Life Captured

Scrapbook Layout created for JustNick Studio - LIFE CAPTURED -

Hello everyone!
Hope you all are enjoying the first day of March!  Nathalie with you today bringing you a Spring-inspired layout using a few of the beautiful JustNick Studio designs!


As happens many times, designs for pages change as they start taking shape and that is the case of this layout.  First the  Floral Swag 3 was cut from white card stock, and backed with papers from the new Maggie Holmes Flourish collection.    The original idea was to have  the flowers cascade from the top of the page, but once a bit of Vicki Boutin's art crayons was added to the wood grain paper, the orientation of the swag changed .







The cut out was attached using a bit of foam adhesive so that there is a soft shadow underneath it on the golden background.  The picture was then attached, and a small cluster was created to the top corner of it.



Once the picture was in place, the title was created using the Life  and Capture This cut files.   The words were then glued to the bottom of the page, and a small butterfly was then added to complete the title.







A few lines of journal and some gold ink splatters complete this page!  I could not be more pleased on how this page turned out, even when the design changed along the way!




Remember to stop by the JustNick Studio store to check these cut files and the new designs being added each week.   As always, I am a comment away if you have questions on how this came together.

Hello Beautiful You

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  - HELLO BEAUTIFUL YOU -

Hi there!!


Hope you are all doing well.   Been so busy lately with some deadlines (there are some amazing news in the upcoming months!), but i wanted to take time to share this project created with a few of the November Kits from Citrus Twist Kits -just love what Trina puts together each month-

This page was all inspired by the color combination in this paper from the Dear Lizzy's Star Gazer collection.  I bought the Patterned paper kit for this paper in particular!.   I pulled a pair of scissors and fussy cut the roses from the paper, being careful to cut some of the leafs, also.

Next I mixed some acrylic paint until I matched closely the navy blue tone in my daughter's shirt.   Once this dried,  i used a stencil to add a bit of gold paste around the page, and started adding the cur flowers as to frame the picture of my daughter ( gotta love all the exclusive embellishments form Citrus Twist Kits that form the clusters around the picture)

For the title, I used the large paintable chipboard word, from Dear Lizzy that are included in the "Wild Thing" add-on kit from Citrus Twist kits.  A bit of gold watercolor on the word brings the gold tones in the layout.  To complete the title, I used the alphas included in this month's PL kit, as well as one of the exclusive chipboard sticker to complete the page.

I love, love how  this came together so easily.    That is the beauty of working with coordinating kits, though there are 4 kits being used in this layout, they have been curated to that they work cohesively together.   Love this month's Citrus Twist Kits!!

Remember to stop by the CTK store to check this month's kits and take advantage of the Black Friday sale along the way!  I am always a comment away if you have questions on how this came together.


See you all around!

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  - FAMILY LOVE -

hi there!


I am up on the Citrus Twist Kits blog with this new layout that showcases this month's Stories kit, This is Life "Gathering" stamp, and "Wild Thing" Add on kit. 

I think is my love for typography that drew me to the large chipboard words included in the add-on kit.  So i formed a simple design that would showcase both the title and picture in the layout.

The colors in the papers in this month's kit were the starting point for this page.   A bit of acrylic paint and watercolor create the background for the strips of paper.   A bit of gold shimmer paint bring the large word forward; the script word from the This is Life stamp complete the title.

To balance the title, I used a large picture of my son and nephew.   This month's exclusive ephemera is perfect to create clusters around the picture; and all those word stickers from Pinkfresh Studio are great to add small sentiments around the page.  Here is a small video that shows a condensed version of how this page came together:

I hope you stop by the  Citrus Twist Kits to check all the kits and stamps used in this layout.  The new and exclusive products are gorgeous!  

Remember I am a comment away if you have questions on how this came together.

See you all soon!
