Fresh Starts Kit | Hello 2019 with Cece

Hiya, friends! Cece here and I'm so excited to show you what I've been doing with the new Citrus Twist (Life Crafted) Fresh Starts Kits! I absolutely love this new style and the TN is one of my favorite sizes to work with. I have also recently been loving memory keeping and this has been such a fun way to do it. This is what I would call my introductory page. For this page I decided to document my word for the year and my reason behind it. 

This HELLO sticker is from last month's Grace Box while the 2019 is from this month's kit. Love how it brings my page together!

I completed the page with the word YES at the bottom and this beautiful sticker that says -- time for a new beginning.

I loved creating these two spreads and it was so much fun for me. The Life Crafted Kit made it so easy to put everything together.

I can't wait to see what you are doing with this month's kit. Please don't forget to share it over on the Citrus Twist Fan Page.

Have a great rest of the week.

Tuesday Tutorial with Cece

Hiya, friends! I’m here with a Tuesday Tutorial for you using this month’s GraceBox. I love all the elements that came in this month’s kit! Today, I’m working in the new Illustrating Bible.

First off, I used the Dina Wakely yellow acrylic paint and swiped it down using a paint card. I love this technique because it is the easiest way for me to get some paint or color down on my page, mess-free. 

Next, I added some washy tape in matching colors to give this page a bit of interest. 

Then I added the devotional card that came with the kit and clusters of Paige Taylor Evans whimsical floral die-cuts on the top and bottom corners of the page. 

Last, I added the gold puffy alpha stickers to write out the word HUMILITY and some words from the stamp set and filled in the empty spaces with the super cute puffy mini heart stickers to give it a finished look. Finally, I topped the page with a bow clip that matched the colors I used on this page. 

Here are a couple more closeups.

Sad to say this kit's already been sold out, but you can always still get the December kit which will be out before you know it! For those who have this kit, I can't wait to see how you create with it. Please share it over on the Citrus Twist Fan Page Facebook group.

I'm Cece and you can follow me on Instagram (@candiescorner) if you'd like to see more Bible journaling processes or posts. Until next time...

3-to-Inspire with Cece

Hi, friends! Cece here with a 3-to-Inspire challenge for you! 

For today's challenge, I am using:

1. Acrylic Paint

2. Thicker Word Stickers

3. Alpha Stamps

Here's a page I made in my Bible using elements from the GraceBox kit. 

1. Acrylic Paint in blue and purple which I swiped down using a paint card. This technique is a great way to get a nice thin layer of paint down on your page and is great for when you don't have a whole lot of time to paint in your Bibles or projects.

2. I love this pack of Thicker Stickers with all the fun words! I used the words "a" that I took out from another word and "adventure" that I cut up in syllables to give it some interest and fill up more of the margin space.

3. This beautiful Citrus Twist Kits Alpha Stamp set in this lovely font I used to spell out the word "great" for "a great adventure".

And here is the finished page! I love how simple and beautiful it turned out!

I'm excited to see how you use the elements in this kit! Be sure to join our Facebook group so we can all see how you created your lovely page.

Tuesday Tutorial with Cece

Hey, friends! Cece here with a Tuesday Tutorial for you all. Today, I'm sharing how this Bible journaling entry I did using the elements from this month's GraceBox came together.

First, I wanted to put some paint down on my page. The easiest way for me to get some color down was to use the paint card technique where I just put a bit of acrylic paint at the edge of my paint card and swiped the paint from left to right. I swiped down some light pink first in three different areas, then waited for it to dry before swiping down a sunny yellow color just below or above the pink.

Next, I fussy cut these florals from one of the patterned paper, used the Willow Lane alphas and "enough" die cut and placed them down to my liking.

Then I added the words "Christ is..." right above "more than enough." I knew I wanted to add more elements, so I placed some washy and layered them on top of each other on both the top and bottom and of the page. Then I took the Maggie Holmes Willow Lane Sparrow pattern paper and cut up the birds and placed them around the page and added some heart and cross die cuts to fill up some of the empty spaces.

Last, I added some lines to write down a short prayer and topped the page with the ribbon clips I made using the fabric strips that came in the kit.

I hope you enjoyed today tutorial. Come check out my on Instagram (@candiescorner) to see what else I've been doing with this kit and to follow my progress.

If you haven't already, check out the details of this kit in the shop. I look forward to see what you do with it.

Have a blessed week and keep on creating!

3-to-Inspire with Cece

Hello, friends! Cece here today with a 3-to-Inspire challenge for you! This month's #gracebox is super fun and has a load of goodies to create and play with.

For today's 3-to-Inspire, I will be creating with:

+ Pinkfresh Puffy White Alpha Stickers
+ Dina Wakely Media Turquoise Acrylic Paint
+ Citrus Kit White Cardstock Die Cuts

  

I am creating in my 100 Days of Bible Promises by Shanna Noel today and I'm working on Day 48. First, I scraped down some of this gorgeous turquoise acrylic paint using an old credit card. I love how smooth this paint is and how easy it was to put down. The scraping technique is an easy way to get some color on your page with very little mess.



Next, I put down some stamps and the puffy white alphas and wrote out -- "I'm still here with you. Forever and always by your side."



Last, I put down some of the die cuts to fill in some of the white spaces above the words.

 

I loved working with all the elements of this kit and loved how this page turned out and hope you do too! Remember to share your pages on the Citrus Twist Kits FB Fan Page or on social media and use the hashtag #citrustwistkits. I'm excited to see what you do with this kit.

Wishing you a great weekend and God bless!
