EVERYDAY DOCUMENTING - CItrus Twist Kits

Hi there!
It has been so busy lately in our household, between work, the kids and every day life,  but having the Life Crafted Album and the September kits at hand have made it easier to be able to record my memories on  a daily basis.

It is no secret that i love large titles, so i reached for the Spencer Stamp set and used it to create my title in different papers of the Explore kit, and fussy cut them to create my title.  I chose the navy paper from the Add-on kit as it will show tall the papers nicely.

I chose to mat a piece of the wood grain paper from the Explore kit on a colorful paper from the Add-on kit.   Then used a few stickers to embellish the page, as I wanted the picture and story to stand out.

For my next page, i used a combination of papers from the Explore and Add-on kit.  Since I was stamping onto papers, i chose to do the same for this page, and stamped my title on  one of the Explore kit papers and fussy cut it.

I worked with layers for this layout, and added one of the ephemera pieces under the beautiful typewritten teal paper.  Then added the title on a block and added a layer of embellishments to complete my title page.

I continue to work on layers on the other side of the page, and chose to use branding stripe as a layer behind the paper, and then layered ephemera in a cluster behind the picture.  All those clear stickers on the Add on kit can easily pop on  page once you add them to white cardstock and fussy cut them. 

I love how easy this came together, and honestly it  took no time to put them together with the September 2019 Citrus Twist Kits.  Make sure you check them out!

LIFE CRAFTED DOCUMENTING - Citrus Twist Kits

Hi there!

Nathalie with you today with a few ideas on how to combine the fabulous EXPLORE Life Crafted kit with this month's digital cut files.  One of the perks of subscribing to Citrus Twist Kits is that you receive digital subscribers only  cut files and additional PL cards that will stretch your kit.   I pulled a few of these files and created a few entries in my albums:

Let's start with a simple idea on using the cut file to create title PL card.

I cut the "Find Joy Everyday" cut file to create the 4x6 title card in this layout.  The cut file was sized to fit inside a 4"x6" card and cut from white cardstock.  It then was glued to a piece of the Explore kit papers  cut to fit inside  Insert 3 configuration.

I added a few embellishments using pieces from the add on.  The journaling spot was created using digital files and embellished with puffy stickers and some stamped sentiments from the Traveler's Notebook stamp set.

I used a tag  (available in the CTK shop) to add my picture.   A small cluster  was then added using a combination of pieces from both the Explore kit, cut apart elements and Pinkfresh Studio embellishments (available at the CTK shop).

Each month there are new cut files added to the subscriber's perks, and the new BeYouTiful was one that i wanted to use to create the title page for this layout.

The cut file was sized to fit the width of the Life Crafted page, cut from white cardstock and then backed with papers from the Explore LC kit.   I used the woodgrain paper as the background for the page, so that all the colors and butterflies will pop from the page.

The collage  of photos of my girlies fits the 4"x6" space from Insert 3, so all that was left to do was create the journal spot.  This was easy to do by combining pieces from the PL cards, cardstock and puffy stickers and some of the cut outs.  The following video will show you how it was put together:

If you are a subscriber remember to check the Digital tabs to get all this month's cut files.  You can also purchase some of the cut file designs in the CTK digital shop, but consider subscribing to CTK  -our subscribers receive a few perks each month-.

That is all for me today.  If you have questions on how these came together, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Til next time,
