Today I am sharing a layout I have created using the Made of Awesome Collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. This is truly a ‘fun’ and ‘happy’ collection and so easy to use!! Today, I have a layout of my 11 year old son posing with a certificate he received for an academic achievement at school and I love that the Ephemera in this collection has lots of ‘good positive words’ which worked perfectly with my layout. To begin, I sprayed my white card stock with some Warm Calico mist and then added some sprays of water and allowed the heavy misting to run up and down the page.
Next, I started layering up the patterned papers from the collection under my photo, I stitched on some banners and then adding in some Ephemera and the frame around my photo (the top of my photo had some artwork and by adding this frame I covered this over – creating a cleaner look). 
To create further interest I added a border strip of the ‘Directions’ patterned paper at the top and bottom. And then added some more Ephemera and stickers from the sticker sheet and finished off with a splattering of the enamel dots, cork and veneer stars (from the Flying High collection) to create flow and tie the layout together.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
