hi there!
My friends at Technique Tuesday are having a super fun promotion for the next few days on all their Travel theme stamps and dies, so, i chose to create a fun new spread for my Life Crafted album (Citrus Twist Kits) using their Perfectly Wonderful Stamp set and Snappy Camera Crafting dies.
I pulled a few pictures from our last trip to my native Ecuador and Pinkfresh Studio's Out and About collection to create this page. Once the background for my page was cut, and the pictures backed with papers from the collection, I decided to start working on the title card.
Using the Perfectly Wonderful stamp set and soft blue ink, the entire card was stamped with travel sentiments from the set. Then the Snappy Camera Crafting Dies were used to create a few camera die cuts, these were layered on the card. The title for this page was then stamped on a piece of the paper using the Perfectly Wonderful stamp set and layered on top of the die cuts with foam adhesive.
Using the Snappy Camera Crafty Dies, i cut the "Oh Snap"speech bubble to use as decoration for the second card. However, i chose to trim the small tail of the bubble and just leave the die cut as a label at the bottom of the picture.
For the other side of the spread, i used some of the Snappy Camera die cuts to create small clusters around the picture and journal spot. One last sentiment from the Perfectly Wonderful Stamp set was added at the bottom of the picture to complete this page. The following video will show you how it all came together:

Hi there!
It is the start of a new month, which means lots of new goodies to play with have just been revealed. I am madly in love with this month's Citrus Twist Kits Best of This Life kits and stamps. So, i pulled some pieces together to create a few layouts in my family album (also from Citrus Twist Kits).
For this entry, i enlarge the picture to fit the entire page of the album, then added a small cluster of ephemera from Pinkfresh Studio Out and About collection -included in the add-on kit- at the top corner of the picture followed by a few stamping sentiments using the Traveler's Notebook stamp set
For the other side of the page, I chose the Life Crafted Pocket Page configuration 2 and added my lines of journal to one of the Bonus Subscriber card. Then backed the picture with another one of the cards and added more ephemera from the Out and About collection included in the add on kit.
I used the b side of the pocket page to create a new entry for my album. First i pulled some of the Best of This Life kit's PL cards and backed the picture of with it, and added some lines of journal to the other one.
I brought some ephemera from the Add-on kit -i chose red pieces to bring the colors from the pictures onto this page-. One of the cut apart labels were then used to cover the title in the card, and chose to add some stamping instead using the This is Life"Chasing Curiosities" and a few stickers from the add on kit.
For this page, i cut one of the Best of This Life kit papers (love a good grid paper) and added the pictures of my son on his work/vacation trip to a soccer tournament in New Jersey. I used the large ephemera piece from the Out and About collection to add the title to the center of the page, and then added a small star sticker at the bottom corner of the page -as stars were the image that repeated on all three cards-.
I hope you stop by Citrus Twist Kits to check all the materials used here. Trust me this little album and the amazing Best of This Life kits will transform the way you document your everyday ( who knew pocket pages could be so fun!) as always please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions,
This week the DT at Scrapbook Nerd has been asked to work projects with focus on masculine/boy themes. So, i pulled a picture of my son and nephew and the Pinkfresh Studio Out and About collection to document it.
Firstly, i used a cut file from Handipaper to bring the eye to the focus of the page. This cut file was cut twice from white cardstock, and then backed with papers from the collection.
For the base of the page, i used the Travel Icons paper and then added a strip of the Scenic Route paper in the center of the page so that it would ground the layout. The cut outs were then added to the page so that they face the center, pointing towards the picture.
The picture was backed with one of the 6x6 papers, and a stitched frame. Two large clusters of ephemera were then added to the corners of the picture.
The title was then created using a mix of alphas from both the Indigo HIlls 2 collection and The Mix 2 collection -both from Pinkfresh Studio- . A few lines of journal complete this page
you can see how the page came together in the following video:
I hope this inspires you to create a project about those special men in your life. Remember to stop by Scrapbook Nerd to check all the materials used in this project.

Hi there!
Today Pinkfresh Studio is celebrating their 5th Anniversary with a fun blog hop! I am so glad you are stopping by as you are arriving from Yoonsun 's blog.
I am a huge fan and collector of Pinkfresh Studio goodies; i love their collections, stamps and dies, and might have a few or most of their products somewhere in my stash. So, I was ecstatic when they invited me to be part of the blog hop, and sent the beautiful Out and About collection for me to work with. Let me show you what i have created for today:
My first layout is all about combining the papers from the Out and About collection with the new Adore Alpha Die set. For this, i use the die set to create the background of the page, by diecutting all the words using the die from a single strip of white cardstock.
I used foam adhesive to prop the negative part of the cut on the b-side of the Travel paper, and then used the dies to cut the same words out of 6x6 paper pad. Then glued only the positive letter cut outs to fill in the letter spaces in the paper strip.
The Out and About collection is filled with beautiful embellishments so i used a combination of all of them to create clusters around the picture and the page. Here is the final layout:
Love the look of the page, but what to do with all the left over pieces from this page, well, i used them to create an entry on my Family album (Citrus Twist Kits Life Crafted)
This time i machine stitched a piece of the Explore paper to one side of my spread, and carefully used the letter die cuts to create a title for the entry. A bit of glue was all i needed to secure the letters to the page. I used the empty spaces at the bottom of the title to add a cluster of ephemera that tell a bit more of the story of this entry.
For the other side of the entry, i created a pocket with vellum and machine stitching, and used it as a layer behind the picture. I attached both to a page created from the Scenic Look paper. I repeated some of the embellishments in the cluster of the picture, and the housed my journal in a tag (from the collection) which is tucked inside the vellum pocket behind the picture.
The designs and colors in this collection are versatile and vibrant, and perfect to document travel and every day memories, here is another project in my little Family Album that uses this collection:
I used the tags in this collection to add the travel feel to this two part PL spread. Once again, i used the embellishments and papers to bring these memories together in my album.
For the first part of my spread, i used the colors and shape of the embellishments to bring your eye to the picture of my daughter and littles roaming around the mall. The tag houses the journal lines, and it is attached to the album with pieces of acetate as they will be the division/linking piece of the complete spread.
This part of the spread has a more monochromatic look, but still works as a whole with the first part of the spread. The hint is placement and repetition on the embellishment shapes. I glued the two tags together, so that they can easily be flipped between the two sides of the spread. LOVE how this came together.
And now to the last project created for this blog hop. For this page, i combined the Out and About collection with a bit of Liquid watercolor.
I kept the page simple, but added lots of embellishments that help me tell the story of a day visiting the city's skyline on a ferry boat. Here is a video that shows you how it all came together:
The page is simple, colorful, and a just representation of our little city adventure. The papers, embellishments of the Out and About collection are enhanced by the simple mixed media background.
Now it is time to get the celebration started with some giveaways:
There will be (3) Grand Prizes picked from the Pinkfresh blog: Liquid Watercolor full set, Set of our 3 current paper collections, and the entire April Essentials die release.
