Pocket Pages with Agnus | Easter Insert | Cocoa Vanilla Studio 'You Rock'

Hi again, I am still playing with the Cocoa Vanilla Studio's 'You Rock' collection from the store and have used this range to create an Easter insert to complete our April memories.

I have used an inexpensive baseball card page protector from my local

newsagent as my base. The pockets are slightly smaller than the usual 3x4" size, but the compact size works well for an insert and still allows for plenty of photos.

Once again I have used the papers and various die cut ephemera pieces layered with washi strips and enamel dot shapes to create my own custom cards and as I already showed with my previous April pages, here and here this collection is very versatile and works well with a range of different photos.

I found a cute bunny image on Pinterest and used the trace feature in my Silhouette Studio software to convert the jpg image into a cut file. Before cutting I scaled down the image to fit my pocket and slightly elongated the shape and once cut, I dressed up the bunny with a stamped sentiment and one of the washi strips.

I used the Days of the Week clear stamps and printed journaling to record the details, and used one of the large frames from the die cut ephemera pieces to anchor the journaling across two cards.

The reverse side uses more of the same patterns and similar format for my photo and journal placement.

Again using the die cut ephemera to help tell the story while also adding interest to the page. I also repeated the look of a horizontal photos across two pockets.

Thanks for stopping by xx

Pocket Pages with Agnus | Cocoa Vanilla Studio 'You Rock'

Hi again :) I'm back with another pocket pages share using the fun using Cocoa Vanilla Studio's 'You Rock' collection.

As I showed in my earlier post, the colours and patterns in this collection are not only perfect for all those boy memories but also work really well with everyday photos too.

This is a mid-month post, so I have skipped my usual title card and instead started the page off with a photo and a filler card using a few enamel dot shapes with the awesome Days of the Week clear stamps from the store. In case you missed it, I also showed how versatile these stamps are on a full sized scrapbook layout in my previous post.

I used a few different photo sizes this week and liked the way it allowed me to add more pattered paper and I creating a simple pocket gave a place for some of the ephemera I collected from the month.

I layered a couple of the larger die cut ephemera pieces to help balance out the square shaped photo and used one of the washi strips to ground my journal strip.

Mixing in more of the fun patterns for the second part of the page - and using little pops of colour on each photo to lead the eye across the page.

Adding an embellishment cluster is always a good way to add interest to a photo with negative space, and I used a mix of die-cut ephemera, stamping onto a washi strip and a couple of enamel shapes.

I often look for printed phrases that will help to tell the story, and backing these onto contrasting patterns I was able to create some quick and easy filler cards.

Cocoa Vanilla Studio 'Your Rock' | Pocket Pages with Agnus

Hi again, Agnus here with another share from my project life album using Cocoa Vanilla Studio's 'You Rock' collection from the Sassy store.

I am documenting April and used the fun copper coloured puffy stickers, along with washi strips, enamel dot shapes and die cut ephemera to create a layered title card.

I created my own journal card with a couple of patterned papers and a die-cut topper, and loved the way the washi strips helped to ground the title onto the adjoining photo.

I also created a flip pocket to hold an extra photo of my little guy's karate achievement and used the extra space with a custom filler card.

I used a spare page protector to cut out a single pocket with an extra portion at the top that I used to secure to the reverse side of the photo.

The Days of the Week clear stamps are prefect for pocket pages and created a nice flow across the pages even though I have condensed two weeks into this spread. I like to use Ranger Archival Ink when stamping directly onto my photos, and place the photo onto an old foam mouse pad before stamping for best results.
