Shine Bright | Unforgettable Collection | Melissa Vining

Hello, its Melissa here and I’m so happy to be back for another Throwback Thursday layout!! I love Throwback Thursday because it enables me to dive into my stash and work with some older Cocoa Vanilla products.  I decided to go into my stash and work with the first older collection (as in not from 2021) that I came across – hence the beautiful Unforgettable Collection!  The photo is the offical school photo of my 7 year old daughter for this year.

I find school photos challenging to scrapbook because of the size of the photo, and often the colour tones that I can’t alter because the photos come printed. I decided to use “Natural Beauty” for my background, and I also layered up “Forget Me Not” and “Lacewing”.  I used my scallop edge punch for extra texture.  For my photo I fussy cut out the floral edges on one of the cut apart cards on “Story Teller”.  I also used embellishments from the “Die Cut Ephemera”, Accessory Stickers and “Flair Buttons”.

I decided to use several of the “Clear Stickers” and I layered them in two positions next to my photo to provide a minimal mixed media look.  I love how they look!

I created my title with one of the phrases from the Foam Title Stickers.  I finished my layout with some black ink splatters.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create layouts and projects with Unforgettable.

Take care

Melissa xx
