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

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a traveler's notebook layout using the NEW July Kit and Extras that released today at Elle's Studio!  The new kit is so summery and fun!  I used this month's release to create my first July gallery project- a layout in my Life Crafted album.

The colors in this month's release are gorgeous!  There's a new paper pad releasing today, the Bright Polka Dot 6 x 8.5 inch paper stack.  It is such a versatile paper stack, perfect to use on any project! 

I also love the new alpha stickers- the Navy Puffy Alphabet Stickers and the Navy Dipped Puffy Alphabet Stickers.  So fun!

For the title of my layout, I used the July 2020 Cut Files and the Adventure Wood Veneers.  This is one of my favorite features on the spread!

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

 Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I will see you again soon!

Sunday Sketch Challenge | Citrus Twist Kits

Hey friends!  I'm here today with this week's Sunday Sketch challenge!  I used the beautiful July "Wild at Heart" Kit and the Traveler's Notebook Stamp.

Here's a look at the sketch:

Here's my take on the sketch:

I chose to convert the sketch from a 12x12 layout to a traveler's notebook spread.  Other than that, I stuck pretty closely with it.

To begin the spread, I printed a ledger paper from the Documenter Traveler's Notebook Basics Ver. 1 Digital Papers to use as the background.  I trimmed two papers from the kit to span across both pages and added an ephemera piece to the page, in the place of one of the photos from the sketch.  I layered a few brightly colored labels under the edge of the patterned papers.  I also added a butterfly ephemera piece, stitching through the center and folding up the wings.  I always love doing this when using butterflies on a layout.  Next, I trimmed a narrow strip of the floral paper and adhered it across the top of the spread.

Following the sketch, I cut two triangular pieces of patterned paper and added them to the top of the page, punching a heart shape out of one of the papers.  I stamped a sentiment using the Traveler's Notebook Stamp.  Then, I added my photo on the right side of the spread, layering it over the patterned papers.  I trimmed a tag shape out of a book print patterned paper and tucked it under the photo, adding a piece of white twine for additional texture.

On the left side of the layout, using the Traveler's Notebook Stamp, I stamped some sentiments in black ink.  I typed my journaling, cut it into strips, and adhered it to page.  To complete the layout, I added a triangle-shaped piece cut from a book print patterned paper, punched a heart out of it, and backed it with a pink striped patterned paper.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I can't wait to see your take on this week's Sunday Sketch Challenge!

Life Crafted Layout | Citrus Twist Kits

Hey friends!  I'm excited to share my first project using the NEW July Life Crafted "Wild at Heart" Kit that just released!  It is so bright and gorgeous!  I also used the Bailey Stamp, this month's Add On stamps, and a variety of digital files.

Here's a look at my Life Crafted layout:

I began my spread by choosing two recent photos of my youngest son.  He loves all things outdoors, and I thought this kit would be perfect for documenting this memory.  I printed one of the TN Basics Digital Papers, recoloring the labels at the top of the page so that they would coordinate with the other elements I planned to use on the spread.  I layered my photo over a dark blue journaling card and used some labels, chipboard stickers, and enamel dots to embellish.  Next,  I added some stamping to the printed labels at the top of the page with the Life Crafted Stamp and the Traveler's Notebook Stamp.

I stamped the date using the Bailey Stamp onto a label from the Printable Cut Apart Elements and stapled it to the bottom of the page.  This alphabet stamp is my new FAVORITE!  I absolutely love the font, and it is the perfect size for using on Life Crafted layouts!

For the right side of the spread, I used a Life Crafted Page Protector #2.  I added a tab from this month's Printable Digital Tags, along with an ephemera label and heart, to add a bit more interest to the top of the photo.  Then, I created a flip-up by layering the photo over a journaling card from the LC Kit.  I stamped a sentiment with the LC kit stamp and a leaf from the This Is Life "Wild at Heart" Stamp.  I typed my journaling onto a piece of white cardstock and embellished with an ephemera piece.  Finally, I used a piece of cardstock to attach the photo and journaling cards, creating the flip-up.  I love using interactive elements on my LC layouts!

I chose another journaling card from the kit and used the black puffy alphabet stickers and the Bailey Stamp to create the title.  To complete the page, I added a chipboard sticker and a few of the bright enamel dots- another favorite from this month's kit!

I hope I have inspired you to document some of your memories using this month's amazing Life Crafted Kit, stamps, and digitals!  I'm excited to see what you create!

Life Crafted Layout | Citrus Twist Kits

Hey friends!  I'm excited to be here today sharing a project I created in my Life Crafted Album.  I used the gorgeous June Scrapbooking Add-On Kit to create this spread.

Here's a look at the layout:

I love documenting photos of my sweet little niece, and this photo of her is one of my favorites!  To begin the layout, I trimmed a ledger paper from the kit to fit as a full page in the album.  I added some layers behind the photo using several patterned papers and an ephemera die cut.  I then embellished around the photo using puffy stickers, cardstock stickers, and an acetate piece.

I typed my journaling and added it in strips below the photo.  Next, I created another cluster at the bottom of the page using a floral piece, puffy sticker, and some cardstock stickers.  To finish off the page, I added a bit of stamping using the Life Crafted Kit Stamp and the This Is Life "Yes" Stamp.

For the other side of the spread, I trimmed a floral patterned paper from the kit to fit in a page protector.  I love this paper and really wanted to use it as a background.  I kept this side of the spread very simple, just creating a tag shape from the grid patterned paper and layering an ephemera piece and some puffy and cardstock stickers.  To finish off the page, I added more stamping using the Life Crafted Kit Stamp.

I hope I have inspired you to get some of your memories documented in your Life Crafted Album!  The pages come together so quickly using this format!

Hybrid Life Crafted Layout | Citrus Twist Kits

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a hybrid layout in my Life Crafted Album.  I used the Life Crafted Journeys Kit, This Is Life Daytripping Stamp, and lots of digital files from the shop.

Here's a look at the layout:

To begin the spread, I enlarged a map patterned paper from the Journeys Digital TN Pattern Papers to 5"x8.25" so that it would fit as a full page in the album.  I created another canvas (sized to 4.25"x8.25") and added several of the arrow stamps from the Daytripping Digital Stamp.  I was careful to leave space in the center for the geotag cut file that I planned to add later.  I printed the papers, trimmed them to size, and adhered them so that the arrow paper was on top.  Next, using Silhouette Studio, I sized a geotag from the Journeys Titles Cut File to fit in the area I had left on the page and cut it out using a blue patterned paper from the kit.  I added some hand-stitching to the cut file for added texture and interest.  I always love the results when I take the time to add stitching to a layout!

I stamped the word "travel" and the trees icon stamp from the Daytripping Stamp onto the map patterned paper and used a circle die to cut it out.  I added it to the center of the geotag to serve as the title.  To complete this page, I stamped some sentiments from the Daytripping Stamp and also added a camera icon stamp to the bottom of the page.

For the right side of the layout, I opened a digital paper from the Journeys TN Basics Digital Papers and typed my journaling onto the page.  I printed it out on white cardstock, added my photos, and used an ephemera piece and chipboard stickers from the kit to embellish it.  I also did a bit more stamping using the Daytripping Stamp and the LC Kit Stamp.  To complete the title, I used the aqua puffy alphabet stickers from the kit.  I also added a "19" to the top of the spread, because my husband and I were celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary on this trip!

Be sure to check out all of the amazing digital files that are available in the Citrus Twist Kits shop!  I will see you again soon!

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

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a traveler's notebook layout using the NEW May Kit and Extras that released today at Elle's Studio.  The new kit is so bright and fun!  I used this month's release to create my first May gallery project- a layout in my Life Crafted album.

The release this month is beautiful!

I created a tag for my journaling and tucked it behind the photo, using one of this month's journaling tags from the kit.  I also used the Currently Icon Stamp and black ink to add a sentiment and some fun icons.

For my layout title, I used the Story Acrylic and stitched it onto the page using some embroidery floss in colors that coordinated with my layout.  I LOVE this little detail!  I also stamped a sentiment to complete the title using the Currently Icon Stamp.

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

 Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I will see you again soon!
