So many layouts

Hello Citrus Twist followers. It's Lilith and today I'll be sharing my layouts that I created with the January 2017 main scrapbook kit and the sprinkles kit. When my kit arrived I didn't know if I'd be able to create anything as my grandmother had just died and I didn't feel like being creative but in the end I created 7 layouts which is a record for me. I think it was very therapeutic creating the layouts and I felt it helped me through those first few rough days. 

For this first layout I used a leftover from a cut file I created. I needed some labels for stamps and I thought it would be nice to use the paper that was left.  

For the second layout I opted to focus on using the die cuts that came in the kit. I layered them and made this simple yet detailed layout.

On the next project I wanted to work with the wood veneer hearts. I liked the idea of them dangling on twine and I recreated that effect on my layout. 

This layout I created just after my gran died. It is my favourite.

Once again I used some leftovers from cuts I had made with my cameo. I just had to use stars and the yellow star patterned paper in the main kit is my FAVOURITE.

 And last by not least I used the balloon paper to create these simple layout. I did a little bit of fussy cutting and created a floating effect with the balloons. Love how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by, happy scrapping and see you soon.

Sunday Sketch with Aimee

Happy Sunday Scrapers. Ready to get down and crafty? Well, then let me show you your sketch.

If you been with us a long time you'll know I have a bit of love/hate relationship with Sketch Challenges. Honestly, I will never voluntarily offer to do one, but at the same time some of my greatest pages here at Citrus Twist have come from taking on the challenge. This year I'm trying to turn over a new leaf. I've decided not to get to bogged down in rules and use a sketch the way it was meant to be used - as jumping off point and an inspiration. Not a concrete map. So without further ado. Here is my page that only vaguely looks like the sketch :)

I used this months Main Scrapbook page and Sprinkles kit to create the page. I did use a small strip of washi and a stamped flower I had lying on my desk to finish the page off but that's mostly because I hate having to put little bits away. Here are a few close ups so you can see the details.

Now it's your turn. To play along with this week's sketch challenge, create a layout inspired by the sketch, upload it to the CTK Gallery with today's date (1/29) in the title, and you will be eligible to win a $5 gift certificate to the CTK Store!

Until next time,

Aimee Xx

Embellishment only layout with Veera

Hi, It’s Veera here today to share a layout I created using only embellishments. I love pattern papers but I might love embellishments even more. The January kits are full of embellishments as always and this time I wanted to feature them! For this layout I used the ”Jameson” Scrapbook kit and Sprikles Kit.

Majority of the embellishments in this layout came from the exclusive ephemera pack. I really love the color combination of yellow and mint. The colors work so well with my picture. As I didn’t want to use any pattern papers I tried to create a design that has interest and flows through the layout. The little triangles were a perfect addition to help creating movement to the layout.

My favorite item from the Sprinkles kit was clearly the Nuvo Jewel Drops! I added the drops directly to the layout and left to dry. Such a cool and easy way to make little embellishments!

Have you tried to create layout using only embellishments?

Tuesday Tutorial with Leigh- Punches

Hello, and welcome to today's Tuesday Tutorial. Leigh here, with a layout and a full process video using the January 2017 Scrapbook Kit and the Sprinkles Kit. I am so happy to be posting here for the first time!

The  "Jameson" Scrapbook Kit is so inspiring! Have you taken a peek at those wood veneer? The leafy branch wood veneer pieces inspired this page. I realized I could tie in the patterned paper and the wood veneer with a new Fiskars leafy branch punch.


You can stitch three wavy lines down the left side of the page, to have a spot for the punched bits.
I punched out some aqua, pink and golden yellow patterns from the kit, and started by placing the punched pieces down the left side as if they are growing down the page.


Do you have a new punch you are excited to use? Try this page with any punch that tickles your fancy.

 Loving the exclusive pack of die cuts made for Citrus Twist Kits by Pinkfresh Studios!  Pile those babies on underneath your focal point photo.

Traveler's Notebook with Diane

After I've finished using my kits for all my Project Life pages, I love using whatever is left over in my Traveler's Notebook. It's so fun creating these little, stress-free layouts. And it's quick. This page took me less than 20 minutes!

Here is the process video for how this page came together...

Do you use Traveler's Notebooks for your everyday documenting?
