Hello there, today I have a blog post up on Citrus Twist Kits blog to share my Pocket Life pages using November PL Kit. I love the red and green patterned papers in the kit, thus I decided to make a 12x12 PL page with 1/2 red and 1/2 green. I even try to look for photos that have coordinating colour scheme.
I love the die cut vellum that are included in the kit and use it as the title card for this month spread.
See? I really tried my best to look for photos with red to match the red patterned paper.
And here's the sketches for this week Pocket Life page. One of the sketches is by cutting your photos into half and fit them into two 3' x 4' pockets.
After completing the red-green combo Pocket Life page, I thought of doing something more monotonous. So I grab 6 more pieces of black& white, grey papers from the kit and completed another 12x12 pocket life page. I keep the photo to be bright and colour to add good contrast to this monochromatic page.
It is so fun to scrap pocket life pages according to fixed colour themed and it really push me to think out of the box. I hope you have fun scrapbooking and doing pocket life pages with this month kit too! Thanks for dropping by!
Hello hello there! Today I have a FUN pocket life post for you. I want to show you my process video and also behind the scene of how I filmed my scrapbooking process video. And also, I have a mini invader dropping by while I was scrapping, so sorry for the shaky video ;)
Here's how I set up my iPhone up to film process video. I prefer scrapping on the floor because thats the brightest spot in my room without any shadow / dark spot while filming. I hang a phone clip on the tripod and place a piece of wooden board (exactly the same materials as my work desk) on the floor. Thats why you would see my little ones' walking around while I was filming the video.
**Scroll to the end of the post to watch my process video ;) Thank you!**
And here's the photo of the floor before I started scrapping. I always lay all the items out to see what I like and want to use. But, I never really plan my layouts or pages. I am an ad-hoc scrappers as things will never turn out the way I want it to be so I always like to just go wiht he flow when I scrap.
And how it looks like when I almost done scrapping. The little spool of washi tapes in the cups and bowls do keep my little one occupied while I was scrapping. He likes to play with washi tapes, enamel dots and also stickers. It is never too early to start young!
I don't know where does he get the idea from, he stick those enamel dots onto the floor, his toe nails and also his ears.
Okay, and here;s the pictures of my pages using mainly September Pocket Life and PL Embellies kit. I love the spread has little gold colour in it. This page is a gentle reminder to myself on the little things that I want to remember and also the two Instagram friends that I met in Bangkok and Shanghai.
This double page spread is full of colours and I especially like the pre-stitched 4x6 card that came in the PL Embellies kit.
I also used the vellum pockets that are included in the PL Embellies kit in one of the 3x4 pockets.
Me and my Instagram friends in Shanghai and Bangkok. It is so fun to meet people from all over the world that share same interest and passion as me ;)
And I also would like to show you this fun stuff that I got from Citrus Twist Store.
I love how compact this stamp cleaner is and it is more convenient (and easy to bring around) than using the traditional stamp cleaner that came in a bottle. After stamping, all we need to do is to press/tap the clear stamps onto the cleaning pad and wipe it off with dry towel. I use baby wipes here to clean my stamps.
Okay, the cleaning pad does became stained after the ink transferred to the cleaning pad. According to the instructions, this Color Box Cleaning Pad can be refreshed with Cleaning Pad refill.
And here's my process video! I hope you enjoy peeking into my 'behind the scene' on how I film my process video and also my mini invader.
Hello there, I have my August Pocket Life pages up on Citrus Twist Kits blog this week. I am so sorry thatI have been posting this blog post late. The immigration held up my kit and it took much much much longer than usual. Anyways, August is my birthday month but things haven't been great. So I thought I would scrap a colourful page and also journal a little about my unhappiness. Things do happen and it is not a must to just record happy moments in my Pocket Life pages.
So here's my page, with a lot of goodies from August Pocket Life kit & Embellies kit. So much goodies that I think I could scrap a few more pages and share on our CTK Fans page.
Although this two weeks I had a lot of ups & downs, but happy colours in this page does remind me to count my everyday blessings and be grateful.
I am pretty much happy with doing my monthly spread and not stressing myself for 'catching up' on those un-documented weeks and photos. Everything in the page is from August Pocket Life kit and Embellies kit and only sneak in a sheet of Crate Paper Thickers.
I also added some journalling with water-colour and my vintage typewriter.
This pictures of all my Filofaxes in pink definitely made me happy!
To me, it is definitely ok to record my negative thoughts and unhappiness in my PL.
I water-colour a piece of white card stock and add my journalling with my vintage typewrite with cursive font.
Another pic from this week to remind myself to be grateful - I met this cute doggie whose nose has been chopped off by some cruel 'human'. HE is still a handsome yet cheerful chap regardless how sorry we felt for him.
And there you go, I am in the midst of editing a process video for this page and will upload to my Youtube channel + CTK fans page soon. Thanks for looking and have a great week ahead. I do hope that my page inspires you to document the true moments of your everyday life - be it ups and downs, and all the little things that remind us to be grateful + treasure our life.
Edit: I deleted the videos on my phone and on my iMovie accidentally so no video for this spread ;( Sorry.
Hello there! I am sharing one of my Poclet Life pages on Citrus Twist Kits blog together with a process video on how I put all my pages together. The video is almost 9 minutes but I fast forward 4 times, how I wish I could make a page under 10 minutes. Lol. Andd yes, i was super nervous during the video, although it is just a process video that I do not need to talk, but heck! I just couldn't be myself when I am filming it. Anyway, enjoy the video and do subscribe to my Youtube channel. I am hoping to make more videos in the future, It is a lot of work to edit the video, but it is so fun!
And here's the close up of the page. I do only monthly pages nowadays, which is way less stressful for me. I don't squeezing all the photos in 2 pages, but i will just group photos in the same month together. And I am loving the Maggie Holmes die cut that came in the May kit, small packaging that packed with a lot of yummy vellum die cuts!
More close-ups here:
I have also added some Project Life cards from Becky Higgins to stretch my kit. I have a tonnes of PL cards that I barely use them, so I decided to combined the PL cards with CTK kits when I am working on my spreads.
This 3x4 cards is one ofmy CTK exclusive card this month. Love such simple prompts for journalling.
Happy Friday everyone! Today its Sam to share a Pocket Life layout with you using April PL Kit which has a lot of happy, spring colours. I am always a big fans of scrapbooking products with spring theme. And here's my spread, using photos that I print out from my usual Canon Ixma MG6370 and also photos from my Fujifilm Instax Share.
Do you notice I added a QR code to my spread on the top left pocket of my right page? I will show you the steps in this post. It is fun and easy to add videos to your PL page.
I especially love the exclusive wood chips that come with the April kit.
The 'Today Was …' is also one of the exclusive PL card from the kit.
And here's the close-up of the QR code:
you can download QR Scanner app to your phone and try scanning this QR code form your monitor. I tried and it works!
Here's a simple tutorial on how I generate the QR code:
2. Then I cut & paste the link to be shared to a free QR code generator website. There are a long list of these websites and I use QRstuff to generate mine.
>> Data Type: YoouTube Video
>> Key in video ID / Video URL
>> I choose encoding option: Dynamic
>> Output type: Download
And here's the generated QR code for my YouTube video which you can just print and add to your layout or PL pages. Sometimes it is just more fun to include video into your pages. And this is the QR Code scanner app that I use on my iPhone:
These are the PL sketches for this week post:
I hope you get inspired and add QR code to your pages to make it more interactive. And thanks for dropping by!
