CTK: Life Crafted Kit: 3 To Inspire!

Hi Friends! 

Welcome back for more Citrus Twist Kits: March Kit inspiration! 

Today I am sharing a few projects for the awesome 3-to-Inspire challenge! 

Before we get started here's the 3 things you'll need to feature in your projects to play along; 

1. Use pattern paper. There are so many gorgeous designs in both kits this month - so use them up!

2. Include chipboard embellishments. Again, there's a vast array of these in both kits!

3. Add Die Cuts / Ephemera. An easy one to keep things light hearted, &  just get you creating! 

Now, onto the good stuff! 

Firstly, here's what I've created with using my Life Crafted Album & March Life Chapters Kit!

Sigh! Sweet dreams, indeed! 

Such darling pages & a great design to showcase that fabulous pattern paper! 

Here's a closer view....

On closer inspection you'll spy that I have also used the 3 x 8" book mark as part of my page base too! The vintage appearance of this book mark softens the boldness of the pattern paper, and also adds a more masculine feel to the page! 

The chipboard sentiment circles, combined with the star ephemera are the perfect finishing touch! 

I also created a new 'tabbed' section for my Life Crafted Album using the March Life Chapters Kit too.....

Sigh! Isn't this pretty?! I instantly fell in love with that floral paper and knew I'd make a real feature of it! The cream scalloped pocket is also a fave of mine from this month's kit! 

(Especially as I love hidden journaling and interactive album pages!) 

& speaking of interactive elements, the "Did you ever hear the story of..." journal card is the BEST prompt card for this new section of my Life Crafted Album. A place to record all life's little chapters & stories! 

The hearts are such a soft take on chipboard stickers, and really add an elegant touch! Beautiful!

Next up is a super pretty layout that I've created using the March Scrapbooking Add On Kit, 

"Happy"

Oh!!! Such loveliness! 

You'll spy pattern papers Happy Place & Good Times from the Pinkfresh Studio Everyday Musings collection. I may be a lil biased when it comes to Pinkfresh Studio, but this line really has my heart! Oh.so.pretty!!! 

To showcase more of these gorgeous pattern papers, I also fold up the edges to reveal the B sides....

I layer & embellish this page with lots of the Everyday Musings ephemera too! 

For the chipboard element, you'll spy more of those exclusive ones from the March Life Chapters Kit, as well as a chipboard frame from the February Scrapbooking Add On Kit. 

Such a gorgeous photo cluster! 

Love it!

And there you have it! 

Three very beautiful projects for today's 3-to-Inspire challenge! 

I hope you'll join me and play along! 

Don't forget to share your CTK projects with us in the Citrus Twist Kits Facebook Fan Page HERE! 

We really love seeing what you create and love to talk all things paper craft!

The Cut Shoppe: All Heart

Hi Everyone! 

Welcome back for more super fun, digital cut file inspiration!

Today I am sharing a cute & sweet layout of my two darlings with 

The Cut Shoppe's,  All Heart file....

"Here Together"

Isn't this adorable?!!

I have combined the All Heart file with the beautiful Pinkfresh Studio: Everyday Musings collection. So bright & beautiful! A really cute & fun page! & those colors just scream Spring! 

The All Heart cut file is one of my all-time favorites! 

Here's a closer look at it....

Such a fabulous design! & you can never have too many hearts! 

Get the All Heart digital cut file from The Cut Shoppe HERE.

Here's a few close up shots of my layout....

Those hearts are really something! 

Loving the mixed colored alphas over the red ones - so fun!  

I layered my sweet framed photo through the center of the design, and embellished it with a few stickers. You'll notice that I kinda filled the hearts in rainbow order, so to draw more attention to my photo, I only used blue embellishments. So striking!

The All Hearts file is ALL kinds of awesomeness! 

I hope my layout has inspired you to use it too!

Pinkfresh Studio: Everyday Musings & February Challenge!

Hi Everyone! 

Welcome back for more Pinkfresh Studio inspiration! 

It's a new month, and that means time for a new monthly challenge! 

Here's what the February monthly challenge looks like.....

Oh what a gorgeous color palette!!!

I couldn't wait to dive into the new Everyday Musings collection and create a love themed project! 

Here's what I came up with....

"One Of A Kind"

Nawww! 

Love that man in the photo! We really do share a one of a kind love story!

I was instantly drawn to the colors in the February challenge and as such, made a real feature of the reverse sides of pattern papers, EVERYDAY,  & HAPPY PLACE. 

The pastel pink with the warm red are just too pretty together! 

I used the Half Hearted digital cut file (courtesy of The Cut Shoppe) to enhance the love theme, and backed it with those gorgeous pattern papers. 

I also used the EVERYDAY paper to trim the side edges of my layout too! Love it! 

To ensure my treasured photograph remained the focal point of my layout, I layered it onto a blue JOURNALING POCKET, and embellished with gold accents! The pop of blue really captures attention, and is just a bit preeeeeeetty! (Love me some blue!) 

You'll spy both DIE CUT EPHEMERA & PUFFY STICKERS with gold foil. I love the golden heart that I have used as a faux paperclip - too cute! 

My favorite embellishment though, is that divine LAYERED HEART STICKER! Gorgeous!

I feature more of the gold foil DIE CUT EPHEMERA for my foam mounted title, one of a kind.

For finishing touches, I added a few tiny heart PUFFY STICKERS to complete my page! 

Voila! 

Simple, sweet but oh so pretty! 

I hope that my take on the Pinkfresh Studio Monthly Challenge has inspired you to play along!
