C'est Magnifique October Kit Reveal!!

**For my September giveaway, please go HERE**

Good afternoon!! I actually fit in a bit of personal scrappy time today~ but of course didn't get finished in time to be able to take a picture so I should be able to share that with you tomorrow :). So today I wanted to make sure I got on here and post the October kit reveal for C'est Magnifique!! I created five layouts with this kit (one of which you've already seen). Here are three more of them!:

"Wish"

I really love the range of colors this kit provides. As my oldest son gets older, I like to stick with more masculine shades for his layouts, and the blues in this kit are perfect for a page about him! There are also some great fussy cutting opportunities with these papers, which I've done here to create a border behind my photo.

"Hope"

I went all girl with this one- with just a touch of grunge! For such a happy photo, I knew I had to do something fun. So I just let loose with some misting and masking, and added plenty of texture .

"Waiting"

My little Gunner loves to go berry picking with me. In this photo he is patiently awaiting the handful of raspberries I picked for him, and as soon as they're in his hands he's shouting "berries!!"~ way too sweet. So the fabulous berry stem from Scrap FX just seemed to suit this layout, with just a hint of flowers and pops of color against my neutral background.

C'est Magnifique Kit Reveal #3!

**If you're here for my Housewarming GIVEAWAYS, please go--->HERE!! There are only 3 days left!!**

Good morning everyone :)!

As promised, I'm back today to share with you my last two projects using the beautiful July kit from C'est Magnifique!

"Sibs"

It is truly a rare thing for me to get a picture of my rowdiest child, Gunner, with his little sister. But when out visiting my mom a little while back, he decided to sit down with her in the grass. I managed to get only two shots before he got back up to go running about again, and if I hadn't had my camera on and ready, I would have missed this moment .
The July kit is nothing short of beautiful. It's perfect for delicate moments like this one; the beautiful reds and pinks, supported by rich green shades and just a hint of blue. Everything seems to just fall into place in harmony. And I love that even though I stuck to a fairly clean design, the rich patterns of the papers give my layout that more "full" look which I normally prefer.

I've used everything in the main kit on this one, except for a few things from my stash:
Texture Paste
Gesso
Twine
Prima Chalk Fluid Edger Pad "Old Rose"
Crafter's Workshop 6x6 Template
Doily

"You Make Me So Very Happy" Card

From the Embellishment Add-On:
My Mind's Eye: Be Happy Chipboard Elements
Pink Paislee: London Market: Collage Sheets

From My Stash:

If you'd like to get ahold of this kit before it's gone, there are a few left in the store here! But you'll need to act fast as they will not last long! :)

Thanks to you all for taking the time out of your day to visit me...I truly do appreciate it...

See you soon~

C'est Magnifique Full Kit Reveal!!

Good morning :). I hope you're all well! I know I am- I get to show you the full July kit reveal for C'est Magnifique! As previously mentioned, I love this kit- it's stunning. And I can guarantee you they won't last long- so if you'd like to purchase a kit for yourself, visit the July section of the store here. Of course, if you'd like to make sure you receive one of C'est Magnifique's one-of-a-kind kits every month- check out the join page here.

But before I share with you the full reveal, let's take a look at a couple more of my projects I created with this kit. I will show you a couple of them today and the rest tomorrow so as not to overwhelm!!

"Young Guns"

Having two boys, I make a lot of "boy" layouts. So even with a kit as feminine as this one, I can usually manage to find a way to create a masculine layout. This one is for my middle child, Gunner. My husband likes to call him "Guns", which is just one of many nicknames we have for him. I started playing with the blues and greens, then threw in some brown and hints of orange. I love how the colors complemented my sepia photos (which I never use!), and created an almost tropical look...

"Lil' Spring Chicken"

This is a photo of my little girl, playing in the grass at my mom's house. When picking out the papers to assemble this layout, I was trying to figure out what I was going to use to "anchor" my photo- when I saw and realized that the Pink Paislee "Collage Sheets" packaging was a perfect, coordinating fit! I just love little lightbulb moments like that! Add some stitching and a bit of trim tied at the top, and you have a beautiful, upcycled embellishment .
