Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  -  READ ALWAYS  -

Hi there!


Time is flying, and we are about to move onto October, so how about one more project for Citrus Twist Kits using their September kits before we move onto the beautiful October kits.

For this page, i used the "Good Stuff" add-on kit and few of the exclusive stamps.   Just love the 6x8 Willow LAne paper pad included in the kit; so, a pulled a few of the papers to create a title for the page.

The letters were cut on the Silhouette Cameo, and then hand stitched to bring a bit more detail and color to the title.

Before adding the title onto the page, I used a bit of Whipped Spackle and a Stencil from Echo Park to add a bit of tone-on-tone deital to the background.  The letters were then glued straight to the page.  To complete the title i used the colorful alphas from the WIllow Lane collection under the large handstitched letters.

Next, I nestled the picture under the letters, and added a few details using the Vicki Boutin ephemera pieces, all the brads and enamel dots from My Mind's Eye and then a few Chipboard stickers from Amy Tangerine included in the Embellishment kit. 

A few elements from the monthly cut-apart sheet and some stamped images using CTK exclusive stamps was all that this layout needed.  Love how this page came together so easily, and filled with texture and color.

Remember to stop by Citrus Twist Kits to check all the kits and add ons used on this page, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions on how this was put together.

You Are Enough

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  - YOU ARE ENOUGH -

HI there!

The new  Citrus Twist Kits September kit have been revealed, and they are gorgeous.  So much that i had to get them all, and I am so happy to have done so.   I have been blessed to have such an awesome boss (Trina, the owner of CTK)  who puts together awesome kits, and is passionate about shring them.  As of last month, I decided to start sharing a bit more of my Faith scrapbooking, so i started to get the Grace Box kits from CTK, and i am so upset i did not get them before, as I love them so much!.

I started working the background on a mixed media sheet from Thermo Web, and played with some Vicki Boutin acrylic paints, Vicki Boutin's Ink Spill stencil, and some PinkFresh studio liquid watercolors to create the background of my page.   Sometimes inspiration just hits you late at night, so the picture is not the best quality ;)

This month's Grace Box kit is filled with beautiful papers (Vicki's Boutin - Field Notes collection, Jen Hadfield - My Bright Life, and Maggie Holmes - Willow Lane collection) , exclusive die cuts and stamps, and a set of stencils from Vicki Boutin ( there is also some puffy stickers from Vicki's collection included).

As soon as I saw the beautiful flower wreath paper from Vicki's collection, i fussy cut half the page, and used it to create the large floral cluster that surrounds the picture.   Just love how this turned out.

One of my favorite things in the CTK kits are the exclusive stamps, and this month's Grace Box kit one is so beautiful and profound.  So i used it to add sentiments around the  clusters created on the page. Love the simple die cuts that also complete the clusters. 

I was so inspired after reading my bible, i happened to have been studying Ephesians, and had memorized Ephesians 2:10 

"For we are God's handiwork,

created in Christ Jesus to do good works,

which God prepared ahead for us to do."

and used this page as  a reminder that all my doubts about being selfworth are unfounded, cause He created me with a plan in mind.  I am his creation, I am ENOUGH.   

Stop by the Citrus Twist Kits shop to check all the new kits available, and all the new goodies available in the store.  You will love them all!!!

Let me know if you have questions on how this came together..

Have a blessed Sunday!!!
