Joy | The Cut Shoppe

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a layout in my 2019 December Daily using the Tree Farm cut file, available at The Cut Shoppe.

Here's a look at the layout:

Here's the cut file:

I love all types of holiday documenting, but December projects are my absolute favorite!  For my project today, I used mainly the Crate Paper Snowflake collection.  To begin the layout, I cut out three of the trees included in the cut file, using white cardstock.  I wanted to focus on one of the trees, so I sized it larger than the others.  I backed the largest tree with gold dot vellum from my stash and left the others open.  I created a large tag using a pink patterned paper and adhered the trees to it, slightly overlapping them.  A gold star, some tree stickers, a bit of ribbon, and machine stitching completed this side of the layout.

For the other side of the spread, I used a pocket page with 2- 3"x4" pockets.  I trimmed a patterned paper to fit in the pocket and added some chipboard stickers for my title.  I printed my journaling and adhered it to a label.

 For the other pocket, I printed my photo and added a label, stickers, and a bit more ribbon.

  Here's one final look at the layout:

Thank you so much for joining me today!  I will see you again soon!

Sunday Sketch | Citrus Twist Kits

Hey friends!  I'm here today with this week's Sunday Sketch Challenge for Citrus Twist Kits.  This is such a fun challenge and a really great way to jump-start your creativity.

Here's a look at the sketch:

Here's the layout I created using the Life Crafted "Hustle and Heart" Kit and the December Scrapbooking Add-on Kit:

For this project, I chose to add a layout to my 2019 December Daily album-  I am using the Life Crafted Album.  I LOVE the size of this album...so perfect for this project!

To begin the spread, I rotated the sketch so that the photo and number would be on the right side of the page.  I trimmed two pieces of white cardstock to use as the base for my pages.  Next, I enlarged one of the journaling cards from the December Days digital collection, and I used it along with a couple of the patterned papers from the LC kit to layer behind my photo and day number.   Using the This Is Life "Born For This" Stamp, I stamped a frame for my number.  I added another stamp from the Traveler's Notebook Stamp to a label and added it to the side of the number.  I  used ephemera, chipboard pieces, and stickers from the kits to embellish the page, also adding some machine stitching.

 

For the other side of the spread, I layered a few strips of patterned paper along the edge of the page.  I stamped a sentiment from the Christmas Stories Stamp onto a label and used some of the puffy alpha stickers from the Add-on kit for the title.

I stamped some stars, using a CTK TN Stamp from a previous month, around the page and used ephemera and enamel dots to embellish.  I also added some Crate Paper Snowflake Stickers (that can be found in the CTK shop).  To finish off the page, I added a bit more machine stitching to the edge of the page.

Here's a final look at the layout:

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you will join in on the challenge and share your creations with us on the Facebook Fan Page or on Instagram using #citrustwistkits.
