Citrus Twist Kits | June 2015 | Part 1

It is time to show two of the layouts I made this month for Citrus Twist Kits. To be honest - that kit is beautiful. And there's so much stuff in it, that's really unbelievable ...

But enough of that, here is the first layout. I didn't use a ton of papers and/or embellishments here, but the ones I used are from all the kits, a bit of every kit in here.

I am so hooked on circles and the color yellow right now, and I knew I wanted to use them on this layout about my son, me and how similar we sometimes are to each other.

The design is quite simple and I planned it in my graphic programm, because I wanted to create the title there. It was easy and quick to create the title and add the journaling and then I went on to die cut the circles, adhere them, add the photos and some stitching. The little triangles are drawn with a fine tip black marker.

Here are some close-ups:

Sometimes I so enjoy to scrap clean, it is fun!

The next layout, I challenged myself to use the colored cardstock that came with the add-on kit. I tend to use a lot of white cardstock and the colored cardstock is left unnoticed. That's a shame, I really need to change that. 

I also did you some white cardstock here, yes, but I really wanted the journaling and the beautiful stamps to pop. The stamps fit perfectly to those photos I made on one of our vacations to Spain. Actually it is been a video and those are screenshots. ;)

This layout is quite simple and clean too, though it took me a while, because of the colored cardstock. But the result is a layout that I really do like, so that's ok. I also used paper and embellishments from all the kits this month, a bit here and there. So fun!

That's it for today, I will show you the other layouts I made with this month's kit soon.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and have a great week! :)
