Projects for Citrus Twist Kits

I was presented the opportunity to guest design for citrus twist kits for the month of February. I was jumping up and down with joy when I was asked. It made me so very happy. I wanted to share all the layouts I made with the beautiful products in this kit. The colors, patterns and embellishments are perfect. The best part is that it includes the very latest products released at CHA in December - Maggie Holmes Bloom, Maggie Holmes Shine and C'est La Vie from Pink Paisley. The kit also includes citrus twist kits exclusives like the cork circles and clouds, a cut apart phrase sheet and word stickers from pinkFreshStudio for citrus twist kits. Here are my layouts:







I made 5 layouts with the Febraury Main Scrapbook Kit. I still have papers and stickers left. I thoroughly enjoyed making every single layout. I thank Citrus Twist Kits for giving me this wonderful opportunity.
Have a wonderful day!

Guest Designer at Citrus Twist Kits

Hi everyone, I am so proud to announce that I am the guest designer at citrus twist kits for the month of February. It is so amazing to see my photo alongside with all these talented ladies. I am so thankful to citrus twist kits for giving me this opportunity. You should check out their kits. They are filled with the latest products from popular manufacturers. I loved the February kit. It has such a variety of products. You can create such a fun mix of layouts. I made four layouts from the main kit and every one of them is one of my favorites!


Here is a sneak peek of the layout that I made with the Feb kit. Check it out and also get a glimpse of my scrapbooking journey and craft space at the Citrus Twist Kits blog today.

Cold Country

Happy 2016 to everyone. It's been a long time since I have posted or created anything. But I finally got some time to create these holidays. I had the perfect photos from our trip to Fort Wayne, Indiana where my brother lives. I have never wanted to go to a place colder than Santa Barbara at any time. But I had to visit my brother as I had never checked out his new house. As we were landing in Chicago during the thanksgiving weekend, it was snowing. We saw the whole place covered with snow from the plane and it was quite beautiful. The next day was Nov 21st, Arjun's birthday and all he wanted was for it snow on that day. And it did and it looked beautiful. My family and I have hardly ever seen it snow, I have to say it was so breathtaking and beautiful. The kids had the most amazing time trying to make snow angels and having snowball fights. The layouts that I made reflect the beauty of snow, the birthday celebration, the kids excitement to be playing in the snow! All products that I used in these layouts are from Studio Calico kits and the Firsts kit by Ali Edwards.








My layouts are a mix of sizes and techniques. Some of them are hybrid layouts and some are just plain old paper piecing. All I can say is that I had so much fun making these layouts and getting the stories told of our trip.
Hope you enjoyed checking out my layouts. Have a great day!
