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!

Photo Time | Citrus Twist Kits

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing another layout in my December Daily (using a Life Crafted Album).  For my project, I used mainly the December "Hustle and Heart" Kit and the Scrapbooking Add-on kit.

Here's a look at the layout I created:

I have really enjoyed using the non-Christmas themed items for my December documenting!  To begin my page, I trimmed a striped paper from the add-on kit to fit in the LC album.  I printed my photo and added it to the page, using a cut apart element and ephemera from the Life Crafted kit and add-on kit to embellish.  I recently purchased a mini tag punch and was excited to use it on the page.  I punched out the tag using one of the elements from the cut apart sheet from this month.  Next, I added some stamping to the tag using the 2x3 Stamp Add-on.  I added a bit of repeat stamping under the photo using the Life Crafted Kit Stamp.

For the other side of the layout, I used one of the 3x4 pocket pages for the LC album.  Using Photoshop, I opened the heart digital journaling card.  Because I needed more space than the journaling lines would allow, I deleted them from the card.  I typed my journaling, following the heart shape.  It's not perfect, but I am really happy with the results!  I trimmed the card slightly and layered a patterned paper behind.

For the other pocket, I opened one of the cards from the December Days digital journaling cards in Photoshop.  I deleted the highlighted "25," because I knew I wanted to include today's number in that spot.  I printed out the card and added a white puffy number sticker from a previous LC kit.  I also used the same alpha stickers for part of the title.  I stamped the word "PHOTO" using the Typewriter Alpha Stamp onto vellum and added it to the card.  To finish off the layout, I added some machine stitching to several areas on the page.
