Open Post with Angela

Hello everyone! 

It's Angela here on the blog with a new spread of my Life Crafted album featuring the May 2020 Journeys Life Crafted kit. 

For my layout, I went for a page of embellishments and stamped phrases on a white strip of cardstock. The strip measures 4,25 x 8,25 inches and I adhered it on a beautiful green paper and white flowers from the kit. The base green paper is slightly wider than the white one, it's about 5,25 inches so it peeks from the sides.

I arranged stamps and embellishments in line, starting from the mint leather puffy sticker. Then, I started stamping a mix of words in different colors, to create the phrase Vacation Seeking, Relax Needing. The words Vacation, Relax and the little scalloped line are from May 2020 Traveler's Nootebook, while I made the Seeking and Needing using 4" x 6" Solid $ Outline Alphabet & Number stamp set.

After what I can call the title of my pages, the second part of the page is more a line of embellishments. I placed a sticker, a chipboard and a die-cut piece.

I stamped in color, following the color scheme of this little piece shown in the picture below. It is a journaling card from the kit I cut in a square of 2x2 inches. The phrase is slightly cut out but still readable. 

The second page is a  2x2 pocket page, you can find this page protector here on the CTK shop, with a sequence of pictures. The funny faces are of my hubby who, I admit, isn't so happy to be published ;P

That's all for today, friends. I hope you liked the spread and feel inspired to create with the amazing Citrus Twist Kits kits. Happy crafting!

KIT LOVE - May 2020

Hello everyone!
We are so happy to have you here as we reveal our May 2020 kits.   It seems the year has been defined as pre-covid, and what we all call, "our new normal".   I think most of us are practicing social distancing and staying home;  if you are an essential worker, then we are forever thankful for all you do to keep us alive and thriving.   However, this unprecedented times have made us realized, more than ever, the need we have to document and tell stories.

We are so excited to share with you all our new  Life Crafted kit:  JOURNEYS.    Though we are still not able to travel, we are still reminiscing of past adventures and dreaming of all the places we want to visit -once we are able to do so-.   This month's kits are always a great companion when documenting every day adventures, but the soft palette and designs will have you reaching for all those travel memories.  Let's join Trina as she shares an unboxing of the  Life Crafted kit:





We are so excited to share what our DT has been creating with the kit and to see what you will create with it, too.  Of course we have not forgotten about all the large format documenters, who are always looking for a larger format for your memory keeping.   We have curated a Scrapbook Add-on kit that coordinates and complements our Life Crafted kit.

A rainbow of possibilities is the best way to describe this kit.  Let's join Nathalie as she share with  us the contents of the add on kit:





Oh the stories you are going to tell with these beautiful kits!  we cannot wait to see all your beautiful pages.  Remember to share with us all that you create.

In addition, as we start the month of May, we are also celebrating interNational Scrapbook Day with  a day filled with challenges, inspiration and prizes in our Citrus Twist Friends Fans page on Facebook.  Our CT has prepared a series of challenges that will keep you documenting your memories.  We are looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday!

'til next time, keep safe and healthy!
