GUEST DESIGNING FOR CITRUS TWIST

Hello CTK friends! I can't wait to share all the projects I've created using the May Journeys kit. This kit is perfect for scrapbooking those vacation/beach pictures! I happen to have a good amount of photos from the a family beach vacation I took in 2015 so I decided to create a mini album using most of my favorite photos from that week.


I kept the cover of my book pretty simple. I printed this photo on a letter size photo paper and then cut it down to measure 8"x4". Then I added the stickers and die cut with a stamp and gem. Super simple...I wanted the photo to be the main focus. The sticker and die cut are perfect!



This is the first full spread from the album. I cut down the journaling card to fit across the top of the layout. Then I cut the photo so it would fit behind the die cut frame. I used a scrap piece of the photo from the cover to tuck behind the frame to add some sand... and then added a few die cuts to complete the layout.



One of my favorite things to do is to scrapbook directly on the photo and leaving the picture open in the book. For this layout, I used the "sunshine" die cut with the "well, hello" sentiment from the stamp set. Simple, but effective! This is my crazy sister, Katie. She lives in Colorado and I miss her!


I love this spread. I think it's my favorite. I just love my son's smile. I used the "A LIVE WELL LIVED" journaling card for the top and then added the puffy heart from a previous kit with a tiny gem. Then for the bottom photo I added the chipboard and stamping at the bottom edge of the photo.

To complete this spread, I stapled the flower on the bookmark page and hand journal Summer 2015 at the bottom.



My last spread of today is a page filled with a variety of pictures from our week! I totally love the multiple square sleeve! I printed 8 photos to measure 2"x2" and trimmed them down a tiny bit to fit in each sleeve. I used a few stamps on the photo with just the right amount of embellishments.


I cut the sun and cloud from one of the die cuts to use as an embellishment for one of the blocks. It is perfect!






I love the beach chair with the umbrella stamp. It's so cute. Initially, I was going to color it in with markers, but then I like the black with the black and white photo so I left it alone.


Thank you all for stopping by today! I hope I inspired you with my pages! I had fun making them all.
