3 to Inspire with Alena

Hello friends! I am so excited and thrilled to be joining the CTK DT!! I hope you will enjoy seeing my projects every month! Today I am bringing to you my  3 To Inspire challenge!
This week's 3 to Inspire prompts are:

1. Include hand-cut items on your layout/spread.
2. Use the Puffy Alphabet.
3. Stitch (machine, hand).

I have used the July "Skyland" Pocket Life and July "Skyland"Scrapbook kits + July 2018 Travelers Notebook "Not My Best Moment" Stamp.

I like all the kits this month - perfect for summer photos. This spread is  pretty simple, but it's all about bright accents.

The main elements are hand-cut flowers from patterned paper, which were sewn to the card. I added words of Puffy Alphabet to make my spread look harmonious. And also added a few phrases, using a stamp.

 Use the three (3) prompts to create your own project and share it with us on our Facebook Fanpage! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a great day!

Pocket life sketch friday with Diane

Diane here with another Pocket Life Sketch Friday for you. Don't forget that we have a giveaway associated with the sketches at the end of this post.

I used the Citrus Twist Kits February Pocket Life kit for this week and it has plenty of sunshiny yellow goodness in it! I'm rather fond of my hand stitched title card, I find the stitching quite therapeutic and it doesn't really take that long for such a lovely end result.

Here is the process video of how this layout came together...

Keeping it simple, getting it done.

As we start 2016, I am still busy trying to get my 2015 album finished and I bet I'm not alone! (I'm not alone, right?) I think one of the best ways to get it done is to keep it simple. And using the coordinating kits from Citrus Twist Kits is a great way to do that.

This spread came together really quickly using minimal stamping, embellishing and cards. The page is kept cohesively using pops of pink throughout. Pink sequins, pink tiny stickers and pink patterns. I haven't added any journalling but it would be a simple addition if needed.
