Kit Love with Kira

Hey everyone!  And welcome to my very first blog post as a member of the Citrus Twist design team!  I'm so excited!  Are you excited?!

You should be!  I have a kit unboxing to share with you today, plus a layout I created using bits and pieces from a few of the kits. 

You can watch the video below to catch a glimpse of all the deliciousness included in the "Twin Falls" scrapbooking kit, the embellishment kit and the "Twin Falls" pocket life kit.  

Here's a quick layout I created using all three kits.

I started with a some machine stitching around the border. 

Added a few strips of the "Starbright" paper to ground my photo.

And finished off the layout by adding three clusters in a diagonal design.

Thanks for visiting!  I can't wait to see what you create with this month's gorgeous kits! 

xo, Kira

Just Plain Fun

Hello there, everyone. Elizabeth Gardner here! Today I wanted to pop in and share three of the pages I made using the April Scrapbooking and Embellishment kits. I had so much fun scrapping with these last month. Just plain old, good old fashioned fun. Gotta love that!

This first one was made using only the Main kit..

The moment I laid eyes on these squared pieces of goodness I knew I wanted to do something with them gathered grid-style. Grids are such an awesome design element to use for scrapping. 

Squares abound in these kits and I can't get enough. This time I turned the grid on it's side to see what it would look like...

I have fun trying to include something out of the box on my pages. For this one it was diamond positioning, watercolor highlights, and empty frames..

Below is just a fun note-to-self page. Because, seriously, we could all be a little nicer to ourselves once in a while. Amiright?

So that's what I have for you today. I'll be back on Sunday to share my take on one of this months fabulous sketches. Until then, happy scrapping!

A View from Our Gallery: Tina Feng (U.S.)

This week we picked Tina Feng's layout for a View from Our Gallery. Tina is a regular Gallery contributor and this scrapbook page caught our eye.

Tina used the June "Beautiful Life" Main kit for her layout and pulled some items from her stash and past kits. The result is  a delightful mix of paper, photos and embellishments. We love how she used the kraft bag from her kit as a backdrop for her photo collage.

Thanks Tina!
