I Believe You Can

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd -  I BELIEVE YOU CAN -

Hello there!

It is favorite week over at Scrapbook Nerd, a chance for all the DT to chose a favorite to showcase on a project.   Now, being a lover of pretty paper, it was hard for me to choose a favorite, but i love Paige Evans style, and her paper collections never disappoint ( i think I have hoarded pieces of each of her collections, and have bought doubles just to safe keep them in my shelves!)

For this page, i was inspired by all the beautiful and colorful butterflies in the Turn the Page 12x12 paper pad (they have gold foiling on them!), so I used a bit of my watercolors to create a soft background that graduated in colors, and formed a path to place the flying butterflies.

While the background dried, i spent quite a bit of time fussy cutting the images, and gluing a few of them together -this will help with creating the idea of flying when the wings are folded up.

Once all the pieces were ready to assemble, I carefully started gluing the butterflies to the respective color on the background.  Some of the butterflies were pop on  foam adhesive to add dimension and create levels on the page.

I just love the collection so much, and all the embellishments were perfect to add just a few details around the page, and to form the title on the layout about my daughter.   Here is the completed layout:

I just love how this page came together!   The Turn the Page collection is gorgeous and so versatile.  Just look at the colors, and design.  Honestly i have created so many projects with it, and still have lots of material left (not to count the entire collection I am keeping for later use  ;)  )  Remember to check all the collection at Scrapbook Nerd, this entire collection is available there!

I am always a comment away if you have questions on how this came together.


take care!

Magical Fall Moments -CTK

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  - MAGICAL FALL MOMENTS -

Hello Everyone!  Nathalie with you today, and I am so excited and grateful to share my first blog post as part of the 2018 CTK Design Team. 

What can I say about this month's Good Vibes Kit, besides that it is gorgeous, colorful and so versatile.  But if you are a patterned paper lover (as I am), then the Patterned Paper Play kit is what you need!.   Once I saw the color combo on these papers,  I knew that i could bring an Autumn page with a twist easily together.

It is not the traditional colors of an Autumn wreath, but it works perfect for the season.   I had a few white cardstock  leaves cut outs left over from previous projects, so I decided to use a simple Fall leaves cut file from the Silhouette Store, to cut  the leaves from papers in the Patterned Paper Play kit, as well as the main kit.  In addition, i use the same cut file to cut the same number of leaves from white vellum.

A bit of ink blending on the vellum leaves brings the colors of fall in a softer way to this page.  Once The wreath form was set, then a few machine stitches held it together.

To bring in the golden hues from the season, the chipboard alphas were colored using some antique gold acrylic paint.  Just love the color combination! -which may also work for all our friends enjoying Spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

If you would like to see how this page came together, just enjoy the following video:







I hope this serves as inspiration to use all the colors in these kits to put a modern twist on a classic.  Remember to check the Citrus Twist Shop for these kits.  I am a comment away if you have any questions on how this came together.

Take care!!!

Love Him

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  -  LOVE HIM  -

Hi there!


I hope you are all doing great!

Today, I wanted to share with you all a new project created with this month's GOOD VIBES main kit from Citrus Twist Kits.   The kit is just packed with papers and embellishments from Pink Paislee's Turn The Page collection, as well as Crate Paper's Carousel collection.

Once I saw the large title in the 'Radiant' paper -Crate Paper-, i knew it was going to become the title for one of my pages.  So I cut the "LOVE" part of the title, and treat each letter as a sticky note in my page.

A bit of  mixed media on top of the CrissCross paper (a CTK exclusive) brings all the cluster details around the page. Gotta love all the ticket stubs from the Crate Paper specialty paper included in the kit.

There are so many exclusive  embellishments in this kit, that it made this layout a breeze to come together.  Not to mention all the CTK stamps used in this layout.   Just gotta love how versatile, and easy they are to work with.  I have created a small video to show you how this page came together, so sit back and enjoy:

I hope the video gave you a closer look at the kits available at Citrus Twist Kits,  many of them have sold out, but there are still some available, so stop by the CTK store to subscribe to the upcoming kits.

Remember I am a comment away if you have questions on how this page came together.


Take care!
