blog hop day 4: citrus twist kits & the crafter's workshop...

Welcome to Day Four of our Life Bits Blog Hop!
 
Citrus Twist Kits is teaming with The Crafter's Workshop this month for a blog hop and giveaways. We are celebrating the launch of Citrus Twist Kit's Design Girl, Jen Boumis' (hey, that's me!!!), Life Bits stencils. It all started with my handwritten style (that you Pocket Lifer's got to enjoy with our exclusively designed PL stamps this summer) paired with The Crafter's Workshop owner Jaime Echt to create fabulous and fun 3 x 4 stencils for TCW.

Here are some of the results of that TCW/Jen Boumis partnership:

The blog hop begins today, September 9th, and continues on Mondays and Wednesdays in September through the 23rd. Some of our Pocket Life Design Girls--Jen Boumis (yup, still me!), April Joy Hill and WaiSam Ho--are joining with The Crafter's Workshop Design Team members--[Ronda Palazzari and Julie Fei-Fan Balzer]--to share how they are using these wonderful little Life Bits stencils, perfect for life's little projects. Each day of the blog hop--September 9th, September 11th, September 16th,  September 18th and 23rd--when you leave a comment or love for the participating designers on their individual blogs and end your hop by leaving a comment here on the Citrus Twist Kits blog you'll be entered into a drawing for a free Life Bits stencil.

We'll draw a name from all the people who leave a comment on the Citrus Twist Kits blog each day of the hop and will give away one stencil each day of the hop.

On today's blog hop we are featuring the creative ways the design team members used "Remember This":

I chose to use this stencil to add detail to a greeting card. Using some misted papers as a base (used with other TCW stencils), I simply used a black Sharpie pen to add only the words "Remember This" to the top layer and some of the outlines to the bottom layer. I then used one of my stamps designs on a label, added a bit of washi and some smudges of extra color with blue and coral Gelatos. Done! These stencils are versatile tools, not just for pocket scrapbooking!

Thank you for stopping by for the hop. Be sure to leave your comments (or some love) below for your chance to win one of the new The Crafter's Workshop Life Bits stencils.
