Happy Weekend Vibes

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  - HAPPY #WEEKEND VIBES-

Hi there!

Nathalie with you today for a new 3-to-Inspire!  This time i am using the beautiful "Sugarland" Main Scrapbook kit only for the challenge.

    My three prompts for this week are:

-  Use tags

-  Use a inks/paint/watercolor

-  Document a picture of you/selfie

This month's "Sugarland" kit is packed with color!, so what better way to make the colors pop than a neutral contrasting background.  A bit of  black acrylic paint -sparingly applied to the white cardstock-  is the perfect background for all the color found in the papers and ephemera pack.

I chose  to document this picture of my kids and I on the first large snow fall of winter (it is beautiful to walk under falling snow!!).   Converting the picture to black and white ensures that it will pop from all the color, but will balance the background at the same time.

The picture was then backed with some of the papers from the kit, and then layered with some of the large tags that are included in the ephemera pack.   There is so much to chose from, and it all coordinates so well, that it makes it so easy to put a page together.  A  few splatters of paint and stamped sentiments complete this page.  The following video will give you a more in depth look at how this page came together:





I hope that you are all inspired to take on this week challenge.   Remember to follow this week's prompts, and then share your finished project with today's date on the title on the CTK gallery or CTK Fan Page on Facebook.  I cannot wait to see what you create with these prompts. 

Have a great week!!!

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  - CRAFTY FUN -

Hello CTK fans and friends!

It is time for a new 3-to-Inspire challenge, and this weekend Nathalie is providing the inspiration for this challenge.

Here are the prompts she used in her page:

1. Add dimension to your page
2. Create a title that combines different alpha styles
3. Use inks, watercolors, and/or paint on your background

Here is what i have created with these prompts:

It all started when I formed the rolled flowers using the Fancy Pants "Take Note" collection papers (the die used is called "Rolled Flower" from Maya Road).  I used both sides of the papers to create the flowers, and here is where the dimension on the page comes from.

Since the layout documents my niece on one of her crafty adventures with my scrapbook materials, I  wanted to add a bit of a messy/colorful background, so i used a few splatters of Prima watercolor to  add color to the background.

I added a few details along the page, so that there are a few details in small clusters.  This month's stamp was oh so perfect for this page, as well as the puffy stickers from Maggie Holmes Carousel collection that are included in this month's kit.   Those curly lines were ideal to frame the page.

Finally for the title, and last prompt of this challenge, I used  the beautiful gold/mint alpha in combo with some of the puffy stickers to create the title of this page.   A few lines of journal, gold and black ink splatter complete the page.

If you would like to see how this page was created, just sit and enjoy the following video!

I hope you  are inspired to use the prompts to make a page of your own!  I cannot wait to see what you create!

                                                                                                                                                                   

Now it is your turn!  Use the three prompts to create your own project, and share them with us here in the Gallery or the Facebook CTK Fans page.   We look forward to seeing your creations!
