It's Mira and Andrea here and in today's post we'd like to invite You to join Citrus Twist Kits Facebook Fan Page (if You still didn't) and search this amazing place for a few freebie files that You can use in Your projects!
We prepared two cutting files and a lot of printables (You will find them later in the post) for You and created some inspirations to show You how they can be used! So! Let's begin with cutting files from Mira:
What I made with one of the files is a simple, no-picture layout that is opening my Pocket Life Album saying which year this is:
In January Pocket Life Kit I found a few CTK exclusive papers that were perfect for the opening page of my album - they are bright, intensive and strong and really motivating. I thought they could bring me the positive energy whenever I'd open the album.
I really love that delicate flower pattern on the other paper included in the kit, so I used it to add a little subtle effect to the page.
All those exclusive products from this month's PL kit are happily screaming: "Happy New Year! Happy New Year!" so I picked some of them, mixed with embellishments from Embellishment kit, added some final touches with my sewing machine and black ink splatters, and in one moment I created a very nice title page for 2017!
And hello again, from me, Andrea! I've partnered with Mira today as part of the “Let's Get Digital” scrappy fun, to bring you fun free printables to use for the new year too! You can get the printables on the Citrus Twist Kits Facebook FanPage, the same place where you can get Mira's beautiful cutfiles.
I created a two page spread using the
printable I designed and the amazing January kits – the main kit,
“Jameson”, and the “Oh Darling” add on kit, plus a couple of
things from the Sprinkles kit and the Embellishment kit. The kits
this month are so beautiful filled with such beautiful and bold
colors that really inspired me and made me feel bold and confident
with this new year that we have just begun! I am starting my project
life album for 2017 and so these will be the first couple of pages in
my 8 ½ x 11 album.
For my printables, I created two fun
pieces that can each be used in different ways, according to what
suits your needs. You may choose to print on photo paper, cardstock
or vellum or a combination (as I did). And the printables come in a
few different sizes (8 ½ x11 6x8 and 3x4 ) so if you are doing
pocket pages you may print the printable as a card as well. Do
whatever works for you! In my case, I like to do a mix of layouts and
pocket pages in my PL albums and I decided that I would begin my
album with a big bold statement cover page! I combined the pink polka
dot printable (which I printed out on semi-gloss photo paper) and the
black and white printable (which I printed out on vellum) and sewed
them together to make a statement piece for the beginning of my
album.
For the layout that I did to also start
out my new album for the new year, I chose to also go big and bold
with the use of a large picture. I chose a pic of myself that
reflected my thoughts on this new year, what I hope will be one
filled with great possibilities and a bright future on the horizon!
I used the bright bold colors and
patterns in the kit like the pretty multi-colored striped Crate Paper
patterned paper from the add on kit and the beautiful blue exclusive
paper from Citrus Twist in the Main kit. I chose embellishments that
I thought fit the “new year, new adventure” theme of my spread
and indeed my album for this year. I love the wood piece in the kit
that says “hello 2017” on it, the 2017 stamp, and the pieces from
the exclusive ephemera pack that say things like “be bold” and
“live your best”!
I hope you enjoy the printables and
that I have inspired you on how they can be used along with the
January kits to make a fun new start to your memory keeping this
year! Please share what you create on the Citrus Twist Facebook
Page...I would love to see all your creative ideas for how to use the
printables! Hope you enjoy the all the 2017 freebies from today's
“Let's Get Digital” with me, Andrea, and Mira...we so enjoyed
making these goodies for you and we can't wait to see what you do!
Happy Scrapping! – Andrea & Mira
