sure to align this line with the height of my photo, creating a balanced and cohesive design.

The final result is a layout that truly captures the essence of an outdoor adventure. The combination of the stitched butterflies and the playful arrangement of die-cuts adds both texture and visual interest, drawing the eye across the page. The “Great Escape” collection provided the perfect palette and elements to bring this nature-inspired scrapbook page to life.

Whether you’re documenting a weekend hike or simply celebrating the beauty of the great outdoors, Cocoa Vanilla Studio’s “Great Escape” collection has everything you need to create a stunning scrapbook layout. Happy crafting!
