Life Crafted Layout | Citrus Twist Kits

  

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a layout in my Life Crafted Album.  I used the beautiful August Life Crafted "True Stories" Kit, the Scrapbooking Add-on Kit, the This is Life "Stories" Stamp, and the Traveler's Notebook Stamp.

To begin the layout, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to fit as a full page in the album.  I knew I wanted to use the vintage dictionary page, that was included in the Add-on kit, as a layer on the page.  I trimmed it down, tore one of the edges for extra texture, and adhered it to the layout.  I was careful not to add adhesive to the top edge so that I could include a tag with some hidden journaling.  

  

Then, I went through the kits and chose some ephemera, puffy stickers, and cut aparts to use on the layout.  I arranged them in a grid- one of my favorite layout designs.  I also fussy cut some florals from one of the patterned papers to use on both sides of the spread.  To finish off the left side of the layout, I stamped a sentiment using the Traveler's Notebook Stamp and added a bit of ribbon to one of the tags.

For the right side of the spread, I trimmed a patterned paper from the Add-on kit to fit as a full page in the album.  I trimmed two more patterned papers and adhered them to the base page.  There were so many gorgeous papers in the kits, I wanted to use them ALL!  I added my photo and some of the fussy cut florals.  I used the "Stories" stamp to add the title and did some simple embellishing with a label, puffy sticker, and ephemera ticket.

I layered an acetate piece over a patterned paper and added them to the page using mini staples.  I couldn't resist adding a couple more puffy heart stickers- these are always a kit favorite!

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have found some inspiration for using this month's kits!

August Reveal Traveler's Notebook Layout | Elle's Studio

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a traveler's notebook layout using the NEW August Kit and Extras that released today at Elle's Studio!  The new kit is so bright and fun!  I used this month's release to create my first August gallery project- a layout in my Life Crafted album.

The colors in the release are gorgeous!  Some of my favorites for this month are the Shine Brighter Stamp and coordinating Banners Metal Die.  I love that they can be used together to create embellishments!

For the title of my layout, I used the Chipboard Tags and the So Cool Puffy Stickers.  The little banner is one of my favorite features on the spread!

I love how my TN layout turned out using these awesome goodies!  Be sure to stop by the Elle's Studio shop to check out the August 2020 Kit and Add-ons!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I will see you again soon!

Life Crafted Layout | Citrus Twist Kits

 

Hey friends!  I'm excited to be hosting this week's 3-to-Inspire challenge for Citus Twist Kits!  Here are the prompts:

1. Focus on circles

2. Use chipboard/puffy stickers

3. Include stamping

Here's the Life Crafted layout I created using these prompts:

For my spread today, I used the August Scrapbooking Add-on kit, the Life Crafted True Stories kit, and the This Is Life Stories stamp.  To begin the layout, I trimmed a patterned paper from the add-on kit to 5"x8.25"- to fit as a full page in the album.  I used a metal die from my stash to cut circles out of another patterned paper and then adhered it to the background paper.  I added a circular puffy sticker and chipboard flair pieces into the circles I had cut.   To finish off this side of the layout, I used an ephemera piece to highlight one of the circles and added some stamping onto a few of the flair pieces.  The stamps worked perfectly on the chipboard flair!

For the other side of the layout, I used two patterned papers to serve as a background.  I added my photo onto another piece of patterned paper and a journaling card from the LC kit.  I fussy cut an ampersand from a journaling card and adhered it over the edge of the photo.  To embellish, I used more of the chipboard flair and did some stamping using the LC kit stamp and the Stories stamp.

For the title, I used a printable cutapart tag and stamped the word "details" with the This Is Life Stories stamp.  

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you will join in on this week's challenge and share your projects on the CTK Fan Page on Facebook or on Instagram using #citrustwistkits.  I can't wait to see what you create!
