Mixed PL spread: layout and some pockets

Hello!
Mira here and today I will be sharing PL spread where I combined regular 12x12 layout with a pocket page. Take a look:

When I became a Pocket Scrapbooking lover I stopped creating regular 12x12 layouts and I really don't have an excuse for that! I thought it would be nice to have layouts and pockets side-by-side in my album so I decided to go for it!

All about my daughter Ola and her worm-toys...

I wanted this LO to be the most important part of my spread, so I changed the size of 12x12 pocket page protector into 8x12, filled it with pictures and only a few embellishments. Added a little note with the whole story, and this was it!

I used: July PL and "Instalove" Embellishment Kit with beautiful "Moment" stamp from Citrus Twist Kits "Sunshine Adventure" stamp set designed by Jessy.

Hope You enjoyed my inspiration!
Guys... Don't forget to add regular layouts to Your PL albums!

Have a great day!

Pocket Life Sketch Friday

Hi everyone, it's Tara here back for another Pocket Life Friday. This month I was blown by all the fantastic goodies that were in the PL kits this month! I honestly keep telling myself each month the current kit is even better than the last one!

Don't forget to read for details on our weekly giveaway associated with today's sketches at the end of the post.

 

Here is the first layout I created using a 6x8 format. I really love this size so much - it's my happy medium when wanting to do one full page to capture memories. We had a lot of fun as a family preparing the boys for their putt-off competition with their golf coach.

 

Here is a closer look. I love the Poolside embellishments from the "Instalove" Embellishment kit and found some coordinating enamel dots I made in my stash. Plus the denim stickers are the perfect touch! I also used the Snarkfully Yours stamp  for my caption below the photo. It was perfect for this occasion.

The coordinating sketch for my layout:

I finally had a chance to try out my WRMK Fuse tool and make my own little embellishment pocket. I used some sequins from my stash and a few little bits and bobs from the Main and Sprinkles kit. I also used one of my heart dies to cut out a teeny heart from the 6x6 patterned paper included in this kit. The stamps by fellow Design Team girl, Jessy are just so amazing. I had to add them in on my layout. I loved the pattern paper in the Main kit and it went well with the mint stickers too.

Here is a closer look at the stamps. Stamps are a great way to add a little more to any project. The best part of stamping is the countless creations you can make with them by adding certain words from different stamp sets.

Finally, the last sketch for today.

For your chance to win some happy mail, create a layout based on the sketches in this blog post, post your layout to our Gallery or our Facebook Fan Page by Friday, July 24th and label it PL 7/17!

 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have some crafty time for yourself this weekend!

Have a lovely day.

Beach Adventure Mini Album by Jessy

Hello there!! Jessy here to share with you a mini album I created with the July Scrapbook Main kit + Sprinkles kit + my stamps that I created for Citrus Twist Kits too.

This 5"x7" mini album is pretty easy to put together. Firstly I cut 11 pieces of white cardstock into 5"x7" as the album base. Then, I cut the patterned papers slightly smaller than the base & pasted them on. Once I've decided with all the position of my papers & photos in the respective pages, I begun to work with the composition of each page. I kept each page almost the same look so they look cohesive.  I played around with the embellishments like stickers, stamps, brads & acrylic pieces that you can find in the kits. Finally, bind the pages together with a ring.

Hope you like the album and do share with us if you have created a mini album with your Citrus Twist kits. We would love to see :)

Happy Crafting!
Xoxo Jessy

July Kit Love with Tara

Hello! It's Tara here sharing my favorites for July. Our "Good Times" Pocket Life kit has a wide variety of goodies and I have truly loved working with Crate Paper's Poolside line...I can't get enough of it!!! I also used the Embellishment Kit, "Instalove". This kit worked so well with my PL kit and I still have more left over. Our PL kit was such a hit that we have already have sold out but you can check out the full contents in our shop.


Can I just say these denim stickers are just scrumptious? Such a neutral to work with but loads of style with ease.

Instead of focusing on the things I loved most, I wanted to share a different "kit love" view - layout love. Here are my layouts I have made so far. I must say I truly have enjoyed working with this month's kit and it is by far my favorite for the year.

I love, love, love the mint stickers that were a CTK collaboration with PinkFresh Studio. I can't wait for more colors to come in the future!

All the lovely embellies came from the "Instalove" kit or my PL kit, plus a few from the July Main kit and some from my stash.

Another view of the little layout love stack.

What I love most is this kit is so versatile. The bright colors are muted with some neutrals. Plus there are some fun and funky touches that fit so many styles. Yes - I even used the brown bag that comes in our kits, recycled as my layout page. So many possibilities!!

I was able to create seven layouts and two fun cards!!! I wanted to go with an easier approach for PL to allow more freedom. I document life in a monthly format and just go with the flow on which dates I want to work with.

I would call this a "partial" killing of the kit, as I still have a lot more fun stuff to work with! I will add the rest of my layouts in the gallery when I'm finished.

I hope you enjoyed today's layout love! Please share your favorite tidbits and creations with us here and in the gallery.

Thanks for stopping by!

Xxo, Tara
