Love This | Life Crafted Spread

Citrus Twist Kits Life Crafted using Make it a Venti Kit - Lydia Cost

I know it's going to be a huge shocker, but I really don't like coffee... gasp, I know!  I'm an avid hot tea drinker, so I have to get a little creative with this month's kit for that reason.  It really isn't that hard though because this month's kit includes a great selection of versitle colors and patterns that work just fine for documenting all the other exciting things in our life!

I wanted to document this great photo of my little and I at a hockey game this winter, and I figured the blue seating in the background would pair nicely with the gorgeous papers in the kit this month.

On my photo side, I cut that beautiful floral paper at an angle to place behind my photo, and I knew I wanted to continue that angle onto the opposing page.  This was great for angling my title as well, using the "LOVE" piece of ephemera and the great puffy stickers in this month's kit.

On the opposing page, I decided to stitch on the opposite edge of the floral paper, so that I could create a pocket for a journaling card.

This journaling card actually has a white border around it, but I liked it for this particular project without, so I simply trimmed it off with my scissors.  I then stitched on some lovely mint tulle.  An easy-peasy spread, but the colors are oh so lovely!

Thanks for joining me today!  I can't wait to see what you guys are making with this month's kit!
