Guest Designing for Citrus Twist Kits: September Pocket Pages

 Hello friends! I am excited to share that I am guest designing for Citrus Twist Kits this month! I was on their very first design team a while back (You can actually see all the work I did for them by clicking on the Citrus Twist category in the right column). I shared a little bit about me on their blog this weekend but I will only share my first project here.

The September release inspired me to work on my 2020 family pocket album and I found so many great elements to create a monthly "everyday life" spread. 

When I am sitting down to create, I get a lot of ideas from the products themself. As soon as I received my box of goodies, I opened the "Feels Like Home" ephemera pack and I selected my favorite die-cuts that ended up being my starting points.

I loved layering them in several spots on my pages.

Because most of my photos were rather dark, I chose to use the light pink, peachy and yellow toned journaling cards from the "Everyday Life" pack and printed a sheet from the "Coming Home" Ledger digital papers (one sheet is perfect to create two 4x6 cards).

I added stitching details and enamel dots here and there for texture and typed my journaling on a manual typewriter.

If you are short on words, like I usually am, try using bullet points organized in highs and lows. They give a good snapshot of your week or month and don't require a lot of thinking!

Thank you for stopping by! I will be back soon with a second project that I am working on.
