My Boy | No Limits Collection | Lina Monaco
A big hello to all of you!
It’s Lina here and today I am sharing my first post and layout with Cocoa Vanilla Studio! I am so happy to be back designing for them, it’s (almost) like I never left! I had the pleasure of working with the brand new No Limits collection to document a set of photos of my adorable nephew.

I thought it would be fun to get inky and add some watercolour in the background. I used the Universal patterned paper as my base and worked from there adding bright blue paint and then muted it in certain places with white paint to add dimension and movement. I felt like the page needed to be grounded a bit after the watercolour so I added the Latitude patterned paper to add balance. I really enjoyed the combination of the two patterned papers layered together and feel they worked well with each other.
As my title, I used a cut file and backed it with papers from the A5 Paper Stack. The A5 Paper Stack is absolutely perfect for paper piecing in this case as I did not have to cut into entire 12×12 sheets of patterned paper and could continue to hoard the pretties 😉
Next, I played to my hearts content with all the fun and fresh embellishments. I used a combination of the Chipboard Stickers, Accessory Stickers, and the Die Cut Ephemera. And, for good measure, the Wood Buttons. I always love to make a little nest of thread and in this case gold metallic thread, for the wood button to sit in.

Lastly, a loving sprinkling of metallic gold paint for good measure and the layout is complete!
I hope you enjoyed my layout (and process video) today! I’m happy to be back on the Design Team and am excited to get started on the next layouts with this new No Limits collection. It’s surely a fantastic collection to have in a papercrafter’s repetoire.
Thanks a bunch for stopping by today!
