Sunday Sketch With Evelyn Pratiwi Yusuf

Happy Sunday, everyone! Evelyn Pratiwi Yusuf here with this week's Sunday Sketch and layout to share, using March 2014 Main Kit; Fireflies and Happy Little Moments Embellishment Kit

Let's start off with Kasia's sketch...

and my layout based on it

I made just a few modifications to make the sketch work with my theme, I start to change the position of the tittle, I paste the thicker up side down

I use 2R photos not square just like the sketch and put some embellishments in bottom of the photos and also put some journal stickers.

In the bottom of the layout I did some layering to the stripes using black banner washi tape, paper and pink plastic ruler which you can find it in the main kit.

To play along with our sketch challenge, upload your layouts to the gallery by April. 5th to get your name in a drawing to win a $5 GC to the store. When uploading to the gallery you can name it as you would normally but please include "Sketch 3/30".

Simple Strategies with Tanya

Hello! It's Tanya here and I want to share a layout made with March main "Fireflies" kit - amazingly bright and colourful kit. And it has so many cute embellishments. Love those wood frames and big butterflies!

Today's post is all about simple strategies. And I want to show how you can use both sides of the double-sided paper at once. At first make little cuts on paper and than  curl the edges with your fingers. I love how yellow colour pops up on edges!

And here are some close-ups. The word "click" I've made using Studio Calico Mistabels letters.

I've sprayed it with light green ink.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoy playing with the March Kit!  

Sunday Sketch with Nina

Happy Sunday, everyone! Nina here with this week's Sunday Sketch and my layout based on this one.

But let´s start with Kasia´s beautiful sketch....

It´s a beautiful one, isn´t it? It was the prefect reason to use (after a long time) the great Studio Calico sunburst mask in combination with the Heidi Swapp Color Shine Spray "Coral" to create this kind of background.  

To play along with our sketch challenge, upload your layouts to the gallery by April. 7th to get your name in a drawing to win a $5 GC to the store. When uploading to the gallery you can name it as you would normally but please include "Sketch 23/3".

Our day layout with Amélie

Hi there!! Here is Amélie and today I am going to share with you my new layout made with March Main kit and Embellie kits. To make this layout, I essentially used three colors blue, yellow and wood. I really love this colors association. It gives to my layout something natural and lightly.
On this day, sun is shining, it was a good day for playing outside! After lot of rain, it was marvelous!

Some close ups:

I hope you will enjoy it!
Have a good day and see you soon with April kits!
Bye

"Be Inspired" with Nina

Hello and welcome to a new "be inspired" post at Thursday on the Citrus Twist blog. Today I would like to show you a teenage boy layout inspired by those cute exclusive Citrus Twist wood veneer frames. I´m always in LOVE with little chipboard or paper frames but the wooden ones from the March Scrapbook Kit are my absolute favorite. 

It´s so easy to give the page a touch of something special and I think it´s one of the embellishments you can use also great for boys pages.

Simple Strategies with Kasia

Hello and happy Monday! It's Kasia here with a layout created with March main "Fireflies" kit- I loved every single item in the kit and felt seriously inspired when I opened my box! I miss the sunshine and warm weather so all the juicy, warm colors made me really happy- and for today's layout I decided to pull out the shades of yellow from my page and highlight them with some acrylic paint!

Here are some close ups for you- I love layering papers around the photo, it makes it pop the picture so nicely! Also adding a little bit of media makes a page unique and personalized!

And when it comes to today's Simple Strategy- I want to share with you my little cheat way to add oh-so-trendy brush script to my layout. I'm really happy I've found this way because it's a little bit easier to add small writing with a pen than with a brush. Have a look! 

I'm using a felt tip pen which I got in the local stationery shop. It has 2 ends- one regular and one which looks like felt brush. I start with a regular tip and write the word with my own handwriting (step 1), than I move on to brush tip and follow the previous line (step 2). And than- practice, practice, practice (step 3:). I'm sure you will find the way to do it which works best for you- try different angle of holding the pen, different paper and different fonts. It's lots of fun to play this way! 

TUESDAY TUTORIAL WITH Eve

Hi there!! Here is Eve and today I am going to share with you how to make this layout:

I used white cardstock as background. I added some colors to my background with my Mister Huey and water, and stamped with stazon and the beautiful stamps of the kit.
Finally, add the your title and the other embellishment :

Then I added some papers, making tape and two stickers :

After that, just put your pictures 

 

Have a good day!

Inspired by stars - Jen Chapin

Hi there! Today I'm sharing a starry layout with you using the March main scrapbook and pocket life kits. I was inspired by the "I love you more than the stars" PL card and built my layout around it. There are some really cute star wood veneers and accents in the main kit that go great with this theme!


I also used these fab mistable Thickers in the main kit with some mist from my stash. Just mist away and wipe off the excess. Super fun and easy.


I love how the wood veneer compliments the card perfectly.

And here is a super cute and fun flair from the main kit.

We would love to see what you've been doing with our kits! Don't forget to share them in our gallery . Thanks so much for stopping by today!

"Just Cruisin'" is March's Pocket Life kit. We are loving the Dear Lizzy Daydreamer paper pad, the DIY Shop cork arrow stickers and those wonderful kraft alphabet stickers from Elle's Studio.

We've gone almost tropical this month with our "This is My Happy" Kit Add-on. 

March's stamp subscription or add-on is "This Moment." You can fill in the message "overflowing with . . . " by substituting out the different choices.

You'll have lots of "Happy Little Moments" with our action-packed embellishment kit. This kit almost sold out during our subscriber presale.

"Nothing But Happy" is a delightful blend of fun colors, alphabet stickers and embellishments. This Embellishment kit is now sold out. 

We couldn't resist this blend of happy colors in our "Be Mine" Pattern paper kit. "Be Mine" is sold out as well.

Every month we bring your our Solid Paper kit. The Solid Paper kit serves to double your cardstock from your Main kit and blends with our Pocket Life kits, too. If you have leftover 6 x 6 paper from your Pocket Life kit, picking up a Pattern Paper and Solid Paper kit leaves you with lots of scrapbook page possibilities!

For those of you who like viewing our kits reveal via YouTube, Design Girl Melissa Stinson has made a movie for you. Here is the link. Enjoy!

Tuesday tutorial with Amélie - Guessing game #4!

Hi there!! Here is Amélie and today I am going to share with you how to make this layout:

This month, kits are very colorful!! It smells like spring!
So I decided to play with colors to create this page. I used white cardstock as background.
Then, I chose to work with Studio Calico LemonLush - Right Brained paper.
I cut some stripes of papers to create my own frame.

I added some colors to my background with my gelatos and colorpens. To do this, I put some colors on a plastic package from kit, added some water and mixed with my finger.

More you added water, more colors will be soft. Stamped several times on your background.
Here is the result on my paper:

Here are the stripes I decided to use on my layout to create my frame.

I added some corners.

After that, just put your pictures and embellishments.
This month, the alpha in Main kit is very interesting! Because you can work on it with colors sprays or others.
As I am concerned, I chose a purple neon stain and a pink gelatos from my stash.

After having inked alpha, you just need to clean it with absorbent paper. I hope this layout and this process will inspire you!

***************

Here is another layout made with March Main and Embellie kits. I am totally in love with this one and all the litlle hearts. I love using hearts and pink to document my boys's pictures!

Some sneaks:

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment with your guess of what's in this month's kits based on what you see in my layout and you'll be entered to win a $5 GC to the CTK shop!

Have a good day!
Amélie
