Summer memories

Hello!

It's Mira here again and I am bringing You another Pocket Inspiration where You'll see August Pocket Life and Sprinkles Kits in action!
There's plenty to share so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, OK?

Don't You love documenting Your Summer adventures? I really really do! There's so many pictures to include in the album! So many great and sunny memories! I just love going back to those memories in the middle of winter!

Here are the details:

Again - a lot of Amy Tan stickers! They go perfectly with Dear Lizzy puffy stickers (PL Kit) and Fancy Pants Puffy Dot Stickers (from Sprinkles Kit), bringing a lot of energy to the pages! And their colors are amazingly juicy!

I made so many pages with those two August kits (didn't have a chance to photograph them all) still I have so many goodies left and ready to play with! I'm sure You'll agree with me that working with Citrus Twist Kits is pure pleasure!

Thank You for coming here today! Have a fantastic week!
ps. Are You ready for a September Kits reveal?

Two ingredients to create magic

Hello!

It's Mira here today sharing an idea of how You can bake Your own AWESOME Clean&Simple Project Life cards with only two ingredients! One of them is Amy Tangerine sticker pad from August Pocket Life Kaleidoscope Kit. Second magic ingredient for today will be tadaaaaa: white cardstock!

You see? This is going to be VERY Simple idea:

You can use one sticker only, attach it to the center of Your card and You'll just love the effect!

But You can go further and create patterns! I made two cards with donuts and one with owls:

These cards are so cheerful that I didn't need anything else to embellish my pocket page!

I really hope You like the idea that I presented here today. Be sure to visit CTK blog tomorrow to see more of these stickers in action! I promise there will be more than just stickers :D

Take care, and don't forget to share Your projects with us!

Pocket Life Sketch Friday with Kasia

Hello on Friday! It's Kasia here with another Pocket Life post!

You might have noticed by now that I love to keep my pocket scrapbooking spreads simple and rather minimalistic. Of course I love beautiful embellishments and colorful bits and pieces which decorate my album but the base of my pages is usually white and bright.

This month though... as soon as I opened the Pocket Life kit I knew that I'll have to bend my own rules regarding the color scheme of the album. You know this new Dear Lizzy 6x6 paper pad from August kits - well I fell in love with it and immediatley made it foundation of my pages!

I created my own cards by trimming some papers from paper pad and from the main Scrapbook kit from August. I also used here few of the Citrus Twist Kits exclusive cards.

To brighten up the pages and calm some of the busy designs on patterned papers I decided to make my own journaling blocks - again I grabbed the Pocket Life cards, trimmed them and layered on my base cards. This little trick helped me a lot and my composition became much more pulled together.

The tiny bits and pieces and cute embellishments are my favorite! I couldn't hold myself and decorated my pages with pieces from various August kits - it always amazes me that they mix so nicely together!

What are your favourite embellishments? I definitely like the puffy stickers and word stickers the most! Can't stop hoarding them :)

I wish you fun and creative weekend! If you need some extra inspirations here are the sketches that I hope will help your creative jucices flow!

Make sure to share with us the things that you made with August kits on Instagram or Facebook! It's always fun to see your creations! :)

Let's Get Digital | August 15, 2016

Good Morning, friends!

This is Melissa here with you this fine Monday morning and I'm sharing what I made using the Citrus Twist Digital file from August kits.

I really loved the phrase "A Great Big Love"! I cut it out on white card stock and ended up using the negative of the phrase instead of the words that were cut out. I cut out phrase in a 4x6 block and adhered it to a piece of pattern paper and used that as one of my cards in my album. I jazzed it up a bit by smearing some orange watercolor on the edges. I also used the silhouette of the hearts all stacked up and stitched that down on another 4x6 piece of pattern paper and then used my typewriter to the right of it and typed out my journaling.

How have you been using your kit this month? Make sure to share with us!

3 To Inspire with Tara

Hello lovelies! Today it's Tara here on the blog sharing this week's installation of:

I love, love, LOVE 3 To Inspire because it helps give me direction when I am stuck in a rut and I just love recipe challenges. I hope you join me this week and get crafting! Don't forget to play along for your chance to win some happy mail - just read through the end. Here are your prompts:

1. use memorabilia
2. use word stickers/thickers
3. add in handwritten journaling

Here is the pocket page I created using August's "Kaleidoscope" Pocket Life and Sprinkles kits:

I am loving all the fun goodies found in the kits this month!!! I used Amy Tangerine's "hello" from the 'Oh Happy Life' sticker book to add a subtle but much needed extra on my photo by the hot springs. Here is a closer look.

I thought it would be so fun to use the Pocket Life stamp phrase "daily grind" and write "weekend" over it. And those acetate hearts from from Crate Paper's 'Cute Girl' line...I can't get enough of them!!

Sometimes I find myself using more photos or fun embellishments and journaling cards instead of documenting the stories. I really wanted to focus on that and I encourage everyone to embrace their handwriting! I know it can sometimes be intimidating, but just have a go at it.

And finally, here is where I used memorabilia. I used one of the ticket stubs from visiting the Roman Baths and turned it to show the backside. I then used it as a layering piece under our family photo.

I added more little layers from the patterned paper split pack. I just love them so much!


Ok, now it's your turn. Create something fun using these three prompts for a chance to win some happy mail. Share your creations in our Gallery and/or Facebook Forum .
