2016 PL Week Fourteen

Hello everyone! Back today to share my Week Fourteen pocket page weekly layout using Citrus Twist's April kit, Santorini. 

This month's Citrus Twist kit is a good mix of these bright reds/yellows/greens and some pastel blues and pinks. For this spread, I decided to use the green and red looks because of some of the colors in the bottom right photo. I'm not going to lie to you, it was a bit of a challenge as these colors are so unusual! But I trusted in the kit and pulled together a layout that I think complements my photos!

One of the things that I liked a lot was a 6x6 patterned paper that could also be a cut-apart. I cut out this phrase "you are free to fly away" and "today tomorrow always" from it. I like the pop of color and I like the font and the sayings. Winner in my book! I also really liked the yellow dot patterned paper. The dots are ombre so it kind of looks like champagne bubbles floating up and up. I put it next to the airplane picture! Up up and away! This photo represents a trip I took to Charlotte. I have about a billion more photos, but I am doing a separate mini album, so I just needed one in my weekly album.

There was a yellow and red hand-painted look paper in the kit (there is also a gorgeous coordinating paper in blue/purple/white). It was VERY bright but it also matched my color scheme. I could not add it as it was, but I knew I wanted to incorporate the colors, so I cut out a 3x4 card from the 6x6 paper and layered vellum on top to tone down the brightness. I just stapled it with my tiny attacher, and then I added green alphas on top to spell "Charlotte" because that's where I was for most of the week! 

The card on the right is a transparency I bought from the Citrus Twist shop, and it does not come with the kit. I layered a piece of white paper behind it because I didn't think I wanted it to show through to my next page, which kind of defeats the point of the transparency, but I liked the colors and the phrase and the little pop of gold. It's also an interesting texture!

Because everything was so super-bright and saturated in this week's spread, I decided to keep the embellishing to a minimum to keep it from being overwhelming. I added a label from the cut-apart sheet, a puffy heart, and a tiny bit of stamping.

That's it! Super simple this week in bright colors! Thanks for reading!
