Time Together

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  - TIME TOGETHER -

Hi there!

It is time to show you one more project created with the beautiful December "Sonoma" kit from Citrus Twist Kits.   This time, I limited my color palette, and decided to add mixed media to create this simple and clean design.   

It all started by using some watercolor to create the soft background.  Then a few details were added using some gold modeling paste through a stencil.     The finished background was then stitched to some pieces of paper from the kit!

To keep the page simple, the clusters on the pictures were also limited to the same color palette, and built completely by layering ephemera and sticker pieces.

To complete the visual triangle, a small cluster of pieces and mixed media was added to the opposite side of the picture.    A thin line of gold ink drops and stencil lines connects this cluster to the picture.  Here is the final layout:

Love the soft feel of the page, and the layers of mixed media and papers created in this layout. 

I hope you are inspired to create a page of your own,   Remember to check Citrus Twist Kits for all their kits  (they are all gorgeous!!!).   I am always a comment away if you have questions on how this came together.

Take care!

Create Magical Memories

Hi there!


Nathalie with you today bringing you some  Christmas inspiration using this month's gorgeous Sonoma main scrapbooking kit, and this month's digital file.

Upon receiving the kit, I fell in love with this month's stamp ( it is all about crafting!, and those starburst!!), and that was the inspiration for this month's cut file (which is available for free in the  Citrus Twist Kits Fan Facebook page).

To create the soft and winter-like background, I chose to cut all the star images from white cardstock , and backed them with white vellum.   I love wood grain paper!, so I chose the American Crafts paper as the background for my page.  A few drops of shimmer white and gold watercolor  was added before gluing the die cut stars.   All the negative pieces from the die cuts were glued to the paper, while the stars were attached with a bit of foam adhesive, just to add dimension to the page.

To bring the focus to the picture of my 3 kids a few years ago, I chose to layer papers and pieces from the Sonoma main kit, but also added a few splashes of pink by adding some stickers from the Embellishment kit ( love all the new Crate Paper goodies added to the kits!)

This month's add-on stamp worked perfect to add sentiments around the page, as the picture is from a few years ago.  I kept the color combo in each of the clusters similar so that they complete the visual triangle in the page. 

Though  the cut file had the word "create" in it.   I just loved the  the look of the gold alphas that are included in the kit.

I hope you all stop by the Citrus Twist Kits Fan Facebook page, and pick up your copy of the cut file.    Remember to share the projects created with the cut file, and tag CTK when sharing them  on social media.

Let me  know if you have any questions on how this came together.

XOXO
