Tis the Season layout for Cocoa Vanilla Studio

Hi everyone! Another catch-up post from me today, this time sharing my first layout using the brand new Tis the Season collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio that was published recently on the CVS blog.

{I know Christmas isn't something that most people want to be thinking about just yet, so you probably don't want to hear that as of today, there are exactly 100 days until Christmas...eeeeek!}

As I am not renowned as a fan of scrapping Christmas, I have to admit even I was surprised that as soon as I saw this collection I was inspired! The combination of fresh colours, gorgeous embellishments and a lack of (overdone) Christmas elements that I see heavily featured in other collections, made this one right up my alley!


I used the Very Merry and Holly Jolly papers for this layout - both so pretty! (And how clever is the design on that background paper - is it Christmas trees or is it hearts?)


I created my title using layered pieces from the Die Cut Ephemera pack along with Alphabet Stickers.


I also used some of the super cute Wood Veneer shapes. These were perfect for adding some subtle texture. (The Sequins scattered across my page were actually from the other newly released Life is Beautiful collection, but you will find an equally gorgeous set of Tis the Season Sequins is also available.)


My journaling was added using one of the Accessory Stickers, and the sweet little Bitty Bow was the perfect finish for my title elements.

Thank you for stopping by today.
If you have been a "non Christmas scrapper" like me, then trust me when I say THIS is the collection that will change all that! You can find it (and all the other Cocoa Vanilla collections) in the CVS shop HERE.
Til next time, happy scrapping! X
