Hey Hello awesome 2023 | No Limits | Legendary | Josefine van der Hoeven

Hey creative Paperlovers,

Welcome to the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog and Happy New Year! So glad to see you here.
It’s Jo and today I show you my first scrapbook layout for Cocoa Vanilla Studio of 2023!!

One of my absolutely favorite collections is “No Limits” and I think this collection is perfect for a Happy New Year scrapbook layout.

 

I start with a white piece of cardstock and cut out one big star shape with my “Cricut Maker”I used a standard star shape cutfile from Cricut. I choose a wood colored patterned paper and place it behind the white cardstock with the cut out large star. I stitch the edges of the star with light blue sewing thread.

 

I cut out some more stars from different pattern papers and I stitch the edges with light blue sewing thread. I place the stars in different places on the layout. I cut patterned paper to
size and place it behind the black and white photo. I place the photo on top of the stars and slide some more labels between the layers.
I grab a pair of scissors and fussy cut a few extra stars from the patterned paper. As you can see, I also used some patterned paper from Legendary. So great to see that both collections combine perfectly with each other. For the small circles I used a reinforcer punch. Along with the stars, I decorate the layout.
The title “Hey hello Awsome 2023” on the right side of the photo consists of several die-cuts, word strip and a silver alphabet from Thickers. I find it a fun and playful effect to combine a title with different alphabets, die-cuts or word strips. My layout is done and for a festive look I splashed some more with blue distress ink “faded jeans” and white gesso. This adds just a little extra dimension to my layout and I love it.
I hope I was able to give you some great ideas and wish you lots of fun creating beautiful projects with this beautiful and colorful collection! I want to thank you for stopping by on the blog today!
Happy crafting and have fun!
XoXo,
Jo
