Hi there!

Nathalie with you today to bring you this week's 3-to-Inspire post.  By now most of you (hopefully) have received your gorgeous Cypress kits, and have started to dig into all the goodies included in the kits.   So how about a few prompts to make your next project a bit easier!.  This week's prompts are:

• Create a banner 
• Use some fussy cut elements
• Document a picture of yourself

Here is what i have created using these prompts:

This month's cut apart digital sheet, as well as the ephemera pack (from Elle's Studio in the main kit, and Pinkfresh Studio in the add on kit) had many tags and labels in them, so i took advantage of them all to create a banner on the 8.5x11 white cardstock.  

A piece of grey jute cord (Maya Road) was wrapped around the cardstock, and all the tags, and flags were strung and glued on one side of the banner, so that the picture could be place also in the banner.  

Once the picture was set,  a few floral motifs were fussy cut from the 'Promise' paper from Shimelle included in the Cypress kits, and then used to create a large cluster around the picture.  The foam glitter thickers from Crate Paper  help to complete the cluster, and marry the page to the design on the patterned paper that is used as background for this page.

I used the same fussy cut florals and foam glitter stickers to create the title of this page.  Some of the pieces were placed outside of the white cardstock so that they tie into the background.  To finish the page a few sentiments were added using the main kit stamp set,  followed by some journaling lines and gold ink droplets.

The following video will show you a more in-depth look at how this page came together.

I really enjoyed working with a smaller format, and then adapting it to fit my regular scrapbook albums, but having the threee prompts made it so much easier to create this page about a beautiful Summer day here in the Toronto.

Now is your turn to use the prompts to create a project of your own.  Remember to share your creations on the Citrus Twist Kits Friends page on Facebook, or on social media (please tag @citrustwistkits) .   I look forward to see how you interprete the prompts in your pages.

Til next time,

Nathalie

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  -  FAMILY MEMORIES  -

Hi there!

welcome to my blog.  This is the first project for Citrus Twist kits using their November kits (they are all so beautiful!), and  follows the prompts from this week's 3-to-Inspire criteria:  ink/mist, stitching, and a cut file ( i designed this month's cut file for CTK!)

I am working with the negative part of the cut file.  The leaf cut file was used to just create small clusters of leaves at the diagonal, and then backed them with the exclusive paper from CTK, and stitch it to the Carousel collection paper.  A bit of hand stitching around the borders of the cut out secure the piece, while a bit of foam adhesive props the leaves, thus adding dimension to the page.

The large chipboard from the Deat Lizzy collection that are included in this month's Add on Kit just needed a few drops of mist to come to life and add a subtle color to the page.

A cluster of the exclusive embellishments just adds a small detail to this page:

Just love the look of the page (even when there is a lot of coverage from the different elements!).   Remember to check the Citrus Twist Kits blog to join us in the 3 to Inspire challenge of the week,.   The cut file is available at the CTK Facebook fans page, so stop by to pick a copy of it.

Take care!
