'Epic Adventure' - 12x12 Layout - Cocoa Vanilla Studio Legendary Collection

Hello, Rebecca back with you with another 12x12 layout created using the Legendary Collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. This time I've opted for a grid-style layout.

To create this layout, I've used the 'Epic Tales' patterned paper. I've cut apart all the individual elements and distressed all the edges using the blade of my scissors and Distress Ink Pads in various colours (Mowed Lawn, Chipped Sapphire and Salty Ocean).

I positioned my photos on the page and then decided which of the 3x4 cards I wanted to fill the other three spaces, and which I wanted to use to layer behind them and my photos. I decided to have the 'Epic' and 'Adventure' cards as top layers to form my title. The other card I've used has very faint lines on it which lend themselves perfectly to journalling so there was my 3rd winner! I used the other cards as layers behind, and I also used some of the other patterned papers from the collection to add a burst of colour around the edges.

I cut the smaller 'tabs' from the cut-apart sheet and also used them behind the layers. I fussy cut the 'The best' piece and used it as I would use ephemera, to embellish the corner of my journalling card.

I added a black Flair Button to the layout which says 'Yeah that's my boy'. It sits nicely on the top centre grid.

I then added more sections of the cut-apart sheet to the top and bottom of the layout and embellished with some fussy cut stars from the 'All Star' patterned paper. I distressed the edges of the entire 12x12 cardstock by running a Distress Oxide Ink Pad (Broken China) around them.

I finished off the layout by adding my journalling and some Nuvo Drops in co-ordinating colours.

I hope you've enjoyed this layout. I love how simple grid layouts are to create, and I've managed to use pretty much all of the cut-apart sheet in one layout - a first for me!

Stay safe everybody, and I'll be back again later in the month.

Take care,

Rebecca x
