3-to-inspire with Diane

Hi everyone, Diane here with another 3-to-inspire challenge for you! You can find this challenge here every Saturday for those who need a little extra creative push to get scrapbooking, to keep scrapbooking or for those who just like a challenge! Your take on this challenge can be a layout, Traveler's Notebook page or a pocket page spread in your Life Crafted and remember that you'll want to include all 3 prompts on your project.

Your prompts this week are:

1. Use as many die cuts as possible
2. Include some hidden journalling
3. Put some puffy stickers on it!

Here’s my take on this challenge using the February "Possibilities" Life Crafted kit ...

I decided for this challenge I would create a page in my reading-themed Traveler's Notebook. I was inspired by the "chill" die cut because I had spent so much time forcing myself to take breaks and relax while reading this book. First I created my base for my hidden journalling by taking a tag from my stash and typing my journalling onto it, making sure it would be hidden by my photo. Then I used some washi tape to create a flap and viola, hidden journalling!

Then I started placing my die cut on my page, making sure that I started with the larger ones first and then filling in any gaps with smaller pieces. I was trying to create a diagonal from the bottom left to the top right so that my page still had some white space to stop it becoming too busy.

Once I felt happy with the general layout, I started sticking things down, rearranging as necessary. I filled in any little gaps with puffy stickers and stamps until my page was covered.

Here's a look at the process this spread took ...

Thanks for stopping by today and I'd love to see any page you create using this challenge so don't forget to tag me and share in the Citrus Twist Facebook Fan page!
