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!

Scrapbook Layout created for Clique Kits's December Challenge  - LOVE -

Hello everyone!

It is challenge time over at Clique Kits, and this month we are using the beautiful "Wonderland" kit.  The kit features Bella Blvd's You are Loved collection, as well as Pink Paislee's Moonstruck collection.   I have created a small video on how the layout was constructed, enjoy watching:

I hope you enjoyed the short video!  Here are a few notes and close ups on how the layout came together:

The background was created by welding some of the exclusive cut files -available for purchase in the Clique Kits store- .  I wanted the  look of the word love being transported by flying butterflies, so I size them to give the illusion of movement.   Once the cut out was created, I backed the butterflies with papers from Pink Paislee Moonstruck collection.   Also, I used some handstitching to secure the word love to the offset to the word that is welded to the butterflies.  A few machine stitches secure the butterflies to the layout.

To make sure the picture was also highlighted, I transform it into black and white, layered a few papers from the Moonstruck collection's 6x6 pad ( this is an add-on to this month's Wonderland Kit), and pieces of ephemera from the collection along with Clique Kit's exclusives, and Illustrated Faith's tabbies.

To finish, I added a few enamel dots, stickers, journal lines and the date when this picture was taken.    In addition, i added a few splatters of navy ink along the path already created with gold, pink, blush and teal color shine  drops.  Here is the final layout:

I really hope you can join us for this month's challenge over at Clique Kits, and while there check this month's Wonderland kit and all its add ons.  You can use the code NATHALIE10 to obtain 10% discount at checkout.
