Sunday Sketch With Leigh

Hello Friends! Leigh, here, with a belated post for this past Sunday, the 17th. Sorry, friends!

A coffee house graphic inspired this page. and I punched several of the patterned papers from the kit with small scale punches.

September 17th Sunday Sketch.

Since I chose a complementary (colors opposite each other on the color wheel) color scheme, I used a lot of neutral black and white on the layout. I love the Citrus Twist Kits sketches, and they make designing a page effortless.

 The close up shows how I layered the punched pieces and the green patterned paper (the B side of the Maggie Holmes Carousel "Sweets" paper) from the kit was used for the leafy bits.

 Followed the sketch pretty closely and added the typed journaling strips under the Pinkfresh Studio Die Cut.

The photo layers were created with a label from the cut apart sheet, leafy punched bits again, and the red-orange paper from Pinkfresh Studio "Escape the Ordinary" collection.

Thank you for visiting today!

Hugs, 

Leigh

Sunday Sketch With Anna Uhras

Hello Friends, Anna here today! Happy Sunday everyone , and it's a very happy one for me since it's my very first blog post here as a Dt-member at Citrus Twist, YAY!
It's such an honor and I'm so happy, a dream have come true! Thank you Trina for having me!
I'm here today with another Sunday sketch for you.

I've used mostly the Main Kit other than a tiny little lovely text sticker from the awesome Embellishment Kit.

This is an awesome sketch to work with, acctually it spoke to me the very first time I saw it, lol!
My take is pretty close to the original design, I just turned it upside down.

Also I've used this months Free Cut File for my film strip. You can find it posted on the Facebook Citrus Twist Kits Fan Page.

Here we go..

Love the touches of green here, my no1 favorite color!

It's a page about when our youngest daughter turned six years old, can't believe it, I mean SIX years old already... time flies.

Love this green camera!

And you can see my sewing maschine have been working, always does.

I think almost every single project from me have some stiches on, lol!

Here you see the "Press On" sticker from the Embellishment Kit, they all are awesome!

Also you can spy another of my signture things, some cotton thread, I love it :)

Aahh! can you see those lovely golden glittery alphas? Aren't they gorgeous?!

This was my take on this super inspiring sketch, can't wait to see yours! To play along with this weeks Sunday Sketch Challenge and be eligible to win a $5 gift certificate to the CTK Store, create a layout based off this sketch and post it in our gallery with today's date (9/10) in the title.

Sunday Sketch with Elsie

Hey CTK fans, it's Sunday Sketch time again! I have a 12x12 layout to share with you all today inspired by this weeks awesome sketch. I'm using the new and seriously delightful 'Photobooth' Main & Add-On kits.

I was immediately drawn to the Maggie Holmes Carousel 'Magical' paper in the Add-On kit. I thought it could make a really interesting background for a page, but I wasn't sure how best I could use it.

Once I saw the sketch I knew I had to try and make the paper work because there are embellishment clusters in the bottom right of the sketch, and the Carousel roof design on the paper is also in the same corner.

I love my white space, so using a patterned paper background is a really daunting task for me, so I'm happy I stepped out of my comfort zone!

I decided to add a frame around the entire paper, and I loved how it looked. It contained the paper's design and helped make it make a little more sense in my head!

I added a lot of the embellishments to the bottom of the page. I used three of these adorable ticket and food stands from both the Carousel ephemera pack and chipboard, and clustered them on top of the frame.

This gives the layout some more perspective as it looks like the stands are in the "foreground", the frame is the "middle ground" and the patterned paper is the "background". It's obviously not "to scale", but this idea helps all of these larger pieces work together and make sense when you're looking at the page.

I placed my photo in the same position as in the sketch. It looked a bit random without any embellishments around it, so I fussy-cut some kites from the Carousel collection 'Summertime' paper.

I jazzed up these kites by stitching around them with some thread of the same colour... I can never stray too far away from a needle and thread!

And how cute are the CTK exclusive puffy stickers in the Main kit? Those birds are so adorable, I couldn't resist having them perch on top of the ice cream stand!

And now it's your turn! To play along with this week's challenge, create a layout inspired by the sketch, upload it to the Citrus Twist Kits Gallery with the sketch date (8/06) in the title, and you might win a $5 gift certificate to the CTK store - yay!

I can't wait to see your creations!
