For this challenge I decided to stamp a phrase down the side of my paper strips and underneath my title. I'll be honest, if it weren't for this challenge, I would not have done this. However, I am so pleased with the end result! It goes to show that playing along with challenges and creating something out of your comfort zone can pay off with a layout that you love.<br />

The flamingo is from the Heidi Swapp Pineapple Crush line and I thought it would be a great addition to this layout. If you look closely you can see a bit of the tulle peeking out under the photo that is included in the main kit.</div>

This chipboard toucan is absolutely adorable and he was perfect to include on this page as well. I have three different tropical birds on this layout, but I decided that instead of hoarding them I would use them on a layout that I love.</div>

As far as the stamping, I decided to stamp one phrase multiple times above the photo and below the title. The repetition of the phrase along with 2nd and 3rd generation stamping brings visual interest to the border. </div>

I primarily used an older Felicity Jane kit that I purchased on sale just a few weeks ago. Other products that I used are sequins from <a href="https://spiegelmom-scraps.myshopify.com/collections/sequins-1">SpiegelMom Scraps</a> and alphas from <a href="http://freckledfawn.com/?rfsn=428693.7dfbd">Freckled Fawn</a>.<br />

<a href="https://felicityjane.com/">Felicity Jane</a> kits contain some of the best stamps. I used a stamp tool to help stamp the You Rock! phrase multiple times to get a clean image. The ink that I used for this image is a Prima chalk ink calledTin Can. The phrase stamps and border stamp under the title were stamped with my favorite black Versafine ink.<br />

These gorgeous tassels were also included in the kit. I used a needle to thread crochet thread in the tassel and then just tied a knot. I am going to journal on the tag about how my sweet girl makes me smile with her smile. She is truly a ray of sunshine in our lives.</div>

I cut the snowflake die cut out with my Silhouette Cameo, and lightly adhered it to my background. I then chose two different colors of embroidery floss and stitched through the snowflakes. This did take some time, and my fingers were a bit sore afterwards, but I love the end result.<br />

Sketch RevealHello friends! It's time for another sketch reveal from <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.ca/">Stuck?! Sketches</a> and as usual it is a great sketch! The sketch calls for two square photos, but I chose one 3x4 photo and a journaling card instead.<br />

One of my favorite collections by Maggie Holmes is Chasing Dreams and that is primarily what I used to create this layout. The photo is an older photo and thus a bit muted in colors. Normally I wouldn't pair green with aqua, but for this layout I feel that the two colors worked beautifully.<br />

I love birds and it doesn't matter to me one bit to put a bird on a cheering page. You do not have to use sports themed embellishments on pages that are documenting your sports photos. </div>

Today I am going to post my projects that I made using the <a href="http://www.citrustwistkits.com/kits.php">Citrus Twist</a> Sugarland kits. I received the main kit, embellishment and project life kit this month and will let you know which kits I used in making the projects.<br />
<br />
My first layout uses only the main kit which contained that adorable pom pom fringe! This layout was also created specifically with the 3-to-inspire weekly challenge, and my prompts were to use a photo that you love, use the pom pom trim, and to stitch.<br />

I have recently started using a Traveler's Notebook and have started an insert that is scripture based. This verse was a verse that I needed one day and I have found that when I am creating the pages that I am reflecting on the verse and finding comfort. This hobby is truly therapeutic. This is my favorite project this month and it was made using the main kit, project life kit, and patterned paper add-on.</div>

Next up I have a sports page to share, and on this page I used the Main kit and Embellishment add-on. The puffy word stickers from Crate Paper Good Vibes are amazing. I love the font, and it contains a few phrases that I have not seen before in Thickers. I realized after I took the photos of the layout that I did not add my journaling. Underneath the top cluster I typed out something that my daughter said her first year of playing softball...."I have been waiting my whole life to play softball". Every now and then I actually remembered to write down a few of the things that my kids said, and I do try and work them onto pages when I can do so. </div>

My final project for the month used the Main, Embellishment, and Project Life kits, and the free cut file designed by Kira. It does take some time to back the cut file, but the process is quite enjoyable to me. I stitched around the outside edge using embroidery floss. </div>

Sketch Reveal<span style="font-size: large;">Hey friends! It's already time to share another sketch with you from <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.ca/">Stuck?! Sketches</a>. I hope that you are not sick of Christmas layouts, because today's sketch was perfect for me to document the kids and their visit to Santa.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">I modified the sketch by substituting a vertical 5x7 photo for the two smaller photos. Santa visit layouts have their own album, and for continuity I created the beginning ones with a kraft cardstock base. White is definitely my preference now, but I did want to keep with the theme of the album, yet maintain my current style. Adding a gorgeous specialty paper to the background with a kraft border allowed me to do both!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello friends! It's a new year and time for a new sketch from <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.ca/">Stuck?! Sketches</a>. This is a fun sketch and my layout doesn't really look too much like the sketch in the end, and that is okay. Remember sketches are to be used as inspiration in whatever form that you need them. Of course you can follow them exactly, which I will often do when I am lacking mojo. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love the diamonds that are falling down the page. I am not ready to stop scrapping Christmas though, so I challenged myself to create another page. This cut file by Paige Evans has the same feel which is why I chose to use it. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had a blast creating this background. I first used a clear gesso to prime the cardstock, then used Shimmerz mists to add color to the background. After that was dry I stamped tiny gold stars with gold ink and adhered sequins from <a href="https://spiegelmom-scraps.myshopify.com/collections/sequins-1">SpiegelMom Scraps</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you watch my process video you will notice that I stamped directly on the layout. I did not use the right ink though, and the top phrase bled a little and it was just bugging me. I pulled out some labels and layered the phrases on top to fix it. The stamp set is an older Citrus Twist stamp that is no longer available, the puffy sticker is from Pinkfresh Studio, and the gold alphas are Heidi Swapp.</span></div>

Today I have a layout using the <a href="http://www.citrustwistkits.com/kits.php">Citrus Twist</a> main scrapbook kit "Sonoma". The colors of this kit are so bright and cheery and a breath of fresh air among all of my Christmas supplies that are out. The photo that I am scrapping is my view from the balcony of the cruise ship while we were sitting in port. The water was a gorgeous blue, I was reading a good book, and all was well in that moment. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">O</span><span style="font-size: large;">ne of my favorite things to do is to incorporate different fonts in my title. The mix of the green and gold just makes me happy. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The cork embellishments included in the kit have great little sayings and are very versatile. I tried to incorporate the ampersand in the title, but could not get it to work. However, I think that it reads well with the cork phrase.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The pictures that I chose are several years apart. I meant to add the dates on before I took the photos for the blog, but I forgot. Incorporating photos that show change are some of my favorite photos to document. I will either write the year above each photo, or use tiny number stickers on each one. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">To create this layout I used primarily Crate Paper's Falala collection, and the black patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye.

<span style="font-size: large;">I thought that the contrast between these colors was nice and a bit different for me. The black chipboard phrases are from <a href="http://freckledfawn.com/?rfsn=428693.7dfbd">Freckled Fawn</a> and they are quite possibly my favorite embellishment from them of all time.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I stayed pretty true to the sketch with minor changes. The page needed grounding so I added photo corners on two sides which also help with the diagonal design. I also added another paper layer underneath which added a bit of warmth to the page and allowed the bright colors to shine.</span></div>

This sweet photo of my baby girl following her daddy with her pumpkins is most certainly one of them. I can still hear her saying "punkin" and still remember her excitement at choosing her very own punkins to take home. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To create this page I used both the main and PL <a href="http://www.citrustwistkits.com/kits.php">Citrus Twist</a> kits, as well as used one of the sketches for this month. I'm always looking for inspiration on creating pages that are a bit outside of my norm, and the title placement on this sketch is a bit different for me.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Stitching the paper strips adds a bit of texture and allows me to ruffle the edges of the strips for more dimension. I fussy cut a few leaves from the patterned paper add-on from October. The little acorns make such a sweet accent to the cluster.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I searched hard through my stash to come up with papers that would work with this layout. Everything except that background patterned paper came from my scrap drawer! I found two patterned papers that had the appropriate shade of green, but neither were the right type to back the badge. So, I pulled out my watercolors and Shimmerz, and created my own background. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">To create this Slytherin badge, I did a google search and found an image that was not too detailed so that it would cut nicely in my Silhouette. To make the different layers, I copied and traced it three times and cut it out with different colors of cardstock. Then, it was time to layer them on top of the watercolor paper and glue the pieces down. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The glitter bats are from the Target dollar spot and I think they are a few years old. The sequins are from <a href="https://spiegelmom-scraps.myshopify.com/collections/sequins-1/products/s">SpiegelMom Scraps</a> and the perfect shade of green. I cannot tell a lie...I did specifically buy them for this layout. However, the shades of green are quite lovely and will work well for other projects.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The "Under Your Spell" sticker has been in my stash for a very long time. These <a href="http://shrsl.com/mhwr">Thickers by Pebbles</a> are similar and have some great phrases. The black word stickers are by <a href="http://shrsl.com/mhwo">Tim Holtz</a>. I think that it is incredible just how versatile these phrases truly are...I would have never imagined that I could find one to work on a Halloween layout.</span><br />

I'm back today with a Traveler's Notebook spread using the gorgeous <a href="http://www.citrustwistkits.com/kits.php">Citrus Twist</a> PL kit. I've decided to dedicate an insert to documenting things that I am grateful for, and working in it throughout the year.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Several years ago I injured my back while at work. The recovery has been slow, but fortunately for me I have been able to return to work a day or two a week. One of the things that has tremendously helped me is massage therapy. I am blessed to have found this therapist, who not only has healing hands, but has become a true friend.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The plaid paper is a Citrus Twist exclusive and one of my favorites this month. I'm a sucker for a pretty plaid. This one is perfectly suited for this photo even though the blues don't quite match. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorite things about this spread is the tag embellishment cluster. The sweet little flowers fit perfectly on the tag, and the phrase die cut completes the cluster and balances the pop of black from the left side of the spread.</span></div>

It's gorgeous, and the exclusive paper this month seems like it was made just for me! If you have followed me for a while, you know just how much I love floral papers, and this paper is no exception. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've had this photo in a pile to be scrapped for years...yes, years! I was waiting for inspiration, and this kit certainly inspired me to get it documented. I chose cut file by Paige Evans that is available in the Silhouette design store. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The orange floral paper is the first one that I chose to back the cut file with and since I love it so much it had to go in the center of the pumpkin. The aqua triangle paper and the yellow and white diagonal striped paper are perfect choices to place beside the floral since both colors are found in the floral. To finish off the ends of the pumpkin, I backed the file with the soft coral-red paper which pulls out colors in the photo.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This cut file begged me to stitch around it...yes it truly begged :) I used all six strands of embroidery floss and did a simple backstitch all around the pumpkin. I'm in love with the way that it turned out.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This photo makes me laugh because it is near impossible to get two toddlers to look at the camera at the same time, much less smile. The main kit has a lot of die cuts included and this circle one that says "not happening" needed to be on this page. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's time for another sketch to be revealed at <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.ca/">Stuck?! Sketches</a> and this was a fun one. I adapted the sketch ever so slightly by adding a patterned paper strip on the top and using larger photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Recently I was in a wedding, and the bride arranged for the entire bridal party to have their hair and makeup done that day. I have not had my hair styled other than getting it cut since my wedding, and it was a treat. I felt amazing and I decided to take photos of my hair and document it. These photos were taken after the wedding and reception at midnight in my bathroom. It just goes to show that you don't necessarily have to have natural light, or a great background to get photos of something that you want to document.</span></div>

This cluster was my favorite part of the layout, and it was exactly what I had envisioned for this page.</span></div>

Creating the spread was definitely a challenge due to the smaller surface area, but I love the end result and will be creating more pages in the near future.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This spread was created after the Las Vegas massacre. My heart was broken for all of the families and I needed to get something down on paper. Since the world is in need of more love, I chose that as my title. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In creating this spread I used the gorgeous October <a href="http://www.citrustwistkits.com/kits.php">Citrus Twist kits</a>. Unfortunately the kit is now sold out but you can sign up to begin a subscription with November's kit.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The exclusive stamp Life is Good is still available in the shop as of this moment. One of my favorite phrases on the stamp is "yes. this.", and it was perfect for this spread. I stamped it several times on the labels and love the way that it turned out.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As a Christian I look for comfort in the Bible. There is always a verse that speaks to my heart and gives me comfort, and I wanted to include it on this spread. I'm thinking that this insert of my TN will be dedicated to Bible verses, devotions, or other forms of worship. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't play with SnapChat often, but the heart filter was perfect for the selfie that I sent to my husband to let him know how much I missed him when he was out of town. It became the perfect photo for this spread. Paige included some really great phrases in her new collection, and this die cut spoke to me...it is what I have to believe. Good things are coming.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I messed up on the stamping so I stamped on plain cardstock and covered it up. While it is not perfect, it is good enough and definitely not worth me tearing up the page like I've been known to do :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">I challenged myself to scrap a photo that has been mocking me...the colors in it were challenging, and to top it off it is of a special place and I really wanted to do it justice. My jumping off point for this sketch was the black scallop border on the top. I'm not going to lie to you and say that this was an easy layout to make. The most challenging bit was finding colors that worked well with the photo, but having a sketch to help made creating the layout much easier.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Although it is barely noticeable, I layered and distressed a thin border of pale pink paper between the top strip and the scallop border. I didn't want the top border to be too thick and heavy so keeping it thin helped to give it some extra texture without making it too heavy.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Black intimidates me yet I love it. It is hard for me to find a good balance without making the page feel dark and overwhelming. I envy other scrapbookers that effortlessly use dark colors and make them look fabulous.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I chose not to add journaling to this layout, but may go back and add it at a later date. Right now my plan is to create a couple of more pages that tell the story but I haven't figured out exactly which ones I want to use and how I am going to address the journaling. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hand stitching has been a love of mine since I was a little girl. These die cuts come to life with a bit of stitching in the centers. Choosing embroidery floss to match the die cuts made my stitching easier and gave me a bit of wiggle room in case my stitches were not quite on target.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">To jazz up the background I chose a heavyweight acrylic paint by Liquitex and used a large dry brush to paint it on the background. I find that using the heavyweight paint that my paper does not buckle nearly as much, nor do I need to use gesso.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This may seem like a weird photo, but this is a close up shot of my layout after I used a craft knife to scrape Versafine ink off the layout. The ink was on the inside of my finger and I did not see it until after it was on the page. Hopefully you won't make this mistake, but if you do at least you know a method of fixing it!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a process video if you'd like to take a closer peek at how I created this layout. Thanks so much and I hope that you have a great day!</span><br />

Sketch Reveal<span style="font-size: large;">Today I have a fun layout and sketch to share with you that Laura from <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.ca/">Stuck?! Sketches</a> designed. This sketch is perfect to use up your scraps, branding strips, or washi and I ended up using all three on this layout.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All of the supplies that I used for this layout are from Felicity Jane with the exception of the chipboard camera which is from Crate's Oasis collection, the photo corners (Chatterbox), tag, ribbon, and the silver apple paper clip (unknown).</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There really isn't a need for much journaling on this layout. I have adhered a glassine envelope to the back of the photo mat so that I can easily slip the tag in and out if I decide to journal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This sketch is also a great way to use your border punches. I used two on this page, but could have easily incorporated more styles.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sewing the strips of patterned papers adds a bit of whimsy to this page. I love stitching and the texture that it brings to a layout.</span></div>

Fussy cutting these flowers and then stitching them did take me several hours, but I love doing it so I don't mind it at all. My wrist did hurt a bit afterwards...this is the biggest hand stitching project I've done since spraining it, but the pain was oh so worth it :)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Instead of using square photos, I chose two 3x4 photos and then just adjusted the sketch from that point. I did move the title underneath the photo cluster since the size of my title was quite a bit larger than the bottom cluster.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">All of the products used on the layout are from Cocoa Vanilla's line You Rock, with the exception of the star sequins (Felicity Jane) and Thickers. The gray and white striped patterned paper is just lovely, and I wish that I had another full sheet. It makes a nice background with its subtle horizontal stripes.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Since this is a masculine page, I looped the twine through the tag and then tied a knot in it instead of my usual bow.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I will be adding journaling to the page but I need to find out which song my son played for this recital before I do so. The date will be stamped on the black label in the lower cluster. If I have to add journaling at a later time, I will often leave off the date as well. This prevents me from putting the layout away in an album and forgetting to journal.</span></div>
