C'est Magnfique Guest Designer - Final Layout

I saved my favorite for my last layout to share on the blog. I just loved the blue and green color palette on this one. I love using banners and layered several under my photo, then piled on the flowers!!

I just love the flower add-ons that Leslie puts together for each kit, such an amazing variety to use for your layouts in addition to ones included in the main kit. This month's sold out quickly!

I used the Shimmerz olive branch spray from the Embellishment add on for the background of my layout over my masked chicken wire template, I love the subtle color it gave it!

I hope you go over to C'est Magnifique and check out this months kits, there are only a few left!! Better yet, subscribe so you will be sure to get all the kits!

C'est Magnifique August Kit Cards

I still haven't shown all my projects I did for my guest designer spot at C'est Magnfique Kits. Today I want to share the two cards I made.

I tried my hand at an easel card for these! I love the Pion Vintage Garden line, so gorgeous and some great cut out images and sentiments for card making as well as scrapbook layouts!

Leslie really does put together some gorgeous kits, there are just a few of the beautiful August kit left, the flower and embellishment add ons have already sold out!! Come check them out!!

I have one more layout to show, one of my favorites with the kit, I will show that next week before we head off on our holidays!! Tuscany, can't wait!!!

Grow - C'est Magnifique Kits August Sketch Challenge!

This month I am seeing the challenge from the other side as a guest designer doing an example layout. So exciting!!! Here is my take on the sketch, a gorgeous photo of my eldest cutting some lavender with her safety scissors in the garden when she was young!

Here is Michele Singh's gorgeous sketch for the month!

I hope you come join us over at the blog and give the sketch challenge a go!!

Very Proud to Announce...

That this month I am guest designing with C'est Magnifique Kits!!!

I have been a subscriber for a little over a year now and was so excited and honored when Leslie asked me if I would be interested in guest designing. It took me all of about a second to say yes of course!! I love the international focus of her papers and the gorgeous embellies and flowers she puts together each month!

This months kit is called "A Walk in the Park" and it features Pion Vintage Garden Papers and lots of other gorgeousness, check out this photo!!! Look there are microbeads for me to try out, love it!

I want to show two of my layouts here today, most of my other projects with the kit are muted colors but I went all pink with these two! The first one I used lots of the microbeads on. We got special DIY Thickers that had adhesive on the front so that we could make microbeaded alpha stickers, how fun!! I also added a bit here and there across the layout.

The flower add on is full of gorgeous blooms to build up your layout even more! There is just one left right now they go so fast!!!

My second layout I wanted to use the gorgeous Prima tropical colored blooms in the flower add on, so I went a bit brighter again!! I added on modeling paste and masking and lots of misting. I pulled out my Martha Stewart doily punch and used some of the great Teresa Collins chipboard included in the kit. I took a fun photos of my eldest daughter and her two BFFs she's had since she was about 5!!

I layered lots of flowers, bling and butterflies and even blinged up the fussy cut butterflies from the gorgeous Pion papers with Donna Salazar fairy dust glitter.

I will show a few more layouts and cards I made over the next few weeks. Come back on August 1 and see my layout made with this month's gorgeous sketch!!

I just checked and there are still some kits and add-ons available in the August section of the store HERE. They go quickly so I hope you go check them out now!!
