Happy Sunday to everyone! It is Marci with you today. We have another amazing sketch for you this week.

I loved that this sketch has a place for multiple pictures. I did end up replacing one of the journaling spots for even another picture. When I first looked at this sketch I saw an 8.5in x 11in layout. I choose to resize it to 7in x8.25in which will fit into one of the 6x8 life crafted albums. I also knew that I wanted this on the right side of my album based on where I had space for a one page layout. Although, I could have left the sketch as is, knowing that it would be on the right side, I decided to rotate the sketch 180 degrees. This puts the large paper stripe on the right side of the layout. 

I used three of the digital papers from the GOING PLACES digital collection. I loved the bright and cheery orange and yellow paper. I also used a green and blue paper to tie in with the colors of my photos. With the smaller layout size and keeping my photos larger, I choose to move the title vertically and onto the stripe of paper. 

I used three of this month's cut files on this layout. First, was the title HAPPY CAMPER. Next, I resized two of the other cut files, the LOVE arrow and the LET'S Go arrow, to make two smaller embellishments. I wanted some dimension to these cut files so I cut each one three times and layered them together. Now each one has the thickness of chipboard and is elevated a little off the page. I love the esthetic. 

Similar to the sketch, I wanted to add my journaling onto a tag behind the lower picture. I used double sided tape along three sides to make a pocket behind the picture. My pictures are about 3.25in wide and 2.5in tall. I made my tag 4in x 2in so it would fit inside the pocket I created. 

To finish off the spread I pulled some items from my Citrus Twist stash. These Puffy Word Phrase Stickers matched the colors in the GOING PLACES collection perfectly, so did these Cardstock stickers. Lastly, I added a heart and arrow from this Chipboard Arrow Sticker Set. They round out my third cluster of embellishments and match the denim and wood colors in my photos. 

Thank you for visiting the blog today. I would love to see how you use this sketch in your crafting!

Inspiration with Marivi

Hello everyone and happy December,

I bring you some inspiration with the December new products, a couple of projects that I hope you like.

In this two-page layout I have used a blank sheet, where I have placed the photo with the title, which I have adorned with stars, splashes and under the photo a lace.

Also a puffy sticker from a previous kit and an enamel dots.

Here you can see the details that I have sewn on the other page.

I have chosen this paper with a gold pattern.

With a die I have made this star with relief, and as a background a paper with flowers.

This star comes in the abc with which I have put the title.

For this I have used a sheet with bees and with several labels placed in layers I have written several sentences, I have also stamped a camera.

On the other page I have stamped "snapshot" several times to create a background and I have pasted some flowers on top of the photo, creating a bouquet that comes out of the photo.

Here I have also added various stickers from previous kits.

You can find it all in CTK .

This is it for today, see you soon!

 

Inspiration with Marivi

Hello again, I am very happy to post today ... because it is my birthday, it is a gift.

I bring two small layouts with the beautiful November Kit.

I have combined two papers from the collection, one with the photo and the other with a project life card, which I have decorated with some ephemera flowers and leaves and some enamel dots.

In this photo you can see more details.

I have decorated the photo with a label and a puffy heart.

Here I have used a pocket card to make a sewn pocket.

That I have combined for the other page with a decorated paper from the collection.

I have sewn two ephemera labels as decoration and I have punched out a couple of small flowers with the paper from the other page.

Here I have framed the details of this page sewn with the sewing machine.

With a stamp I have stamped a phrase.And inside the frame a bird on a label and several enamel dots.

I hope you like it and thank you very much for reading me.

See you soon!

 

Life crafted with Marivi

Hello again!

Today I am here to show you what I have done with the Life Crafted kit from October. I have also added some details of Add-on kit

On this page I have used the paper with gray tones and another with orange colors.

At the bottom a sticker with a word and some puffy Crate Paper details.

Here I have also added a small sticker, to match those on the other page.

Here you can see the ornaments in more detail, as you can see I have also placed two enamel dots, one green and the other yellow to contrast with the rest of the colors.

On the other page I have written a little and in the center some puffy houses and a stamped phrase.

In this project I have used vellum and a craft paper.

I have used the velum to veil the stars, hearts and the leaf that I placed as a background.

I have sewn the velum and on top I have glued enamel dots and I have used a stamp.

On the stamped paper I have pasted the title, and some strips with phrases.

With the photo I have pasted a golden flower and a puffy sticker.

In this photo you can see in more detail how I have sewn and placed the background.

Thank you very much for stopping by, and see you soon!

 

Kit Love with Marivi

Hello again!

Today two new layouts with the precious September kit.

In this I have combined with a pocket page and two cards.

On the white paper I have cut out and pasted a piece of paper as the background of the photo I have also added a lace.

In one corner I have sewn a blue flower with a pink label.

I have splashed gold on the page.

I have placed number two on an ephemera piece.

With two strips of paper I have adorned the bottom part and I have glued some enamel dots and a button.

For this I have left the two blank pages only decorated with a strip of paper from one side to the other.

At one end of the strip I have glued a flower with a heart.

And on the other side the photo with some ticket and enamel dots.

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

See you soon!

 

Pocket Traveler's Notebook Layout with Tina

Hello friends! It's Tina here today with you to share a new project using the beautiful January Life Crafted and Add-On Scrapbooking kits. I decided to create a layout about my cat Gandalf in the pocket traveler's notebook.

I started by trimming the photos of my cat to fit on the page, and then I adhered them to the right hand side of the spread to create a flip-up. After that I cut a mint pattern paper from the Life Crafted kit into two strips and glued them down on the both sides of the spread.

I really wanted to use the gorgeous gold glitter ephemera piece "fabulous" as a title, and as it was already consisted of two parts I adhered one of them on the photo and the other on the left hand side of the spread.

Next I simply made two ephemera clusters using the Add-On Kit, wrote down my journaling and added a few smaller embellishments here and there to add some dimension.

I really like how easy this project came together with the help of beautiful and inspiring products in the January Citrus Twist Kits. I hope you will share your creations with us on the Citrus Twist Kits Fan page on Facebook or on Instagram using the #citrustwistkits @citrustwistkits.

Thank you so much for stopping by! And happy crafting!
