Noel Layout for C'est Magnfique Kits and Riddersholm Designs!

I'd love to share my vintage layout I have done for C'est Magnifique's December Kit. The papers featured this month are the gorgeous Riddersholm Our Country Christmas papers. I have found a gorgeous vintage image of Santa and some children. I chose two gorgeous papers from the collection and distressed and tore the edges, layering a red paper over the neutral colored focal page. 

 

I have misted the Holiday Vine from Blue Fern Studios in Lindy's Wake Me Up Before You Go Gold.

I added some stickers from the Main kit and also used some molding paste and a mask from my stash to add pattern and texture to the background.

I have used the chalkboard paint and Silkes paint to color the Noel chipboard. The flowers are gorgeous Prima and Petaloo flowers from the December Flower Add On.

I really love vintage layouts and enjoyed creating this one! More to come from this kit very soon!

XO - Having fun with the November C'est Magnifique Kit!

A lot of the die cuts provided in the November kit and add ons lended themselves toward some fun layouts. I took several tags, tickets and die cuts and added them to my embellishment cluster here, along with gorgeous flowers from the Flower Add On (sold out). I used the Mint gesso to add some subtle coloring.  Again I used the Main Kit, Embellishment Add On, Flower Add On (sold out) and Magnifique Mixed Media Kits for my layout.

From my stash: Molding Paste, Mask, Stamp, Ink.

In this close up above you can see some great die cuts, gorgeous flowers and lots of masking, stamping and painting with the mint gesson. I added the metal butterfly from the Prima Epiphany Ephemera pack found in the Main Kit.

The bakers twine came in the ephemera pack and I added it as fun bows to some tags also found in the Magnifique Mixed Media Kits. 

The November Time after Time kit and add ons are full of versatile embellishments, flowers, and media, don't forget to get yourse while you can!!

Happiness is the Sunshine of the Soul: November Kit for C'est Magnfique!

I'd love to share with you another layout using the gorgeous November C'est Magnifique kit!!My first layout here I had to use the fun clock hands included in the Magnifique Mixed Media Kit. I chose a paper that also had the clock motif to continue the theme.  I chose a fun photo of my daughter and made the layout fun and playful. For the masking I used the stencil in the Mixed Media kit and the gorgeous Finnabair Art Sugar, it is hard to capture the shimmer on a photo!  I used the Main Kit, Embellishment Add On, Flower Add On (sold out) and Magnifique Mixed Media Kits to make my layout.

From my stash: Molding Paste, Ink.

A few details: I used the mask, molding paste and the Finnabair Art Sugar from the Magnifique Mixed Media Kit to make my shimmery fleur de lis. I loaded the page with flowers and fun butterflies from the Embellishment Add On and Flower Add On (sold out).

Just love the clock hands for this layout, they fit in perfectly with the clock motif on the paper... I added some pearl dots using the Buttercup Liquid Pearl included in the Magnifique Mixed Media Kit. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

C'est Magnifique's November Sketch

C'est Magnifique are back this month with a brand new Sketch Challenge.

Here is my take on the gorgeous sketch for this month!

I love how this layout has turned out. The photo is of my great great grandmother on her First Communion day. I have used flowers from the Mixed Media Kit, the Flower Add On, and the Main Kit. There is gorgeous 3D layered stickers and ephemera from the Prima Epiphany line that fit in beautifully with this layout. I have used some mist and stamps from my stash.

C'est Magnifique would love to see YOU use our sketch as inspiration for a layout.  We have very few rules for our Sketch Challenge........as a matter of fact, we have just one rule.......we want your layout to resemble the sketch.  Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch, but we do want to look at your layout and be able to see that you used the sketch.  Other than that, you are free to use anything you have in your personal stash, and we welcome all styles of scrapbooking.

We will award two prizes for this sketch challenge.  The first prize will be a collection of paper, flowers, chipboard, and embellishments selected by C'est Magnfique's owner Deonna.  The winner of the prize package will also be able to shop in the C'est Magnifique Store, and have their purchases sent with the prize package, so that means you won't have to pay for shipping.  

Our second prize, a $10 gift certificate to the C'est Magnifique Store,  will be awarded randomly to one of our participants who obviously uses one of our kits to create their Sketch Challenge layout. 

We will also chose 5 (or maybe more) layouts to feature on our blog!  

You have the entire month of November to submit your layout.

What do you have to do to enter our sketch challenge?

1.  You must be a follower of the blog.  

2.  Create a layout using the sketch, and add it to our blog using the Inlinkz tool.  Please link to the blog post where you have uploaded your layout  (not your general blog address). If you do not have a blog, you may link to an online gallery.

 Deadline for entering the sketch challenge is midnight, November 30, 2014 (US time).

Have fun with the sketch.  We can't wait to see how you use it!

Soar: A Layout for the C'est Magnfique October Kit

I'd love to share another layout from the C'est Magnifique October kit today. I called this one "Soar". My daughter is caught mid leap here and it looks like she is jumping from one mushroom to another lol!! Her ballet teacher had some photos done at the end of their term this past summer and I just had to buy a few. It shows my gorgeous daughter but also our beautiful village as well!

 The layout features many items from the main kit: papers, butterfly, lace, ink, pearls, resins and wooden pieces! The die cuts, blue mist, chipboard, and alphas are from the Embellishment Add On, flowers from Flower Add On .

I had fun layering the masking, stamping and molding paste in the background, then adding in the gorgeous flowers and embellies from the kit.

I love how this turned out and if you are interested in purchasing the kit and add ons, head on over to the store!!!
