Life Crafted with Alena

It's Alena here, and today I want to share with you a new Life Crafted project I made using the beautiful  January "Fierce and Fabulous" kit and This Life "Fierce" stamp.

For the basis, I took a white cardstock. Then I added strips of patterned paper, on which I placed photos and embellishments.

When I saw this patterned paper with leaves, I immediately knew that I would cut them out.  Their color perfectly matches my photos. I also added pink and orange elements.

I wanted to add some black accents and used  January This Life "Fierce" stamp for that.

Thank you for stopping by today! Please share what you create with your kits in our Facebook group and/or on Instagram tagging @citrustwistkits so we can see!

Pocket Page Challenge with Diane

Hi guys! Diane here with another Pocket Page Challenge for you!

When it comes to my Project Life albums, my motto is always "done is better than perfect". So I always aim to keep things as simple as I possibly can.

So my challenge to you today is: Keep things simple and add a pop of colour!

The biggest trick I have for keeping things simple is to batch my tasks. So when I sit down to print my photos, I ALWAYS try to do 3 or 4 weeks worth of photos in one sitting. That way, when I have a bit of time, I can spend it getting creative, not printing photos!

For this spread, I kept things very simple by choosing cards that fit the photos I already had printed and adapting them as I needed (like trimming a banner shape and tucking my photo underneath).

I also choose to use a list style of journaling for this week. It's a technique that always makes things a bit quicker for me.

I choose to add a consistent pop of yellow across my spread. It helps to tie everything together and create a cohesive page. I choose yellow because of the yellow on the journalling card I used. Then I added a fabric circle...

... and a couple of yellow puffy stickers to two of my cards.

I also added a yellow label to my title card to keep it all tied together.

Here's a look at the process this spread took ...

I can't wait to see what you do with this challenge so don't forget to post your layouts in the Facebook Fan Page so we can see!

Messy Stamping TN - January Life Crafted Kit

Hello!  Lorilei here today sharing two spreads in my Life Crafted Album using the January 2020 Life Crafted Kit and stamps!

I started this spread by doing a lot of messy stamping down the left side of the spread and an area on the right side.  I used the little heart from the Traveler's Notebook stamp and various colors of ink to match my photo!

I embellished with some florals from the January 2020 Scrapbooking Add-On and used both the alphas included along with my Spencer stamps for a big fun title!

My next spread uses the same little heart for stamping and I mixed in the Fierce stamp set as well!

I mixed in some fussy cut florals from the January Scrapbooking Add-On as well, they go so well with the Life Crafted die cuts!

I love the Citrus Twist Stamp sets!  They are a favorite part of the kit for me!

Thanks so much for joining me today!
