Awesome Life Antics

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  -  AWESOME LIFE ANTICS  -

Hi there!


Today, I want to share with you all a new layout created using  this month's Citrus Twist Kits Sugarland Kits.   The kits this month are so beautiful that they have pretty much sold out!.     Trina does a great job curating this awesome kits.

This page was created using a Studio Calico cut file.  To back the cut out, all the washi tapes from the All The Good Things collection from Vicki Boutin (my boss) were attached to a piece of paper, and then used to back the "X" space.  The "O was backed with a paper from the kit.

The picture was then framed with the beautiful pom pom frames from Crate Paper.  And just a few embellishments were used around the entire layout, as there is so much going on the cut itself.

One of my favorite things from all the CTK kits are the stamps and exclusives, and i used some of them to create part of the title of this page.   Here is the complete page:

This page took no time to put together (just the hand stitching took a bit longer), but i love the end result.   The textures, colors, and overall look bring the picture of my kids to focus.   The following video will give you a more in-depth look on how this page came together:

I hope you are inspired by the project.  If you have not checked Citrus Twist Kits, then just click here to be taken to the website.  The kits are amazing (and wait to see what is coming in February!!)   Remember I am always a comment away if you have questions on how this came together.

Take care!!!

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  - BE YOU -

Hello!


Welcome to my blog! 

It is my turn to share some inspiration over at Scrapbook Nerd, and this time around, I wanted to use a bit of mixed media and Vicki Boutin's new All The Good Things collection to create a soft layout about my daughter.

For this layout, I chose a rather masculine palette, and worked some Vicki Boutin art crayons to create this background on the Vicki Boutin Foundation paper.  Once the page dried,  it was trimmed and stitched to one of the pages in the 12x12 paper pad.

While the background dried, a cut out (created from a Silhouette cut file) was backed with vellum, and the picture was backed with layers of papers from the collection.

To set up the page, a small cluster of ephemera and a small cut out were glued to the bottom of the page,   The butterfly was then attached to the page (as in fight) using some foam adhesive.

The title for this page comes from some of  the ephemera from the collection.  The gold glitter heart and arrow bring attention to the title, and also  create a cluster around th bottom part of the  picture.   A few fussy cut butterflies and some gold splatters complete this page.

Just love how this page came together.  The colors in the background complement the ones in the butterflies and frame the picture beautifully. Remember to check Scrapbook Nerd for all the materials used in this page. 

If you have questions on how this came together, do not hesitate to contact me!


Take care!

My Personal Journal - Week 3

Hey there!

Hope you all had a great weekend!   We are gearing towards the end of January already.   Suddenly everything is becoming pink and red, indications that February (and Valentine's Day) is around the corner.    Luckily, I am still on track with my daily journal, and here are this week's entries

I am using all my PL kits from Citrus Twist Kits and Studio Calico to complete the entries.   In addition, I am using all my CTK stamps along with Pinkfresh Studio and Studio Calico.

This week, I couldn't limit my days to a single picture, so I decided to create inserts and tip ins to    complete some of the entries on my TN

I hope you are also capturing and documenting your days, and still keeping my fingers crossed, that i keep up with my daily entries.

Till next time,


Nathalie
