3-To-Inspire Layout | Citrus Twist Kits

  

Hey friends!  I'm here today hosting this week's 3-to-Inspire challenge for Citrus Twist Kits.  I created a layout in my Life Crafted Album using this month's Life Crafted Legendary kit and the Scrapbooking Addon kit.  I also used the This Is Life Legends stamp and the Traveler's Notebook stamp-- it wouldn't be one of my layouts without at least a little bit of stamping!

Here are the prompts:

1. Feature one stamp or stamp set

2. Use 5 or more patterned papers

3. Use a variety of embellishments 

For my layout today, I wanted to document a photo of my sweet little niece.  I planned to use a variety of colors and patterns, so I chose to print the photo in black and white.  I began the spread by stamping the frame from the This Is Life Legends stamp using black ink onto several patterned papers from the LC and Addon kits.  I also used the packaging from stickers in the Addon kit and an ephemera die cut from the LC kit.  Next, I trimmed around the stamped images and arranged them vertically on the page.  

I embellished the stamped frames with additional stamping and stickers.  I also added a floral die cut below the frames for a bit of extra interest.

On the left side of the spread, I trimmed a patterned paper from the LC kit and adhered it to the edge of a white cardstock base.  I added my photo and did some simple embellishing using ephemera, chipboard stickers, and puffy stickers.  I also added another one of the stamped frames so that the pages would feel more cohesive.  

I love how the layout turned out using this month's kits and stamps! 

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you are inspired to create a layout based on these prompts!  

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

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a traveler's notebook layout using the NEW November Kit and Extras that released today at Elle's Studio!  The new kit is so amazing!  I used this month's release to create my first November gallery project- a layout for my 2019 December Daily Album.  I am still filling in pages for this project and am so close to completing it!

The colors and designs in the release are gorgeous- perfect for documenting holiday memories! I used this month's kit, the Fa La La 6 x 8.5 Inch Paper Stack, and the Jewel Polka Dot 6 x 8.5 Inch Paper Stack, along with the NEW Very Merry Chipboard Stickers and Christmas Tabs Stamp, to create the left side of my spread. A tiny star stamp from the Daily Tabs Stamp was the perfect addition to a stamped label.  

I used the new Christmas Tabs Stamp, along with the Collected Stamp, Daily Tabs Stamp, and Mini Dated Extras Stamp, to add some stamping on the right side of the spread. Elle's Studio stamps are always my favorite, and I am so excited about these new sets!

Below the photo, I added the title using the Merry and Bright Wood Veneer and the Jane Tile Alphabet Cardstock Stickers.  I used an ampersand sticker from the Dark Green Puffy Alphabet Stickers to add a bit more interest to the wood veneer piece.  To complete the pages, I added some machine stitching and mini staples to a few areas of the spread. 

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

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you will check out the new goodies and enjoy some Elle's Studio crafty shopping!

Life Crafted Layout | Citrus Twist Kits

  

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a layout in my Life Crafted album!  I used the beautiful new November Life Crafted "Legendary" kit, This Is Life "Legends" stamp, and digital files from the shop.

Here's a look at the spread:

I was excited to try out the new Life Crafted page protectors that have four Instax-sized pockets.  To begin the layout, I resized two of the digital journaling cards from the kit and one of my photos to fit the pockets. I also typed my journaling and the date onto the cards before printing them out.  For my title, I used the Black Foam Alphabet Stickers and the Soft Mint Puffy Alphabet Stickers and added them to one of the printed cards.  I also added the word "yum" with the foam alphabet stickers to my Instax photo.  I trimmed a patterned paper from the kit to fit in another pocket and did some machine stitching for a bit of added texture.  To finish off the page, I added some stamping with the This Is Life stamp and black and light blue.

For the right side of the layout, I trimmed two patterned papers from the kit and adhered them along the edge of the page.  I added my photo and embellished with some labels from the kit and a printed label from the Printable Cutapart Elements.  I also added an ephemera tag and a mini paper clip from my stash.

I did a bit more stamping with the This Is Life stamp and the LC kit stamp on some of the labels.  I also added a black puffy sticker and some puffy heart stickers, along with another ephemera piece. To finish off the page, I did some machine stitching along the edge of the patterned paper using black thread. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope I have inspired you to document some of your stories using this month's kit.  I will see you again soon!
