Daydream flairs

Oh You | Daydream | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends today I have a 8.5 x 11 inch layout to share with you using Daydream collection. There is nothing cuter than a baby themed layout and Daydream has enough elements to create this theme.

I love this clipboard cut file (available in the Silhouette design store) and wanted to frame my photos in a unique way. I cut two, the first to add my photo and the second which is smaller to add journalling. The woodgrain paper for the clipboard. I used the Daisy Days paper using the blue daisy side on the larger clip board and the reverse side on the smaller one. I added machine stitching to these two paper pieces and added to the woodgrain paper piece. I then added to my clipboard with foam tape to add dimension.

I used the Accessory Sticker sheet to add my journalling to the smaller clipboard. I tucked two small floral die cuts and then layered a moth over the top with foam tape. I added the clip with foam tape and finished off by adding two tiny flowers and a paintbrush stroke clear sticker under this embellishment cluster.

I added another layer of paper on the larger board, adding a paper square behind my photo (which is 3×3 inches). I added my photo with foam tape again to add dimension and tucked a tab under the top of the photo. I created a large floral embellishment using die cut ephemera cluster, layering and adding foam tape to some of the flowers. As my photo has some negative space I added a cute flair.

Before adding the clip to the top of the board I added an eyelet and threaded a heart charm. Lastly I added my title.

I used die cut titles to create part of my title, so these did not appear ‘flat’ I added with foam tape. I just had to add puffy hearts and created the other part of my title using a die cut phrase.

I love how this layout turned out with the beautiful rich colours, texture and dimension. Baby collections can be limiting in use so being able to use a collection that lends itself to a variety of themes is great and Daydream is that collection.

Thank you for stopping by today and I have a feeling that my next few layouts maybe all boy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyday Family Moments | Daydream | Rachel Lowe

Recently my cat of 18 years passed away. Although she was old it still hurt my heart greatly and when looking back at old photos I realised that I had not taken enough photos of her through the years. We often take everyday moments for granted and losing her reminded me that photographing and documenting everyday moments is just as important as life highlights. I have used the beautiful Daydream collection and with her being a ginger cat the colours in this collection were perfect.

I found my title in the Silhouette Design Store. I used the off set function (if you have a Silhouette Cameo) to create depth to it and creating light/shade by using these two papers, All A Flutter and Happy Place. I finished off adding some of the tiny flowers from the ephemera die cut pack.

I tore three paper strips from the All A Flutter Daisy Days and Garden Variety papers. I love the texture torn paper strips gives your layout. As I had chosen a busy paper I chose not to mat my photo (5×6 inches) but adding with foam tape to give it height.

Despite using the floral papers I went ahead and added two floral bunches on each side of my photo, not only does this frame my photo it allows you to layer with foam tape large florals so they stand out. Adding green foliage also adds impact and draws your eye.

I created some journalling by using words from the Accessory Sticker Sheet and the beautiful rainbow flair, I added some gold thread behind the flair to add a little sparkle!

I typed her name and dates slightly under the torn paper strips. (if your wondering why she had a boys name is because we assumed that as ginger cats are mostly boys, the vet later let us know ‘he’ was a ‘she’, a bit late to change the name lol!!) I added some butterflies from the die cut ephemera pack.

I finished my layout off adding one of the beautiful Puffy Hearts with a little more gold thread added.

Thank you for stopping by today!

The Good Life | Daydream Collection | Melissa Vining

Hi everyone, its Melissa here and I’m so happy to be back with you sharing another layout!! I put up a poll on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Facebook page asking whether I should use the Daydream collection or the Sunkissed collection. Daydream won, and I was happy to use it as I had an idea for the Stepping Stones paper. I decided to scrapbook a photo of my kids on Sam’s 14th birthday in March of this year.

When I saw Stepping Stones I always had a plan to cut it into strips and recreate an organic rainbow shape with it. I’d been waiting for the perfect photo, and it turned out way better than I ever imagined!! I cut the strips roughly so they weren’t perfect, and then used a side plate to line up my first row of strips. I alternated the colours to include all of the strips from the paper. I machine stitched my last row to secure them.

I only adhered the centres of the strips with liquid glue to enable movement, and I lifted the edges up for dimension. I embellished around my photo with bits and pieces from the Die Cut Ephemera. I also used one of the ‘Puffy Hearts’ and a Flair Button.

I created another area of embellishment that would also contain my title. I don’t always think titles have to be big and overpowering, and for this layout I really wanted the rainbow (and photo of course) to be the star. I also used some of the “Accessory Stickers”.

You can read my journalling in the photo below. My final touch was to add some metallic gold drops, and I love how they finish off my layout.

I made a process video that you can watch below.

I hope I inspired you to look at your patterned paper supplies in a different way!!

One Little Word 2021 | Daydream Collection | Rachel Lowe

Rachel Lowe 07/01/2021

Happy New Year CVS friends! At the beginning of each new year I choose one little word to try and guide what I am striving to achieve (a different version of a New Years resolution started by Ali Edwards). This year I chose the word Progression (not perfection), the anxiety and stress that perfection can cause is now replaced with progression. So here is my layout which is all about my new OLW.

I went back to the beautiful Daydream collection after a month of Christmas scrapping! I have used Garden Variety paper as my background paper because I really can’t get enough of these florals. I add a 10×10 inch white cardstock to the centre and then added some messy machine stitching using a blue thread to help frame it.

I used a cut file to layer on top of the white cardstock, I chose another piece of cardstock which coordinated with the pink hues in the florals. I created a polaroid frame using Sweet Serenity paper, before adhering to my page I created a floral cluster cascading out of the right side of frame using the florals from the die cut ephemera pack.

To finish off this embellishment cluster I added an accessory sticker to my frame, flair and lastly a puffy heart. Next I focused on my title. I cut my word progress using the blue side of Garden Variety paper (Word from Silhouette Design store). I typed ‘not perfection’.

To tie it to the rest of the elements I added a rainbow and flower from the die cut ephemera pack which I added with foam tape and then added the first of the moth die cuts which flows to the circle on my page.

I added moth die cuts around the circle to finish off my page. I also went back and added drops of NUVO jewel drops to the petals and leaves.

Well thats it from me today, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful week!
