Joyful Moments | Joyful Collection | Michelle Stokes
Hello Hello! It’s Michelle here today with a new layout share for part of out current ‘Scrap lift’ theme. All of the CVS Design Team have been tasked with recreating something we’ve made and shared in a past blog post, and for mine I’ve taken a little walk down memory lane to recreate a layout from September 2020.
The ‘Joyful Moment’ I’ve chosen to document of Leila is her awesome reaction to receiving a present at Christmas just gone. It’s something she had been asking for almost all of last year and was the last present she opened from us on Christmas Day. The Joyful collection has been the best Christmas themed collection for scrapping memories of late, and I’m absolutely loving creating with it each time I do.
Here’s a look at the layout I was inspired to recreate…
The original layout has a mixed media pattern paper background, cut file from CUT to YOU, title over the right side of the hanging pieces of cut file and multiple clusters of sweet sweet Cocoa Vanilla goodness.
For the new layout I chose a similar design in the CUT to YOU store, this one has a bunch of stars hanging from strings rather than the hearts. I backed each star piece with pattern papers from both the A5 paper stack and a couple of the 12×12 papers.
I used a background that I made a few weeks back that matched in with the colours really well. This was made using inks, water and the plastic packaging technique. I added the cutfile directly over the top using foam tape for slight dimension, then gave the entire layout a border using the pretty pink ‘Feeling Festive’ paper. The red pattern paper the each photo is adhered to can be found in the A5 paper stack.
I started my clusters with a bunch of fussy cut florals from both the 12×12 and A5 versions of the ‘Tis the Season‘ paper, layering in with some offcuts of the cut file I used on a layout I created a couple weeks back, some accessory word stickers and gold puffy stars from the ‘glitter puffy stars‘ pack and gold puffy sticker title pack.
In the top right hand side, to the left of the photo, I added another cluster using similar elements to the first. All clusters use a mix of adhesive to form different layers. This helps give the layout dimension rather than keeping it flat
I added the title to the bottom right group of stars on the cut file. I used the awesome Gold Puffy titles, which are part of the Joyful Collection Bundle available in the CVS Store. The banner below is from the ephemera pack.
You can also see I’ve added stitching around the edges of the layout which also helped to secure the cardstock stars from the cut file remnants
Top left of the layout was the last piece of the layout to some together. Again using elements similar to those in the other 2 clusters plus a chipboard piece.
I really enjoyed bringing this layout together, even the many fussy cut pieces I needed to make those clusters pop. I hope you’ve enjoyed what I created, and look forward to see what the rest of the team creates over the next week or so.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Until next time, Happy Scrapping
