Celebrate 21 | Cocoa Vanilla Studio

I cannot believe my baby is 21!!!

 thankfully just before her 21st birthday in December 2020 under strict Covid regulations we were able to have a small celebration for her with immediate family and her closest friends 

It was great night and everyone enjoyed being out and catching up 

We are so very proud of our baby girl who is working fulltime as a department manager at a major department store while studying a double degree  Bachelor of Business and Human Resources and still she remains  a HOOT 

 these very precious photos are T with her grandparents 

Happy Creating

My #1 Daughter graduated University with a Masters in Primary Education with Distinction in June 2020 but due to Covid her graduation cere3mony was postponed until February 2021 

We are just so proud of her and he dedication to teaching with the last part of her degree done through Covid so she missed very important in classroom experience but still came out shinning and with a placement straight away starting in July 2020. 

After 18 months teaching she has a permanent position with Education Qld and is making such a difference to her students lives. They absolutely love her which I have seen first hand by teaching card classes in her classroom

Travelers Notebook/Junk Journal | Cocoa Vanilla Studio

Hi every today I am sharing with you all this super fun notebook I created using Cocoa Vanilla Studio's  More Than Words collection 

I just cut up pieces of patterned paper, acetate and vellum, added in a paper doily and some pockets to add bits I collect when travelling and most importantly left room to add photos and journaling. I embellished the cover and some pages. 

I have more of this collection for when I do start adding photos so I can easily add more pages or photo flaps and embellishments 

I will either sew the spine or staple it when I have finished but for now i have it held together with elastic 

this is a folder that unfolds so I can add journalling or photos 

I created a little shaker window on a pocket that I can add photos, journalling or memorabilia that i collected 

a closer look at the cover 

 Happy Creating

MemoryDex Challenge 2020 | Week 1 Shine Bright Like A Diamond

and so the adventure begins | Cocoa Vanilla Studio

#kerriegurney #cocoavanillastudio

G'day everyone I am back sharing my last layout using Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Happiness collection. This time I have given the pink tones a rest and added some blue again showing how versatile this collection truly is 

and what a fabulous adventure we had ♥

to create this aged look on my chipboard title I messily pained the chipboard using gesso and then coloured using watercolour paints while the gesso was still wet and then after it was dry I added more colour randomly.
This chipboard title is from Celebr8 they have loads of fabulous chipboard titles and elements 

 Happy Creating
