Sunday Sketch with Lory

 

Happy Sunday everyone!

How are you? The last days of September to dive in the super autunnale month of October and I can't wait to participate in one of the beautiful crafts iniziative to tell the October Stories using one of the beautiful Citrus Twist albums and the amazing october products! Stay tunnel!

Ok let's go! I'm going to show you the page I have created for this Sunday Sketch, so clean, so dreamy so airy sketch! In love with it and as always I have done some little changes ;P

This is the Sketch.

And this is my page :)

As you can see I have a little changed position of the center block of the sketch on the left side of the page. I have mixed a lot of previous Citrus Twist kits leftovers creating a lovely background for the picture I chose, to have more contrast I decided to print the picture in black and white. 

Love the result, the contrast of the picture with the bright colors of the papers.

Before to place my picture bloc I used some colors and a stencil to create a very soft watercolor background, I choose the yellow for this.

Some drops of black ink here and there and some drops o white acrylic ink. Love the effect they give!

Once I did the basic I started decorative my page so following the sketch, using the tag "loving" , the flower, the word " wonder", many beautiful phrase stamps from the gorgeous Citrus Twist stamps, and a puffy sticker from the September embellishments!

Here some close ups of my page:)

Hope you like the page and I can't wait to see what you will do with it :)

The main rule is : Have fun!

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

Love, Lory

3-to-Inspire with Nathalie DeSousa

 

Hi there,

Nathalie with you today this week's 3-to-Inspire challenge.  Every week, we  issue a challenge based on 3 prompts in hopes they inspired a project of your own.   These are this week's prompts:

1. Use numbers to tell your story
2. Limit your color palette
3. Create a grid design

Here is what I have created using the prompts and products from the September release.

I started by printing two of the same 6x8 Digital Ledger paper for the background of my page.  I chose this color as it contrast nicely with the yellow alphabet sticker that is  included in the Add on kit.

I printed my three photos in black and white to the same size -this will help to build the grid design on the page-.  I mentally drew a grid in the center of the layout, and  glued the photos to sit inside of the grid.

I pulled the new Luna Numbers 6x8 Stamp set, to stamp the outline of the numbers next to each photo.  Here, I used the puffy mini stickers from the add on kit to help me tell the story of an elevator malfunction,

I chose to create a pocket -from vellum- to house my journal lines.   I used the Luna Alpha Numbers stamp set to add the title for the page to the front of the pocket.   

I added  my lines of journal to a tag, and slid this in place!   To finish the page, I simply added a few of the new enamel dots around each of the numbers on the page.

I love how this turned out, and now it is your turn to use the three prompts to create a project of your own.  Remember to share with us your finished projects.  We would love to see what you created!

3-to-Inspire with Nathalie

 

Hello there!

Nathalie with you today with  this week's 3-to Inspire challenge.  Finally the weather is slowly changing here, that means that we are able to enjoy the outdoors a bit more.   So, today, I am using this week's three prompts and a mix of our complete September release to create my project.   Here are this week's prompts:

1. Go bold/large with your photos
2. Use a digital file
3. Create an insert

Here is what I have created:

I had fun with all the gorgeous September kits, exclusives and digital files, and created a compound spread.

I used two large photos (5"x8") for the background of my page.   All I had to do is perforate the holes for the binding and added the simple script words, from the September ephemera, and some of the new enamel dots.

For my insert, I  pulled a piece of the specialty acetate paper from the Add-on kit (Paige Evans) and cut it to 4"x7".  I layered one of the August journal cards, with some of the September ephemera with the photo.   The small tag and paper clip are from my stash but just bring texture to the page.

 I added a few more pieces of ephemera from the Add on kit to add a bit of interest to the back of the acetate piece. Then added the foam adhesive sentiment with it.

I did not want to hide the details of the photos. So, I created a small pocket behind the second large photo.   The new 6"x8" digital ledger papers are a great way to add lots of journaling in one place.   I simply added my story on the laptop, and print it all together.  I fussy cut the small element from the digital element cut apart to the top of the ledger and slid it in the pocket.

I love how this spread turned out.  The September release is gorgeous and filled with beautiful products that will help you document your days.   Remember to share any project you create for this week's challenge with us
