Lovely Details | Citrus Twist Kits

Hey friends!  I'm hosting this week's Travelers Notebook Challenge on the Citrus Twist Kits blog.  I used the Life Crafted "Around Here" kit, along with the This is Life "Routine" stamp and the Travelers Notebook stamp.

My challenge for you today is to create a TN layout documenting one of your crafty or creative projects.  Here's a look at the spread I created documenting my first garment sewing adventure:

My mom is an amazing seamstress, but this is not a skill that I have inherited!  I love adding stitching to my scrapbook pages, but an actual garment is much more challenging for me.  It was fun getting this little story about myself documented.

The June "Around Here" kit is perfect for this type of project.  There are so many fun embellishments in the kit that work great for this type of documenting.  To begin my spread, I printed some photos of my sewing project.  I chose to highlight one photo on the page, and I added a tag behind the photo to hold the journaling and an additional photo.  I created the tag using one of this month's exclusive subscriber printable journaling cards.

The cute sewing machine ephemera piece worked perfectly on my page.  I added some stamping and used the tile alphas included in the kit to spell out the word "sewing."

For my title, I used a puffy foam phrase sticker and an ephemera die cut piece.  I absolutely LOVE the black puffy foam stickers this month and may have almost used the entire sheet!  They are great for titles and also include some fun icons. 

To finish off the spread, I added some machine stitching to several areas on the page.  This was the perfect touch for my project about sewing.

Here's one final look at my TN layout:

Thanks for joining me today.  I can't wait to see your take on this week's TN Challenge!

Loving This Space | Citrus Twist Kits

Hey friends!  I'm here sharing my first 3 to Inspire for Citrus Twist Kits.  For my layout today, I used the June Life Crafted Around Here kit, the Label It free subscriber exclusive cut file, and the Bows cut file.

Here's a look at the layout in my Life Crafted Album, documenting one of my favorite places- my craft room!

Our prompts:

1. Around Here kit
2. Cut file (or 2!)
3. Stamping

I started by cutting out the cut file using white cardstock.  I then backed a few of the labels on the cut file with a floral patterned paper from the kit, and backed the entire cut file with the wood grain patterned paper.  I couldn't resist adding a cut file bow to the page, too, cut using a striped patterned paper.  I can't get enough of the fun cut files this month!

Next, I added some ephemera pieces, puffy foam stickers, and tiny alphabet stickers.  I stamped a sentiment onto one of the cut apart labels.

For the other side of the layout, I used the 3" x 8" bookmark included in the kit.  I added the title using a puffy foam phrase sticker and some stamping.

I fussy cut a flower from one of the patterned papers and layered it over the floral elements at the bottom of the bookmark.  This brought the bright pink over to the left side of the layout. To finish off the spread, I added a puffy cardstock sticker and more of the ephemera pieces.

Thanks for joining me today!  I can't wait to see how you use the 3 to Inspire prompts on your project!

Love This | Citrus Twist Kits

Hey friends!  I'm sharing a spread in my Life Crafted album today, using the Citrus Twist Kits June "Around Here" Life Crafted kit and the This Is Life "Routine" stamp.  This kit is my absolute favorite- I may have said that before about the Life Crafted kits, but they keep getting better and better!

Here's a look at the spread I created:

For this layout, I began with a photo of one of my morning routines- coffee and knitting.  I started with a white cardstock base and added a strip of blue and gray patterned paper to the edge of the page.  There were several ephemera pieces and cut aparts from the kit that went along with this theme, and I added them in a loose grid around the photo.  I used an ephemera piece and puffy foam phrase stickers for the title.  Next, I added some stamping using the This Is Life "Routine" stamps.

For the other side of the layout, I used one of the new Life Crafted album page protectors.  There are always so many gorgeous journaling cards in the kit, so I was excited to use a couple on the page.  I chose the cards, and added ephemera, stamping, a puffy foam sticker, and some of the enamel shape stickers to finish off the layout.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Be sure to check out my post on the Citrus Twist Kits blog today!
