C'est Magnifique June kit reveal

It's finally here! C'est Magnifique's June kit, "My Cottage Garden" is available now and we actually have some available in the store now with papers from Les Papiers de Pandore (France)  and Meg's Garden (Australia), gorgeous embellishments from Dusty Attic, Prima, May Arts, Bo Bunny, Maya Road and more!

Here are a couple of layouts I created from this kit. The first one is one of my lovely nieces again....

And another featuring the daughter of one of my lovely cousins~

"Sweet Dreams" C'est Magnifique sneak peek June kit

My cousin's daughter during a photo shoot with friends, growing up entirely too fast! All items on this layout are from C'est Magnifique's June main kit, with the exception of the Tim Holtz vintage photo Distress Ink and Tattered Angels Glimmer mist in Olive Green. 

I used Tim Holtz's Pinecone Die to make the yellow and red flowers.

"Hello!" C'est Magnifique May Kit

One last layout from the May kit....A big ol' denim flower that I used to accent the photo of the little cutie in the denim jacket. They learn really quickly how to use the phone :)

"Find your way"

My darling son is in the Maritime Academy in Texas and a "training cruise" is required each summer consisting of several weeks and several ports of call. He got to go to Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand and American Samoa last summer. He and his shipmates are required to wear US Navy uniforms although it is not affiliated with a military branch. I still think he looks handsome wearing his, though! And what a way to see the world!

In this layout from C'est Magnifique's main kit, I did a lot of die cutting on this layout to give a kind of tropical feel to set off the photo from Pago Pago. Made a couple of flowers from this awesome 7Dots paper and sliced through the patterned paper in a few places to show the cool little jewels from the main kit.

To be 18 again....

When I started this layout, I had no idea what the title would be, but my niece's senior year of high school and her age reminded me of what it was like to be 18 with the world at your feet and the dreams of what may come in the future. 


I used Nadia Cannizzo's sketch created especially for C'est Magnfique  for May to assemble the page~


All of the items on this layout are from the C'est Magnifique May 2012 main kit. I stamped a bird onto the back piece of the Want2Scrap chipboard birdcage and made a rosette flower from the navy polka-dot ribbon included in the kit. 

C'est Magnifique Kit Club May Reveal

The latest kit for May, "Wings of Imagination" has officially been released! This is such artsy, illusion-y, textured-looking and colorful paper that can be used so many different ways, it's mind-boggling~  The collection "Wonderland" from 7Dots studios does not disappoint! There's a color-saturated side with a reverse somewhat understated side that is truly versatile.  I chose a vintage-looking photo of one of my nieces and her friend to really bring out the colors of the paper and flowers.

 Pictured below is the main kit of which there are only a few left in the C'est Magnifique store.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by :)

C'est Magnifique Kit Club May 2012 Sneak Peek "I Do"

I have SO many cousins and I love them all dearly. They are each beautiful to me in their own way and I wish for all of them every happiness in the world. This layout shows the promise of such happiness for one of them.... I really like the doilies and lace that looks so dimensional on these 7 Dots papers, so I decided to play that up and pile on the romantic flowers and flourishes. The white lace in the kit was spritzed with Walnut Gold Glimmer Mist and accented with the Dress It Up flats (Tuscon) included. I inked and embossed the Dusty Attic chipboard with UTEE and inked the papers with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink. 


There will be some kits available in the store May 1, papers and some add-ons are available now~
