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

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


The colors and designs in the release are gorgeous- perfect for documenting fall memories!  I used the My Heart Stamp and the My Heart Metal Die, along with the Autumn Days 6 x 8.5 Inch Paper Stack to create the left side of my spread.  The Stitched Heart Wood Veneers were perfect to layer with the stamped and die cut hearts.


I also used the new Grateful Stamp and black ink on one of the hearts.  


For the title, I used the Grateful Stamp and Lagoon ink from Close to My Heart.  Elle's Studio stamps are always my favorite!  I used another Stitched Heart Wood Veneer, along with some tag die cuts from the kit and a label and sticker from the add-ons.



I love how my layout turned out using these amazing goodies!  Be sure to stop by the Elle's Studio shop to check out the September 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 sharing a Life Crafted layout today using the beautiful September "The Best Parts" kit and Traveler's Notebook stamp.  

When I received this month's kit, I was immediately drawn to the gorgeous florals!  I paired them with some other favorites from the kit to create a layout documenting a photo of me with my two sons. 

Here's a look at the Life Crafted spread:

I started the layout by trimming a piece of woodgrain patterned paper and adhering it to a white cardstock background.  I always love a good woodgrain paper!  For the title, I layered a fabric ephemera piece over a script die cut.  To complete the title, I added the word "day" using the Soft Mint Puffy Alphabet Stickers (a new item in the CTK shop) to a label from the ephemera pack.  I did a bit of stamping below the label with the Traveler's Notebook stamp and black ink.  


To complete the left side of the layout, I added a puffy heart sticker and layered a few of the beautiful floral die cuts onto the edge of the woodgrain patterned paper.


For the other side of the spread, I began with a white cardstock background.  I added my photo at the top of the page and layered it over a diagonal striped paper from the kit.  I used some of the ephemera die cuts, a puffy heart sticker, and an ampersand sticker from the Soft Mint Puffy Alphabet Stickers to embellish.


Below the photo, I layered several of the ephemera pieces and more of the floral die cuts.  I did a bit more stamping using the Traveler's Notebook stamp and black ink onto some of the ephemera pieces.


I hope you found some inspiration for using the September "The Best Parts" kit!  Life Crafted kits are designed to help you tell your stories in a beautiful way!  I will see you again soon!

Life Crafted Layout | Citrus Twist Kits

  

Hey friends!  Marsha here today, and I'm sharing a layout in my Life Crafted Album.  I used the beautiful September "The Best Parts" Life Crafted kit, along with the This Is Life "Good Life" stampBailey Alphabet Stamp, and some digital files.

Here's a look at the layout:


To begin the spread, I printed one of the digital TN patterned papers to use as a background.  I typed my journaling on a piece of white cardstock and trimmed it to 3.5x7 inches.  I adhered it to the patterned paper and did some stamping with the "Good Life" stamp and the LC kit stamp.  I stamped the heart and star icons from the stamp set with light blue ink for a bit of extra interest.


I embellished the page with ephemera, printable cut apart elements, and a puffy heart sticker.


For the right side of the layout, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to use as the background and layered a piece of patterned paper over it.  I loved the design of the star journaling card, so I trimmed it in half and added it above and below my photo.  I used one of the fabric ephemera pieces from the kit to add a bit of interest at the top of the photo.


Below the photo, I added the title using the Bailey Alphabet stamp and Soft Mint Puffy Alphabet Stickers (a new item in the CTK shop!).  To embellish, I added a few ephemera pieces and did some stamping with the Good Life stamp.


Thank you for joining me today!  I hope I have inspired you to use this month's Life Crafted kit to document some of your stories!
