A last look at the December Kit from C'est Magnifique

Hello, everyone! Sandi here with you today, sharing a last look at the December C'est Magnifique Kit, "Holiday Magic."  Leslie always puts together the most beautiful kits but being a lover of all things Christmas, this one truly "sang my name!" 

"Christmas Greetings"

First up I went a little outside my normal box and scrapped in the upper left-hand corner and used the printed red paper as my background instead of a more solid design.  In the Spirit of Christmas, I decided that paper tearing was in order! The flowers from the FAO are so gorgeous and perfectly compliment the remainder of the kit. 

The photo is of the slimline tree that we had to buy last year to better acommodate our downstairs floor plan. 

To complete my layout I have used the Main Kit, the Flower Add-on and the Embellishment Add-on. 
From my stash I've used: Gesso and pearls. 


"Time to Shop"

Next is a photo of my 3 darling daughters on a recent annual Girl's Shopping Day.  I loved the blue and beige tones of some of the Kit paper that are so perfect for any type of wintery page. I did a bit of stenciling, more paper tearing and layering. I added in the Blue Fern Studios Shabby Bricks as a layer and left them bare.


To complete my layout I have used the Main Kit, the Flower Add-on and the Embellishment Add-on. 
From my stash I've used: Stencil, molding paste, seam binding and jute. 


"Christmas Thoughts"

This was actually the first layout I made using the December "Holiday Magic" Kit.  I am a big angel collector and have tons of angels! One year I decided to put about a dozen of my Christmas  angels on my tree. This photo is of a fave!  My layout is based on a sketch by friend Nanne' Harry for Stuck on U Sketches


I loved adding the Heidi Swapp Color Shine on this page. It really sparkles! 

To complete my layout I have used the Main Kit, the Flower Add-on and the Embellishment Add-on. 
From my stash I've used:Stencil, molding paste, Gesso, stamp, cheesecloth and gold paper doilies.  


"December Memories"

This is a photo of my Daddy and I taken on Christmas Day many years ago. It must have been a prosperous year because I sure got lots of gifts .. one of them being my first pair of skates.  Mom and Dad took me out on the sidewalk for a few quick lessons. I can still remember that first big fall like it was yesterday! Ouch!  =)


This page was based on our December Sketch by Michele Singh. We hope you will join in the challenge! 

To complete my layout I have used the Main Kit, the Flower Add-on and the Embellishment Add-on. 
From my stash I've used: Stencil, molding paste, ink, Gesso and a crochet doily. 


"Christmas Joy"

Once I finally committed to using this silly little photo, I let loose and had some good 'ole Christmas fun with this kit! I layered up a storm with papers, flowers, resins and chipboard from the C'est Magnifique December Kit and add-ons. I loved the mix of different shades of green (especially the lime)  that contrasted with the red and the stark white surrounded by that awesome dark brown frame of the Kaisercraft Die Cut paper from the kit. Nothing like playing with traditional Christmas colors to get you in the Spirit! I even let Santa join in the fun! 


A last look at some of those amazing colors!
