Hair-Mazing | No Limits Collection | Laura Alberts

Hey y’all! Laura Alberts back again with another layout using the stunning new No Limits collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio! I absolutely love the versatility of this collection. I’ve used it for boy layouts, this is a teen layout, and I have plans for a baby layout! One of the many reasons I love Cocoa Vanilla designs is that they are so easy to use. This star explosion design was a lot of fun and uses the Big Bang patterned paper as a background with the Orbit patterned paper as a border. Loving this space theme!

Bursting out from behind my photo of my teenagers are a plethora of stars fussy cut from the 12×12 and A5 paper stack versions of the Nebula patterned paper. Having both sizes gives me a wide variety of stars to use as I scattered them out from the photos. Largely, I followed the lines on the Big Bang paper, but for some of the small stars, I just placed them randomly. To get a little pop of red on the page, I punched some tiny stars from the multi-colored stripe paper and added a word phrase from the cut-apart sheet.

For an extra pop, I used alpha dies on the A5 bright green patterned paper, then matted my photo with the same paper. Loved going a bit silly with this title as I point out the distinctly different styles my two oldest kids have. One has gone for super short with a shaved undercut and the other is growing super long hair! Love that! This title is an homage to their amazingly unique senses of style. To finish off this layout, like I always do, I added gold Nuvo and splattered with gold ink spray.

I hope this layout inspires you to give an explosion layout style a go! To see how the ‘Hair-mazing’ layout came together, check out the process video below:
