Life Crafted Layout | Citrus Twist Kits

  

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a layout in my Life Crafted Album.  I used the beautiful August Life Crafted "True Stories" Kit, the Scrapbooking Add-on Kit, the This is Life "Stories" Stamp, and the Traveler's Notebook Stamp.

To begin the layout, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to fit as a full page in the album.  I knew I wanted to use the vintage dictionary page, that was included in the Add-on kit, as a layer on the page.  I trimmed it down, tore one of the edges for extra texture, and adhered it to the layout.  I was careful not to add adhesive to the top edge so that I could include a tag with some hidden journaling.  

  

Then, I went through the kits and chose some ephemera, puffy stickers, and cut aparts to use on the layout.  I arranged them in a grid- one of my favorite layout designs.  I also fussy cut some florals from one of the patterned papers to use on both sides of the spread.  To finish off the left side of the layout, I stamped a sentiment using the Traveler's Notebook Stamp and added a bit of ribbon to one of the tags.

For the right side of the spread, I trimmed a patterned paper from the Add-on kit to fit as a full page in the album.  I trimmed two more patterned papers and adhered them to the base page.  There were so many gorgeous papers in the kits, I wanted to use them ALL!  I added my photo and some of the fussy cut florals.  I used the "Stories" stamp to add the title and did some simple embellishing with a label, puffy sticker, and ephemera ticket.

I layered an acetate piece over a patterned paper and added them to the page using mini staples.  I couldn't resist adding a couple more puffy heart stickers- these are always a kit favorite!

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have found some inspiration for using this month's kits!

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

Hey friends!  I'm here today sharing a traveler's notebook layout using the NEW August 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 August gallery project- a layout in my Life Crafted album.

The colors in the release are gorgeous!  Some of my favorites for this month are the Shine Brighter Stamp and coordinating Banners Metal Die.  I love that they can be used together to create embellishments!

For the title of my layout, I used the Chipboard Tags and the So Cool Puffy Stickers.  The little banner 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 August 2020 Kit and Add-ons!

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!

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!
