Sunday Sketch Challenge | Citrus Twist Kits

  

Hey friends!  I am here today with this week's Sunday Sketch challenge for Citrus Twist Kits!  I used the October Scrapbooking Add-on kit, the Life Crafted "Flourish" kit, and the This Is Life "Ready for This" stamp.

Here's a look at the sketch:

Here's my layout based on the sketch:

I loved the design of the sketch and followed it pretty closely, with only a few minor changes.  I chose to convert the sketch from a 12x12 layout to a Life Crafted album layout.  Instead of two smaller photos, I chose to use one larger portrait photo.  I followed the sketch and added some layers behind the photo using several ephemera pieces from the Add-on kit.  I also added a fussy cut floral, a few ephemera die-cuts, and some gold puffy leaf stickers around the photo.  The vintage lace trim from the Add-on kit was perfect to add to the ephemera tag.

I typed my journaling and added it in strips below the photo.  I also added some pink tiny word stickers to the edge of the photo, following the placement of the labels from the sketch.

On the right side of the layout, I trimmed a ledger patterned paper to fit as a full page in the album.  I created the title using a gold puffy word sticker and the Soft Mint Alphabet stickers, both from the Add-on kit.  I also used some pale pink alpha stickers from a previous Life Crafted kit.  I added some stamping to both pages of the spread using the "Ready for This" stamp and the LC kit stamp.  A trimmed ephemera tag was the perfect touch below the title. To finish off the layout, I added a bit of machine stitching using black thread to several areas around the spread.

I love how this Life Crafted layout turned out using this month's gorgeous kits!  I hope you will join in on this sketch challenge and share your layouts with us on the CTK Fan Facebook page or on Instagram using the hashtag #citrustwistkits.  I will see you again soon!

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

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a traveler's notebook layout using the NEW October 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 October gallery project- a layout in my Life Crafted album.

The colors and designs in the release are gorgeous- perfect for documenting Fall and Halloween memories! I used the Jewel Journaling Tags and the Autumn Wood Veneers, along with the NEW Jewel Polka Dot 6 x 8.5 Inch Paper Stack and the Autumn Days 6 x 8.5 Inch Paper Stack to create the left side of my spread. The Documented Stamp was the perfect addition to the tag.

I also used the new Medium Jane Alphabet Stamp Sets- Outline and Solid and black and light gray ink to stamp on the right side of the spread.  Elle's Studio stamps are always my favorite, and I am so excited about these new Jane Alphas!  

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 October 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 using the gorgeous new Citrus Twist Kits October kits.  For my layout today, I used mainly the Scrapbooking Add-on kit, along with a few ephemera pieces and the stamp set from the Life Crafted Flourish kit.  

Here's a look at the spread:

The Add-on kit this month is FULL of the Crate Paper Marigold collection.  It is beautiful!  To begin the layout, I trimmed a patterned paper to 5x8.25" to fit as a full page in the album.  This gave me more space for adding lots of layering.  I chose several pieces from the Marigold ephemera pack (included in the Add-on kit) to create a large embellishment cluster.  I love that the ephemera includes vellum and cardstock pieces for a bit variety.   I also added a few ephemera die cuts from the Life Crafted kit to the edges of the cluster.  A gold bow puffy sticker and a few other puffy stickers from the kit finished off this page. 

Because the left side of the spread was a patterned background, I chose to use white cardstock as the base for the right page.  I trimmed it to 5x8.25" to fit as a full page.  I layered a patterned paper and some ephemera pieces behind my photo.  I loved the green floral die cut and chose to use it to frame the photo.  I used a gold puffy phrase sticker as the title for my layout, layering it over the edge of the photo.  The Marigold puffy stickers were perfect little embellishments for this page.  

I cut out a tag from a patterned paper and added it to the bottom of the page.  I handwrote my journaling on a label and adhered it, along with a vellum floral ephemera piece and puffy butterfly sticker, to complete the cluster.  I trimmed a small piece of the lace trim, included in the Add-on kit, and added it to the tag.  To finish off the spread, I added some stamping using the LC kit stamp and did a bit of machine stitching with black thread on several areas of the page.  

I love how this Life Crafted layout turned out using these amazing kits!  

Thank you for stopping by today!  Be sure to head over to the Citrus Twist Kits shop to check out this month's kits!
