Life Crafted Inspiration with Lory

 

Hello everyone! How are you?

It's Lory here and today I am exited to share a new 6x8 Life Crafted spread to tell my Summer stories. I am on vacation but this doesn't stop me to create some pages where as soon as I'll be back home I'll add my pictures. I have them on my phone and camera so when I create I have on my mind  the photo I am referring to. My album is the 6x8 Sunshine album.

Here it is. A full 6x8 page and some journaling cards on the right. The circle indicates a picture I'll add.

For the full page I mixed leaves, flowers and ephemera from the beautiful Sunshine August Kit.

Behind the composition I used flowers stamps in black and coral inks. The effect is so soft and beautiful don't you think? With just few elements you can create great compositions to make the background for your photo and story.

Here some close ups.

You don't need to insert all you have in your stuff, you just need to find the right place for everything you want to use :) It's so funny and easy to play with the gorgeous kits fromCitrus Twist.

Of course I couldn't not to use my favorite stamps from their collection.

Hope you like it and it inspires you to keep your memories in a lovely creative way.

Love, Lory

Hey there guys! Happy Monday! Here in Italy the week starts with Monday and when I have a creative monda my week starts in a very good way!

Today I am happy to share with you the beginning of my July album and I feel so excited to tell my stories ... I don't know why but when I tell my everyday stories filling my albums and reading them back I feel so so so happy.

I have a lot of fun playing with digitals, editing my photos, thinking about the composition and how I want to insert just that kind of embellishment or card. It makes me feel relaxed and happy.

For this spread Life Crafted spread I have chosen two of the THE BEST PARTS TRAVELER'S NOTEBOOK BASICS DIGITAL PAPERS - SEPTEMBER 2020.  I had an idea about the TN page with flowers, I cut on three sides the white window inserting behind the wood paper from the September The best part Life Crafted kit and a phrase from the 

PRINTABLE - THE BEST PARTS CUTAPART ELEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 2020. I cut the phrase in more little words and then sticked all pieces at the paper just adding a little heart.

Take a look at the following pictures.

To open the window I created just a little label sewed to it.  

On the right I have just written my story on the digital file and I have added some subtitles with different kinds of Citrus Twist stamps,  and a little more journaling adding some ephemera and a tag. I played a lot with stamps. I have used the 

SEPTEMBER 2020 LIFE CRAFTED TRAVELERS NOTEBOOK STAMP , 

4" X 6" ALL THE FEELS STAMP , 

MAY 2020 LIFE CRAFTED TRAVELERS NOTEBOOK STAMP, SINGLE

I am completely and deeply in love with tiny details! I can't consider a story completely told without the use of my stamps :)

The second spread is about a big 4x8 inches photo and some 3x4 photo and card. Love this combination. Here I have used a mix of different old kits and the September kit. Also here I had fun adding details here and there :) Hope you like these ideas and will be inspired to create yours telling your stories. 

Did you join our waiting list? These kits are gorgeous! I love them to pieces!

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!
