It's C'est Magnifique Reveal Day!!

Finally it is Reveal Day at C'est Magnifique Kit Club! Time to reveal the entire Kit "Falling Leaves"  featuring Maja Designs Walking in the Forest collection. We have already shared the paper and add-ons but today is all about the Main Kit contents. 

But before I get to that I'm sharing a fairly clean and simple page featuring a photo of granddaughter MacKayla. I did a few pull-aways and used the stencil from last month's kit.  Otherwise, this is a pretty simple layout for me. I did love using the BFS Pretty Weeds as "leaves." =) And isn't that Maya Road Vintage Frame just to die for? 

"MacKayla, Spring 2013"

Sneak Layout #2 for C'est Magnifique Kit Club

Hello! Happy Monday! 

I am back with my 2nd sneak of the C'est Magnifique November kit. 

I've scrapped a sweet photo of 2 of my younger grandkids at play. Lots of paper tearing and layering made a warm and inviting page.  I loved painting my Blue Fern Pretty Weeds chippys and adding some liquid glass beads.

My first sneak layout using the C'est Magnifique November Kit!

Happy Friday, scrappers! I am "up" on the C'est Magnifique blog today sharing a few sneak peek layouts using the awesome November Kit.  This kit features Maja Designs "Walking in the Forest " collection along with lots of yummy Prima and Petaloo, not to mention lots of other great embellies! 

For my first example, I've used a photo of my youngest daughter and her husband. I used my favorite distressing technique and used a flame to burn away some of the edges.  I also used a new Prima stencil from my stash and some molding paste. 

"Wonderful Bliss"

To create my layout I've used the Main kit as well as the Flower Add-on and Embellishment Add-on.

A last look at the October kit with Sandi Clarkson

I am up on the C'est Magnfique blog today and this is what I shared  ... 

Hello, scrappers! Sandi Clarkson here with you today to share a last look at my projects created from the October Kit "Summer's Last Dance." 

First up I've used some of the heavenly 7 Dots Studios 9th Wave papers and paired them with flowers and embellishments from the kit and add-ons. I loved using the She Art stencil from the kit along with the Shimmerz Texturez paste .. and just had to use the Christy Tomlinson She Art packaging as well. Loved that pop of red. The photo is of my youngest dd and her hubby. 

I've used the Main Kit, the Flower Add-on and the Embellishment Add-on. 

From my stash I've used some twine, a Cheery Lynn butterfly die, a MS punch and a few miscellaneous pearls. 

I decided it was time for a boy page and these 9th Wave papers and Blue Fern Marrakesh chipboard (which I left naked) were so perfect for doing one! My page is based on a sketch by Lydell Quinn. 

I've used the Main Kit, the Flower Add-on and the Embellishment Add-on. 

From my stash I've used a stencil and some Dylusions mist, cheesecloth and a MS butterfly punch. 

Next I decided to do a mixed media canvas. This one is 11x14. I had such fun creating my background with my Damask stencil and lots of Lindy's Stamp Gang mists! I loved altering the kit and add-on contents to suit my needs. Don't you love that photo of dgd Marianne working on a crafty project with her 3 headbands and a scarf? 

I've used the Main Kit, the Flower Add-on and the Embellishment Add-on. 

From my stash I've used a brooch from my jewelry box, mists,  stencil, molding paste, cheesecloth, pearls and some drywall mesh. 

        

Here is my take on the October sketch by Michele Singh.  Loved working with these Tilda papers! 

I've used the Main Kit, the Flower Add-on and the Embellishment Add-on. 

From my stash I've used pearls, paper doilies, chalk Fink, Gelatos and my Martha Stewart Wild Flowers and Floral Vine punches. 

Lastly, I decided to combine the 7 Dots with the Tilda papers to highlight a lovely bridal photo of my dgd and her husband. It's hard to see (because I covered much of it) but I did get a little messy with the Shimmerz Vibe and cute little Prima stamp. The flowers in October's kit were so lovely and clustered so well regardless of the color combination you wanted to mix. 

I've used the Main Kit, the Flower Add-on and the Embellishment Add-on. 

From my stash I've used another Cheery Lynn butterfly die, a MS punch, My Cricut Expression, black card stock and a few miscellaneous pearls. 

Thanks for coming by today! It is nearing mid-month and we will soon be sharing some sneaks of the gorgeous November kit!  Until then ... happy scrapping!

I'm back today with some close-ups of a couple of my C'est Magnifique Reveal pages.  This first one is my fave that I created from the kit. 

I just HAD to use the She Art packaging from the stencil included in the kit. Loved that pop of red. 

Of course, I always love using my Cheery Lynn butterfly dies from my own stash. 

Just another angle. 

Had fun making this sweet banner. The twine is from my stash. 

Just a close-up of the title.

Here I have mixed the Tilda papers with the 7 Dots 9th Wave papers. 

I loved adding in the Petaloo blooms with the Manor House vine. I also tucked in some of the Pink Paislee Hope Chest butterflies.  I've added a few pearls from my stash. Gotta add pearls to everything! =) 

Side view. 

Another. 

A Cheery Lynn butterfly.

Lastly my subtitle and a close-up of the gorgeous teal ribbon from the kit, You can also see a bit of the mixed media in the background although most of it got covered. 

Thanks for coming by again today. I'll be back in a couple of days! Meanwhile I am creating with the luscious November kit!
