Sunday sketch with Alena

 Hey everyone!  It's Alena with  layout for Sunday Sketch.

Here's a look at the sketch this week:

I created the layout using the new inspirational TRAVELOGUE 23 LIFE-CRAFTED KIT. 

The basis of the layout is a white cardstock, on which I added fragments of patterned paper. 

I replaced the vertical that is on the sketch with round elements. I also added pieces of Ephemera that perfectly match my pink down jacket in the photo.

Well, then it is time for you be inspired by the sketch to create a page of your own.  Remember to share your creations with us on the Citrus Twist Kits Friends page on Facebook or by using #CTK, @Citrustwistkits on social media.  I cannot wait to see what you create with this sketch.

                 

Sunday Sketch with Anna

Hi dear CTK friends! Anna here with you today to share this weeks Sunday Sketch. This is my favorite challenge. I love to kick start my layouts using a sketch, makes everything so much easier.

Well, let's have a look at our super inspiring sketch.

I've sticked pretty close to the sketch for my design. All the papers and other goodies are from the May Life Crafted Excursion Kit. Also I've used a circle sentiment stamp from the Life Crafted This Is Life - Free Spirit set.

Ok, let's have a look at what I came up with.

Who can resist a polka dot paper and especially a pink one?! At least I can't, lol! I imidiately fell in love with this gorgeous design.

Also I have a big crush on these absolutely amazing mint-aqua puffy alphas, gorgeous right!?

So much to love in this months kit (I know I say the same every month but that's the truth! Trina is the best kit maker EVER) beautiful puffy stickers and ditto die cut pieces. I'm in scrapbook heaven!

This mountain/landscape puffy sticker has a special place in my scrappy heart, I can't even! Also it worked just perfect for my page this time ( I may have choosen a photo that fitted this puffy sticker..lol)

Of course theres some tabs and labels in the ephemera/die cut pack. You never can get too many of these, that's for sure.

And there you have it! Now it's your turn and don't forget to share with us on CTK Fan Page and /or Instagram @citrustwistkits #citrustwistkits. We can't wait to see what magic you'll create.
Be sure to head over to the CTK shop and grab some goodies or maybe sign up for a subscription, you'll absolutely love it!

Until next time! Anna xo

Sunday Sketch with Aimee

Happy Sunday Scrapers. Ready to get down and crafty? Well, then let me show you your sketch.

If you been with us a long time you'll know I have a bit of love/hate relationship with Sketch Challenges. Honestly, I will never voluntarily offer to do one, but at the same time some of my greatest pages here at Citrus Twist have come from taking on the challenge. This year I'm trying to turn over a new leaf. I've decided not to get to bogged down in rules and use a sketch the way it was meant to be used - as jumping off point and an inspiration. Not a concrete map. So without further ado. Here is my page that only vaguely looks like the sketch :)

I used this months Main Scrapbook page and Sprinkles kit to create the page. I did use a small strip of washi and a stamped flower I had lying on my desk to finish the page off but that's mostly because I hate having to put little bits away. Here are a few close ups so you can see the details.

Now it's your turn. To play along with this week's sketch challenge, create a layout inspired by the sketch, upload it to the CTK Gallery with today's date (1/29) in the title, and you will be eligible to win a $5 gift certificate to the CTK Store!

Until next time,

Aimee Xx
