I love a good sale, and there’s a great one going on at The Lilypad right now. Sadly, several products are being retired to make space for new ones.. and the good news is that there’s plenty of deals to be made!
Here’s this page I made to scrap this week’s events:
I’m up on the write.click.scrapbook blog today with a mini album project. For the month of March, the team has received kits from different kit clubs and used them to make a mini album. My turn was with the March kit from Citrus Twist, and let me tell you – I had a blast!! I had never used a kit from Citrus Twist before, and when I opened my box I was amazed by the gorgeous combination of product. The colors were right up my alley, and made working on this project an absolute joy!
The wood veneer and stamp for the kit weren’t available yet when they shipped me the kit, so I got a previous add on stamp and some wood veneer arrows instead. The only thing I haven’t used in my album is the black washi tape. In addition to the album featured on the write.click.scrapbook blog, done exclusively with the Citrus Twist kit (plus doily + tags from my stash), I have added some stamping and a couple embellishments in the final version of my album, shown here.
The kit’s pretty colors and embellishments are especially suited for spring, but I had in mind to scrap a winter vacation we did back in 2005, and I thought the kit worked great for it too!
The album is 6″x6″, and I bound it using my Cinch binding machine. One of my favorite things was coloring the letters for the cover. Rather than using the mistable thickers with mists, I painted them with my watercolors.
As you may know, I love color, so I went with a gradation from pink to blue for my title. 🙂
Now, I will walk you through the pages of the album. There are fourteen double spreads, so sit back and relax. 😉
I loved both sides of the Studio Calico Lemon Lush paper I used to mat my photo on the right, so I decided to fold the corners to show both sides. 🙂 I love the pop of color!
I made a photo collage on the left using templates by Designs by Lili to feature a collection of neat sightings from around town. On the right page, I cut a few strips from the Lemon Lush paper and sewed them down with gold thread.
I love the chipboard cameras in the Studio Calico Essentials line!
It was funny to see how few picture of us we took on this trip. Well, what can I say? Our picture taking habits have certainly improved since I became a scrapbooker. 🙂
And that’s it! Thirty seven pictures and one epic trip documented.
Thank you so much to Citrus Twist for this opportunity!
Not much time for crafting this weekend, but in addition to working on my Project Life album (feels good to be only 3 weeks behind!) I scrapped a page with the new goodies by Digital Design Essentials. I skipped the pink that is in the kit and stuck to white, black and gold for this page. 🙂
I hope you had a good weekend! Mine was nice, but over way too soon!
Hello and happy Friday! I’m happy to add some color to your day with this gorgeous new kit at The Lilypad:
I loved the colors in this kit so much – pink, yellow and aqua. And the elements are all so cool! I made a page about the cupcakes we baked last weekend. 🙂
Have a lovely day, and enjoy the weekend! I’ll be back on Monday to share a pretty paper project.
I love the greens and the navy colors in Jenn Barrette’s latest kits! I made a collage of my favorite bits of the kit on this card:
Hope you’re having a great weekend! I never enjoy the switch to daylight saving, but other than that I am enjoying some time off. 🙂
Winter is most definitely still around in my neck of the woods, but I got my fix of spring colors with the March BYOC at The Lilypad!
I made a card using these gorgeous products by Sahlin Studio:
I added a couple of popped up flowers on top of that pretty journaling card to add some dimension to my card.
I also used the gorgeous products by Paislee Press
for this page
Happy Friday!
