Road Trip | Citrus Twist Kits

Hey friends!  I am back today sharing a layout in my Life Crafted Album.  I used the new Citrus Twist Kits May "Excursions" kit that just released, along with the This is Life "Free Spirit" Stamps.  This month's Life Crafted kit might just be my favorite kit EVER!!  I love the travel theme, and all of the gorgeous papers and embellishments.

Here's a look at the layout I created:

To begin my spread, I chose a fun photo taken on a day trip with some of my extended family.  I added layers behind the photo using a patterned paper and a vintage book page, both from the kit. I enjoyed using the book page as a layering piece in several areas on my spread.  I used some light pink stamping ink and one of the stamps to add some subtle color and interest to it.  I love how this turned out!

For the other side of the layout, I printed the digital diagonal stripe TN paper.  I love the colors in this paper and wanted to feature it on the page.  Next, I printed my journaling on a piece of white cardstock and trimmed it into a tag shape.  I used some of the ephemera pieces, cut aparts, and puffy stickers to complete this side of the layout.

To finish off the spread, I added some light pink and blue watercolor splatters around the layout.  I also added a couple of stamped sentiments using the Free Spirit stamps.

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you will check out my post on the Citrus Twist Kits blog today!

Sweet Life

Hey friends!  I'm back again today sharing a new project in my Life Crafted Album from Citrus Twist Kits!  I used the April Make It a Venti kit and the Scrapbooking Add On kit to create an opening page for my album.  It was so much fun just playing with all of the new products!

To begin the page, I chose a fun Snap Chat photo of me.  I wish I could live with this filter on me all the time! LOL!  I also decided to use my favorite journaling card from the Life Crafted kit.  It is such a fun shade of pink, and I love the graphic look of it.

I used several papers from the kit on my spread, along with embellishments from the Add On kit- including the Maggie Holmes Sunny Days collection and Heidi Swapp Color Fresh collection.  I even pulled in an old book page as a layering piece. 

To finish off the layout, I did some machine stitching over the title and around the photo.  I always love the added texture this adds to a layout.

I hope you will check out the new kits at Citrus Twist Kits this month.  Thanks for stopping by today!

Octobers

Hello friends!  I'm here today sharing a spread in my traveler's notebook.  I created this fun, Autumn-inspired layout for The Cut Shoppe using the World of Octobers cut file.

I sized the cut file to fit on my TN page and cut it out using a digital wood grain patterned paper from my stash.  I used some papers from an older Fancy Pants collection called Golden Days to cut out the word "Octobers" and the leaf image.  I then backed the cut file with another patterned paper from the same collection.

I stamped some Autumn phrases at the top and bottom of the page using some Kellie Stamps and an older Gossamer Blue stamp set .  I love the added interest stamping provides!

For the other half of my spread, I printed a full page photo.  I love the look of large photos in my TN!

I did some stamping on patterned paper, a stamped tag for my journaling, and added a sentiment die cut and a puffy heart sticker.  

Thank you for stopping by today to check out my latest project!  I hope you have been inspired to create something fun today!

Cute

Hello again! 

I recently subscribed to the Citrus Twist Kits Scrapbook kit.  It arrived last week and I couldn't wait to have some time to play!  It includes lots of the Maggie Holmes Willow Lane collection (which I LOVE).

I thought this kit would be perfect to document my niece's one month birthday.  Her outfit is a shade of denim that matches beautifully with the blues and purples in this kit.

I cut the papers to TN size and layered on a doily, more paper, chipboard stickers, and ephemera from the Willow Lane collection.  I stamped my date and called it done.  This one came together really quickly using a kit!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed a peek at my latest traveler's notebook layout.

Summer Fun

Hey everyone!  I'm back with another spread in my traveler's notebook using some fabulous summer digitals from Feed your Craft and In a Creative Bubble, along with some physical supplies.  This kit worked perfectly to document a recent trip with my youngest son to our local splash pad.

Using my Silhouette Studio software, I traced one of the digital stamps and then cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo.  I love using a large title as a feature on a traveler's notebook spread!

I used Photoshop to alter the wording on one of the pdf images and then printed the pdf  that was included in the kit.  I love creating hybrid layouts because the elements can be customized to any color scheme or style.

I then added stamping and layered some tags, stickers, and acrylic stars- all the little details that make this spread even more fun.

I hope you will try adding a large title to your next TN layout!  Thanks for stopping by!

Summer Sun & Fun

Hello everyone!  You've got to start somewhere, right!?!  This is my first layout share in my little corner of the web.  I created a summer spread in my ringed traveler's notebook using the FREE Summer Sizzle printable from The Cut Shoppe- available in The Cut Shop Scrap Spot Facebook Group.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut the images- printing several extras of the flamingo because he is just too cute!  I also used the Beach Bum cut file from The Cut Shoppe to cut the leaves, using both the positive and negative of the cuts and different patterned papers.  This gave the leaves more texture and dimension.

My journaling is on a tag that I tucked behind the photo.  I also did some stamping using a Feed Your Craft stamp set called Pattern Play.  This is one of my most used stamp sets because it can be used on any type or theme of layout.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see you again soon!  I have so many fun projects planned that I am excited to share with you!
