SUNDAY SKETCH with Katarina

 

Hi CTK friends,

Katarina back with you bringing this week's Sunday Sketch challenge and inspiration. Let's have a look at the gorgeous sketch first.

Now let's see my take on it. I created a layout in my 6x8 Life Crafted Album featuring the beautiful new Gratitude digital release and the Change is Beautiful digital ephemera.

I love circles on layouts and this time I wanted something really special. My son recently discovered my crocheting supplies and I had an idea to make a crocheted circle on my page. I love how it turned out! It goes perfectly with my title and the theme of the layout.

As a background I used two patterned papers from the Gratitude digital collection. My two photos are slightly bigger as I really wanted them to stand out.

For my title I used the White Foam Alphabet, and on the right side I also used the Pumpkin/Coffee Alphabet Stickers to write another small title.

I used the Change Is Beautiful Digital Ephemera and All About Me Tiny Words/Phrases Stickers to embellish my photos and circle. I cut one of the tags from the ephemera in two pieces and used one for journaling and the second one for adding date.

I really loved working with this fun sketch and hope that you got inspired too and that you join our challenge with your beautiful creations.

SUNDAY SKETCH WITH MARINA

Hello, CTK friends!

Today Marina with you and here is my inspiration in our Sunday Sketch Challenge!

 

Here's that beautiful sketch that helped me today: I used it "as is" but you remember that you can do literally anything with sketches, right?.. You can turn it to the right, to the left, or even upside down, you can mirror it - it all depends on your personal view :) 

...and this is what came out of it :)
For the design of the page I used our great Change Is Beauiful digitals and some physical All About Me Ephemera:

I couldn't pick any one background from our beautiful November Grattitude Kit, so I decided to add all of them! 

I kept all the basic elements of our sketch, but changed the shape of the photo to fit into the fall theme:

The beautiful designs from the October kit Change Is Beautiful matched the colors of our clothes perfectly, so I used them for the background.

Here and there I added golden colored dots to tell the story of the glow of the setting sun in the falling leaves:

Oh, and I love this mess, haha!

 

And honestly, I like the whole result a lot! :))

I love sketches and use them often when creating my pages, and you can find them on our blog literally every Sunday, don't miss out!

We always look forward to seeing what you create with them, so be sure to tag Citrus Twist Kits in your posts!

Thank you all for your attention and have a great week!

SUNDAY SKETCH with Katarina

 

Hey CTK friends!

It's Sunday again and it's Katarina back with you bringing the newest Sunday Sketch Challenge inspiration. Let's have a look at the gorgeous sketch.

And here's my project.

I created a layout in my 6x8 Life Crafted Album using the beautiful All About Me Kit and Stamps.

I really love how this collection inspires me to document all about myself and this time I wanted to journal about how amazing it is to finally have an e-bike and be able to keep pace with my boys.

I love all the patterned papers in the All About Me Kit so I used a bunch of them, combined with the Journal Cards and layered them behind my photo. This really helps the photo stand out. Alternatively, you can combine patterned papers with vellum to make it a little less busy.

I used one of the All About Me Ephemera pieces for my title and later I realised I have a lot of empty space on my photo, which really inspired me to use the Storytelling V2 All About Me Stamp and add another little title or note to self, if you want.

I added the beautiful All About Me Floral Ephemera around two corners of my photo as the sketch suggested and added a few enamel dots for a little detail.

I used one of the Journaling Cards from the collection for my journaling and tucked it behind the main cluster. 

I really love this beautiful sketch and the new All About Me products. Hope you feel inspired by the sketch and my project and that you join our challenge!

See you soon!

SUNDAY SKETCH WITH KATARINA

 

Hey CTK friends,

Katarina back with you with this week's Sunday Sketch and my inspiration for you. Let's see the sketch first.

And here's my take. I created an out of pocket layout in my 6x8 Life Crafted Layout featuring the beautiful July Going Places digital release. 

I used stripes of torn patterned printable paper on the top and bottom of the layout. 

Inspired by the sketch I layered three papers behind my photo. I used the beautiful sun ray digital patterned paper and a piece of matching teal cardstock as well as a contrasting grey patterned paper from the Going Places collection. Under the photo I used a combination of CTK exclusive stamps.

I used one of the digital journaling cards to fussy cut my title. I love how the colors play together, tone on tone. I again combined it with a tiny stamp to add a little detail. Then I added my handwritten journaling.

I wanted to keep the layout simple, so for my finishing touches I only added a bunch of puffy stickers, a die cut circle from the Going Places Digital Elements and stitching for some added interest.

I hope you find the sketch and my take on it inspiring and that you try creating your own version using the beautiful Citrus Twist products. Thank you for stopping by and see you next time!

Sunday Sketch with Nathalie

 

Hi there!

Welcome to a new Sunday Sketch challenge, Nathalie with you today to share some inspiration using this week's sketch and our new GOING PLACES Digital collection.  I am so glad to have the sketch to work with, as it helped me put the layout together super in no time (and trust me, I need another 24hours added to the day everyday!).   Here's this week's sketch:

And here is what I have created inspired on the sketch for my 6x8 Album

Sketches are like blueprints for your projects, and for me was a great way to bring a few ideas together.

I knew that I wanted lots of paper layers for my project, something that will bring the stitching texture,   as well as the little frames.  

I cut all the papers for this layout from the Going Places Digital Patterned paper, even the small frames are in the patterned paper designs for the month.  I had fun fussy cutting out the frames, and backing my photos with them.

I decided to flip the sketch 90 degrees, that meant the photos will be stacked vertically which helped with my design. Then it was all about bringing the little strip of paper that anchors the paper and the stitching together.... my choice,  let's "tie" the layers to the page!  The twine serves to anchor it all to the page, and adds the texture I was looking for.

I moved the location of the title to suit my page better.  I am using bits and pieces from past CTK kits to complete my page.

I love how this turned out! and it really came together in a flash!   Remember to share with us your take on this week's sketch!
