Citrus Twist Guest Projects - May 2017

If you've been following the Citrus Twist Kits blog or Facebook fan page the past few weeks, you may have seen a few projects that I've shared as their Guest Designer for May. I was blessed to join their amazing creative team this month, using the main scrapbook kit. The products in this kit were just GORGEOUS, and perfect for a huge week I had to document which included a school event for my daughter, pre-Easter activities, and multiple family gatherings on Easter.

When I have a large week like this that I'm documenting in my Project Life album, my go-to approach is to create what I call an "insert"... essentially, an extra layout or pocket page that is narrower than 12" wide. Keeping these inserts narrower helps the left and right pages act as "bookends" and make it clear they are a PART of a larger whole. This particular week ended up consisting of the base layout (left & right Design A pages) plus TWO inserts- an 8.5x11 layout and a pocket page with 3"x3" squares. All 3 of these have been shared on the Citrus Twist Kits blog here, here and here.

In this post I wanted to share the 3 projects and how they all look together. As you can see, the main kit was plenty of product to create multiple projects!

Here is the overall base layout...

And a few details from those pages...

Here is the first insert, an 8.5x11 layout...

I added a tab along the edge, to help it stand out from the base pages...

Here is the 2nd insert, which is a pocket page of 3" squares. Front...

I have a tutorial for the confetti pocket below, on the Citrus Twist Kits blog...

Here's a final look at how the inserts look in the album...

I had a great time joining the Citrus Twist Kits Deisgn Team for the month and hope they'll have me back again in the future!
