Road trip to LA | Hap[py Days | Josefine ven der Hoeven

Hello Paperlovers,

Welcome to Cocoa Vanilla Studio’s blog, and how wonderful that you’re looking for new scrapbook inspiration. Today, I’ve created a new scrapbook layout using the amazing and colorful “Happy Days” collection designed by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. These vibrant colors really give your layout that summery feel. I love to use this photo of my daughter on the Beverly Hills boulevard and chose to use a cut file from the Cricut store, I absolutely love this Destination Icon. I thought it was quite fitting the theme.

I cut the file from the beautiful yellow patterned paper of the “Happy Days” collection and placed the photo in the open center. I stitched the edges with white thread, using my sewing machine. I positioned the Destination Icon in the center of the 12×12 white cardstock sheet, which I’m using as my base.

I created flower clusters on the bottom left and top right corners. I used the die-cut flower shapes but also fussy-cut some flowers from the matching patterned paper of the “Happy Days” collection. I also cut out some butterflies and placed them around the flower clusters. I selected some fun die-cut shapes like the flag and the camera and giving them a place among the flowers.

For the title, I used the elegant puffy titles from the “Great Escape” collection. The title I’ve chosen for this scrapbook layout is “Road trip to LA. I added some splatters with white gesso, which I mixed with water, and also splattered some of my yellow distress ink “Fossilized Amber.” around the flower clusters.

I hope I’ve been able to inspire you with this layout and look forward to seeing you again on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog next time. Have a wonderful and creative day.

XoXo, Jo
