3-to-INSPIRE with Nathalie

 



Hello there!

Nathalie with you today with this week's 3-to-Inspire challenge.  And this week's prompts are sure to get you ready to create your own projects.  Here are this week's prompts:

  1. Use Multiple Photos
  2. Add some circles
  3. Get creative with your title
Here is what I created using these prompts and the beautiful ROUTINES Digital Collection.


I went for  clean and simple for this spread using a few of the ROUTINES cut apart digital elements, digital patterned paper, and digital journaling ephemera.




I created a film strip using three pictures from one of my live sessions ( and coffee is always a must!).  I wanted them to remain attached so that I could easily attach them to the title in a clean way.





I used a brad to connect each picture to the center of the page with string.   I used circles from the cut apart elements sheet to add interest to each of the photos.





I used more of the circle elements from the digital ephemera and cut apart elements to continue the circle motif of the page on the journal part of the spread.



 I am using pieces from the Routines Digital Ephemera and Digital Journaling ephemera to create my title.   First, I am using two different sizes of the laptop icon.  The first lays flat on the page, and the strings were attached to the center of the laptop.  Then, I used the smaller laptop to cover the strings; here I added one of the title phrases and a few more circles.   Then to finish the look of the title, I stamped a few extra sentiments using the CHERISH Stamp set.





I added a few enamel dots to continue the circle look of the page, and done!   I love how this turned out! This layout came together in a flash, and I love the simplicity of the page.  Remember to check the new ROUTINES Digital Collection, you are going to love all that you can create with it!1

SUNDAY SKETCH WITH KATARINA


 

Hey CTK friends,



Katarina back with you with this week's Sunday Sketch and my inspiration for you. Let's see the sketch first.




And here's my take. I created an out of pocket layout in my 6x8 Life Crafted Layout featuring the beautiful July Going Places digital release. 





I used stripes of torn patterned printable paper on the top and bottom of the layout. 

Inspired by the sketch I layered three papers behind my photo. I used the beautiful sun ray digital patterned paper and a piece of matching teal cardstock as well as a contrasting grey patterned paper from the Going Places collection. Under the photo I used a combination of CTK exclusive stamps.





I used one of the digital journaling cards to fussy cut my title. I love how the colors play together, tone on tone. I again combined it with a tiny stamp to add a little detail. Then I added my handwritten journaling.





I wanted to keep the layout simple, so for my finishing touches I only added a bunch of puffy stickers, a die cut circle from the Going Places Digital Elements and stitching for some added interest.





I hope you find the sketch and my take on it inspiring and that you try creating your own version using the beautiful Citrus Twist products. Thank you for stopping by and see you next time!

3-TO-INSPIRE WITH MARINA

Hi, crafty friends!

It's Marina with you today with a new 3-to-Inspire challenge. 
I end July with a simply spread and our cool digital summer collection GOIG PLACES and here are three things that inspired me to create this beauty:

1. Stamps to create a composite title
2. Vellum and thread/ribbon for lightness
3. Dots for bright accents

So, here we are! :)
To create the title, I used our amazing stamps set True Life V2 and I just adore it, because it's just countless options! (By the way, you can also find the ink that I used in the СTK shop: it's a Detail Black and Indian Summer by Pinkfresh Studio and these lovely flowers I cut out from a digital card!)

I really like how a little piece of vellum immediately makes the page more light and airy, and the threads add a little mess to the rectangular photos :)

Adorable dots unite the top and bottom of the page:



A slight pink accent from our Going Places Digital Elements on the side photos brings them together with the page:
Ta-daaa! How do you like it? :)

I love our CTK digitals and use them very often when creating my pages, and you can find them right HERE in our shop! :)
We always look forward to seeing what you create with our 3-to-Inspire prompts, so be sure to tag Citrus Twist Kits in your posts!

Thank you all for your attention and have a great week!
XO

Sunday Sketch with Marsha



Hey, CTK friends! It's Marsha here today, and I'm sharing a layout for Sunday Sketch. I love creating with sketches and was excited to use this one as a jumping-off point for my project!

Here's a look at the sketch:




This sketch is in an 8.5x11 format, but converting it to a Life Crafted album spread was easy by separating the design down the middle of the page.

Here's my layout:


This month's Going Places Digitals were perfect for this spread, documenting a recent photo. I began by printing digital papers from the Going Places Kit and the Travelogue 23 digitals to use for the page. Next, I fussy cut frames from the digital paper. I rotated the sketch, added my photo to the right side of the layout, and did a bit of layering with the frames and die-cuts from the Summertime Florals ephemera. The Yellow to Pink Fade Alphabet Puffy Stickers worked well for the title.


I followed the sketch and layered the frames in a diagonal across the spread. A die-cut floral from the Summertime Florals ephemera was perfect for adding interest behind the frames. 


To complete the page, I added some stamping with the Travelite Stamp and added my journaling to one of the frames.


I hope you are inspired to create a layout based on this week's sketch! Happy creating!

xo,

3 to Inspire with Lory

 


Hello friends! How are you?

Today I am happy to share with you a new recipe to create easily. It's so fun and easy to work with Citrus twist products and stamps. It's a travel notebook spread. 


My recipe for you:

  1. Use pattern papers from Citrus Twist
  2. Then add stickers of any kind you love
  3. In the end finish your pages with some stamps
I have inserted digitals and physical products in a mix that I love, on the left a journaling card with words,  puffy stickers, phrases stickers and chipboards. On the right a patterned paper to mat my picture around it I built a sort of frame with many different embellishments.

Some details here





Hope this pages will inspire you.
Love, Lory
