One more look at the September Kit (C'est Magnifique)

Good morning! Hope you're all more awake than me today, lol! I stayed up late last night working on a project and dealing with nuisance bears (mom and cub) tearing apart my garbage can/garbage. From about 10:30 PM- 11:30 PM I watched/yelled at them. Unfortunately, they weren't really all that concerned with me. So my poor husband had to clean up the mess this morning before work. And then my 2-year old was up at his usual 6:00 AM time...and I could really use more sleep.

BUT- I have some time to put together a blog post and show you the last of my projects for C'est Magnifique this month! We've revealed the entire September kit, featuring papers from Riddersholm Design (Denmark), and here's what more I have to share with you :)...

"Free Bird"

This layout was inspired by Maya Angelou's "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings". My sweet little girl is already such a free spirit, always happy, endlessly sweet. So naturally I used the "bird" elements in this kit, including the paper, bird cage, and wooden embellishment. I had a lot of fun playing with the background, adding layers of masking with texture paste topped off with embossing powder, and the Lindy's Stamp Gang mist provided in the main kit. I wanted to create something playful and fun, just like my little Aspen .

"The Heart Sees"

 I really enjoyed combining the many colors in the kit on this one, especially the rust tones. I used the mist from the embellishment add-on to darken the peach flowers a bit to better coordinate with the rest of the elements on my layout, and really love the result ...
