PSL

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  - PSL -

Hi there!
Everything around me is FALL and i love it!!  I love the season for so many reasons, but i think PSL has to be up there in the list of my faves!  So, I  took advantage of the Sweater Weather add on kit from Citrus Twist Kits to create a layout about our love for Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Cinnamon tea for my daughter!.

It all started with the Cup of Joy Cut file -available for free at the CTK shop -, and all the beautiful papers from the Simple Stories Forever Fall collection that are included in the kit.  I used my Silhouette to create the cut out and used them to paper piece the cup.

Before starting the paper piecing, i embossed a few leaves on white heavy cardstock, and then used Distress Oxides to bring the Fall tones to the background. 

Once it was all ready, I backed the picture of our cups  -which happen to match the colors of the cup-  with some of the papers i used, and attached it to the background.   Then i glued the paper cup on top of the picture, so that it looks like it is tucked into the cup. 

To embellish the page, i pulled the chipboard and die cuts from the Sweater Weather kit  -they are from the Forever Fall collection from Simple Stories- and added a few clusters around the picture and the cup.   This month's Little Things Stamp set from CTK had all the stamped sentiments, which complete the clusters.

For the title, i pulled a few more embellishments and the Amy Tangerine alphas included in the kit to create a small title in a cluster at the bottom of the page.  A few lines of journal and some gold ink complete this page:

Love how this turned out, unfortunately the Sweater Weather kit has sold out at the CTK store, but all the rest of the stamps, embellishments, cut files, and stamps can still be found in the store, so stop by to check them all out.

As always let me know if you have questions on how this all was put together.

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  - FALL BEAUTY -

Hi there!
It is time to share this week's project for Scrapbook Nerd, and since this week we are hosting an online crop, i thought to share the project created for the crop.

I started by creating the background using one of the papers from the Simple Stories High style paper pad, and a bit of Prima Watercolor.  Once it dried, a wreath cut out was split in half and then propped on foam dots so that the leaves meet in the middle.

The picture was backed and layered with papers from the Simple Stories Forever Fall collection, and then nestled in between the leaves clusters.  These were also the perfect spot to add lots of small details using embellishments from the collection.

The title was then added using a combination of the stickers from the collection, and alphas from the Sn@p basics pack.   Once it was all glued together, then the  page was trimmed on all sides, and glued to the b side paper from the VIntage Halloween collection from SImple Stories.  Here is the final layout:

Maybe is the Fall lover in me, but this is so beautiful to me!  I hope it inspires you to come join us in the Scrapbook Nerd Friends page on Facebook to join the challenges. Remember to check Scrapbook  Nerd for all the materials used here, and let me know if you have questions on how this was put together.
