We are pleased to welcome Zaneta Glowa (Zanka) to C'est Magnifique Kits as our April Guest Designer. You will absolutely love her amazing style, and the magic she has performed with our April Kit, A Touch of Refinement. I will let Zanka tell you a little more about herself and show you her layouts.
My name is Zaneta Glowa aka Zanka. I
have lived in Sweden since 2003, but I’m actually Polish. I grew up in
the south of Poland and I lived in Krakow for many years before moving
over the Baltic Sea and settling here in Sweden for good. My
adventure with scrapbooking started in 2010. It didn't take long before
it became my big passion and a main consumer of my spare time. I
guess I'm a rather typical woman of 'our times', navigating through a
combination of family life and a full-time job with a certain amount of
commuting... so 'spare time' is something of a luxury
product ;) Therefore, I really appreciate these moments, only for myself
and my passion in the late evenings when the rest of my family is
asleep or busy with something else. You are warmly welcome to visit my blog at www.mysweedplace.blogspot.com. Currently I'm a member of few fantastic Design Teams -Once Upon a Sketch OUAS, Scrap Friends, and Scrap Around the World.
With Love
For
my first layout I wanted to play with a combo of purple, white wash and
copper accents. I layered paper pieces and tags, gently brushed them
randomly with gesso. I
added a chipboard frame to bring forward our photo and I added an
embellishment cluster to create a compositional triangle of flowers. I used items from Main kit and MMM kit. From my stash: Sizzix oval frame die, gesso, copper paint and few brads.
Promenade
In
the kit I found some perfect items for a pastel, summer page with a
modern, mixed media look.
I framed a photo of my daughter taken during
our promenade by the ocean.
I
loved the items in the MMM kit, especially the stencil, which I used
here diagonally.
Moonshadow mist is perfect to add the dark stain
circles and splashes.
I used items from Main kit, Embellishment Add on and MMM kit.
From my stash:gesso, Prima stamp, archival ink
La vie
Back
to the vintage style, a layout featuring myself. I edited the photo in
the photo editor
to create this vintage sepia look. My inspiration comes entirely from the paper pattern.
I have added some stamping and flourish masking in the background.
I filled up the flower cluster with some leaves and flourishes,
cut out with various dies and the papers from the main kit.

From my stash: gesso, flourish stencil, stamp, paper doily.
With You
I
kept this layout simple, playing with the straight lines, layers and a
mix of geometric shapes.
The tags are cut out from one of the Riddersholm
papers and make a nice variation in the layering.

From my stash: circle stencil and modelling paste
You Make Me Happy
I
picked a photo of me and my daughter which was taken in an old castle
and I tried to keep the whole page in a truly elegant, feminine style.

As one of the layers, I used the packaging from MME stickers which were in the
embellishment add on. The papers in the main kit have so many variations
and nuances of patters and colours, which is perfect to make tags
and arrange them in the layers.I used items from Main kit, Embellishment Add
