Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  -  LOVE THIS LIFE -

Hi there,

It is the last week of August, which means a new kit from Citrus Twist Kits is about to be revealed (and has already landed at my doorstep!).  So, it is only fitting that i show you one last project using a few the August 2018, Perfectly Posh, kits.

The background for this page was created using the new Pinkfresh Studio liquid watercolor (available at Citrus Twiist Kits shop) and the new This is Life - Outdoor Adventures.  I wanted a very organic/rustic look for the background, so that it mirrors that of the picture.

To create the layers behind the picture, papers from both the add-on kit and Patterned paper kit were used.   

All the clusters were created using a combination of pieces from the Cut-apart sheet (available for free at Citrus Twist Kits), the chipboard stickers, tag pack from the add-on kit, as well as stickers from the embellishment kit.   All the sentiments surrounding the clusters come from the This is Life stamp set and the Outdoor Fun stamp.

To create the title, the watercolor of the background was repeated, and the camp image -from the This is Life stamp set- was added.   The Maggie Holmes sticker sheet included in the embellishment kit provides the small sentiment that creates the title.  Here is the final layout

Love how this turned out.  The color combo and all the interest in the background are the perfect complement to this picture of my husband and son.  The following video willl show you how this was put together:

Hi there!  Nathalie with this week's 3-to-Inspire.   The newly released "Perfectly Posh" kits are so gorgeous, and packed with so many goodies, it was so easy to pick three prompts to inspire this week's' project.  Here are the prompts:

• Incorporate the Maggie Holmes Crepe Fringe
• Add butterflies
• Use fussy cut elements 
• 
  

This is how i combined the prompts in this project:

First, the background was created using a combination of the liquid watercolors from Pinkfresh Studio available at the shop.  I used Aquamarine, Blue Sky, Bubble Gum, and Yellow to create the watercolor look on the background. Make sure you check the watercolors at the store, they are so easy to work with ;)

While the background dried, i used papers from the "Perfectly Posh" Scrapbook kit to back the letters in the cut file/title - this cut file is available at the CTK store for free-, as well as to add layers behind the picture.  In addition, i took some time to fussy cut a few of the flowers from the Simplicity paper from PinkFresh Studio included in the kit.

A bit of foam adhesive was used to attached the title to the page, next i tucked the picture of my kids at the top corner of the title, and started to embellish the layout using all the fussy cut flowers, pieces from the cut apart page -available for free at the CTK store- as well as stickers and washi tape from  the embellishment kit.  

Lately, i have been creating pages with  hidden details, so i decided to use some of the crepe fringe as part of my peek-a-boo element in this page.   For this, i cut a piece of the Pinkfresh Studio Simplicity paper.  Next, i carefully glued the the fringe at about half an inch from the edge of the piece of paper, then trim the excess fringe. Since i wanted to have a long piece of fringe at the bottom layer, i continue to glue the fringe next to each other until the entire bottom edge of the paper was covered.  Then used a different color of the fringe just to add an extra layer above the one just glued. 

The paper with the fringe was glued to the bottom of the page.  Here i carefully distress the bottom edge of the cardstock so that the fringe border would show, and decided to add a butterfly from the foam stickers included in the "Perfectly Posh"kit to bring the eye to this detail.   So a few more butterflies around the page just bring the page together.

A few  stamped sentiments from the kit's stamp, and the "So Very You" Traveller's Notebook Stamp complete the title, and add a few more details on the page.  

Love how this page turned out.  This month's kits, add ons, digital files are amazing, so it made this page a true joy to put together.  And now it is your turn to use this week's prompts to create a page of your own.   Remember to share your finished projects on the Citrus Twist Kits Fan Page on Facebook or on social media (tag us using #citrustwistkits).  I cannot wait to see what you create with the prompts and all the August kits (they are so gorgeous!!)
