Totally Epic Prank!! | You Rock Collection | Laura Alberts
Hey y’all! Laura Alberts back with a brilliant star-filled layout finished off the last of the You Rock collection in my stash! Absolutely adored this boy collection and it was perfect to showcase these photos of my oldest son being epically pranked by his little brother. Inspired by this month’s mood board, I started this one with grey ink stenciling in the background and then silver watercolor splatters. This created the base for my layout and allowed me to follow that path when adding these fussy cut stars.
The title is from the new No Limits cardstock titles and I paired it with this “Like a Boss” ephemera piece. The larger star behind my photos was one star that I cut in half and tucked behind two sides of the photos. This pieces was in the cut-apart paper from You Rock and I’d been hoarding it throughout the whole collection! So satisfying to see that piece make it onto a layout!
To finish this layout off, I added black Nuvo drops in the centers of the largest inked stars as well as in random places around my stars. This detail really brings that black from the ‘Like a Boss’ into the rest of the layout. The tiny stars are all punched from scraps or fussy cut from the cut-apart. One of the best things about Cocoa Vanilla Studio collections is how versatile the papers are. Even at the end, I can use every last little scrap to keep making pages! I love that!
