Morning Everyone,

Thanks for popping in today to Scrapbookit to see what we have been up to.

I'm here today to share another post with you using the sensational Cocoa Vanilla 'Totally Rad' paper collection.

I haven't followed the challenge requirements for this one but am here to remind you to make sure you get your challenge entries in. You only have a few days left! We have a sensational challenge that the lovely Jane Garner has designed for us. It is one to warm you up on these freezing days! All you need to do is follow the following elements in your project.

Element #1: Use the word SUMMER on your project.

Element #2: Use TEXTURE and TAGS

Element #3: Use the colour YELLOW

Element #4: Use the SKETCH below

Now for my project!

I have created a very masculine, messy layout!

Here it is...

I have used as I said the gorgeous 'Totally Rad' paper collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. Isn't that 'Say What' paper in the background awesome?

I have added some texture and "mess" using gesso, one of the Quarters Templates by Kaisercraft, Faber Castell Gelatos - Mango Mango and Earl Grey, Kaiser Mist - Denim, Kaiser Ink - Black, IndigoBlu - Ink Splats stamp and Colour Blast - Colour Embossing Powder in the gorgeous Dusty Charcoal.

I have used the embossing powder on the WOW chipboard frame. It is very cool. Check out the close ups below.

I have also used the Cocoa Vanilla Studios - Wood Veneers and Flair Buttons. I have embossed the wood veneers with the embossing powder as well.

I have also used this collection to create two little cards.

I decided to leave the 'Say What' card with a blank place to put a number. I'll add the appropriate age number when required.
How cute are the Cocoa Vanilla Acetate Stars?

Well I hope you have found some sort of inspiration from my post today. All of these gorgeous products can be found in store at Scrapbookit or Jo can order them in as well.

Don't forget the challenge and be sure to book your spot for our Spring Retreat by contacting Jo ASAP - seats are filling fast!

Have a great week!
