My first Layout is a real fun page. The photos show my daughter with two of her friends, dressed up for carnival. You can see how much fun they had.
From my stash: Gelatos, black Multimarker, gem crowns, gems, stamps and inks, red hearts and a snippet of ribbon
For the second layout I worked with the April sketch. I used again a photo of my pretty daughter Linda. I worked with materials from the April Main Kit and all the Add-Ons and I made a video from start to finish - hope, you enjoy!
from my stash: gesso, home made modeling paste, mists, stamps and ink, pearl pens
For my next layout I experimented a bit with photo sizes - well, it is a bit different and I'm not sure, if I like it or not.
from my stash: corrugated cardstock, gesso, mists, stamps and ink, cheese cloth, stencil and modeling paste, punch
For my last layout I took a photo of myself. Most of the time I don't like pictures of me, but this one is O.K. I took this selfie when I stayed at the North Sea a few weeks ago on a walk on the beach. I made a video tutorial for this layout too - I hope, you enjoy!
from my stash: gel medium, gesso, mists, stamps and ink, washi tape, cardstock sand and pink, gems
Here are some close ups:
Here's the video:
I hope I have inspired you today! I have really
enjoyed playing with this kit! If you are interested in
the April Kit or Add-Ons a limited amount of kits are available for
purchase from the C'est Magnifique Store while supplies last!
Hi all, Evelyn here again today sharing one more March Kit project. Do you ever use postcards for your scrapbooking pages? There are many wonderful postcards you can find, and I thought, I should make a page with one of them. At the moment I'm for health at the North Sea and I wanted to make a page for myself to remember the good time I'm spending here. I used again the Main Kit - Haute Couture, the Flower Add-On, the Embellishment Add-On and the Magnifique Mixed Media Kit.
from my stash: stamp, amber nuggets, fridge magnet, starfish
For my flower cluster I bought a dried starfish, a fridge magnet with a sea seal (a few days
ago one was on the beach here!) and some little amber nuggets, which are found here at the North Sea. The natural colored flowers are perfect for this page!
I wanted to imitate the sea grass that grows in the dunes so I cut the Little Yellow Bicycle Decorative Edge Cardstock into pieces and glued it on the background.
Thank you for dropping by today! I hope you feel a little bit inspired - and don´t forget to come back and see, what the girls from our fabulous design team made with the March Kit!
Hi all, Evelyn here today sharing my March Kit projects. This kit is absolutely romantic and reminds me of the past, so my projects are in the shabby chic and vintage style. I used the Main Kit, Flower Add-On, Embellishment Add-On and Magnifique Mixed Media Kit on each of the projects that I am sharing today.
For the first layout I used an old photo of my mother back from the early 60s.
from my stash: stencil and Archival Ink Potting soil, Distress ink seedless preserves
I matted the photo with the cork from the Main Kit and the pretty crochet doily, cut in the half. I love the acetate clock faces! At last I added some Prima Say It In Crystals Gems for a little bling.
The wood letters I first coated with Gesso and then colored with mist. I used a stencil with the Antique Mocha paint included in the Mixed Media Kit to add a print to the background. The stamp is from the Mixed Media Kit too.
The pretty tulle flower I colored with Lindy's Stamp Gang mist.
My second project is a little "quick-and-easy" card. The papers in the Main Kit are so gorgeous and the flowers and leaves from the Flower Add-On are so very nice, so you don´t need much more - only add a little picture, a word sticker and some interest on the background - done!
from my stash: Gesso, picture from LaBlanche
My next layout I wanted to make romantic. The lace patterned paper from the Main Kit is perfect for the little vintage picture.
from my stash: white cardstock, modeling paste, pearl pen, little white flowers, Embossing powder white, Lindy´s Stamp Gang mists, Distress ink worn lipstick, stickles
The Kaisercraft Aubergine Paper Blooms are so elegant! And look at the tiny clothes hanger - isn't it gorgeous?
I framed the picture with Ruby Rock-It Mother Nature Trimmings. For the background matting I cut one of the papers in pieces, distressed and inked it.
I enjoyed to work with this kit very much. You can see one more layout on the first of March for the March Sketch Challenge reveal.
Thanks for stopping by today and please don't forget to check back to see what else the team has to share with you!
Hi all, Evelyn here, it's my turn to share my projects, made with the February Main Kit and the Mixed Media Kit. I'm totally in love with this kit! Such beautiful papers, embellishments and other goodies, I had so much fun with it!
My first page is worked after the pretty February Sketch and shows my parents on their golden marriage anniversary some years ago.
from my stash: Gesso, modeling paste, embossing powder, mists and die cut flowers
For my second page I used some photos of my daughter. She loves to play with nail polish and made some funny experiments with it. I've made a start to finish video for this layout. I hope you enjoy!
from my stash: black cardstock, modeling paste, die cut flowers and leaves and mists
The Kaisercraft Periwinkle Alpha Sticker Sheet fits perfect with the paper and I love the Kaisercraft Boutique Clear Stamp! It's so versatile to use.
My next page shows my daughter some years ago, dressed as a witch for carnival . I love this photo of her. The acetate shapes from Kaisercraft out of the Mixed Media Kit in the background are really made for this page. :)
from my stash: Gesso, flowers and mists
For the background I used the Prima Black Sand Art Extravagance Texture Paste and on top of it the
Prima Art Ingredients Glass Beads. It looks so cool!
I also used the stamps from the Main Kit (did I tell you that I love it? :) ) and the stamps from the Mixed Media Kit, some mists from my stash, and the Twinkling H2Os Rose Gold Shimmering Watercolor. Unfortunately, the gorgeous shimmer can't be seen on the photos.
The big flower I made from the Scallop Trim, the metal embellishments are from the Mixed Media Kit. The roses are from my stash.
The chipboard stickers from the Main kit are very unusual, I love them!
For the last layout I went to the vintage style. I decided to make a sumptuous decoration with leaves and flowers made of die-cut paper from the Main Kit. The pearl breads look so elegant!
from my stash: lace, threat, Gesso, mists, old book pages, modeling paste
The resin flowers are in the Main Kit.
The water tap you can find in the Mixed Media kit.
The Oval Cameo from FabScraps is perfect for the vintage style!

We would like to welcome Evelyn Walter as our newest member of the design team! Here is more about Evelyn in her own words:
My name is Evelyn Walter and I am so very happy to be joining the C'est Magnifique Kits Design Team. I live in a small village in Bavaria, Germany, about 45 minutes from the Bavarian capital Munich, well known all over the world for it's Oktoberfest. I am a single mum to two children, a son aged 21, who doesn't live at home anymore and a teenage daughter of 15.
For my profession I am a teacher for home economics and handwork. I teach children cooking and several techniques from paper crafting, crocheting, knitting, woodwork and more. In my spare time I love to craft for my own desires. I've been creative since I was a child with changing preferences, from pottering to sewing.
I discovered scrapbooking about one and a half years ago by browsing the web and tried my first page - and what shall I say: I immediately fell in love with it! Since then I try several techniques, particularly mixed media with all its possibilities is a favourite of me. I also like to make cards, alter items, make canvases and of course layouts. I love the steampunk style as much as flower and vintage style, it depends on my mood and the picture.
I´m looking forward to the time at C'est Magnifique, a big adventure for me, because it is my first time being a member of a Design Team. I hope for your support and do my very best to give you some inspiration!
I really enjoyed working with the beautiful January Edge of the Brook Kit and all the fabulous Add-Ons, which you can find here. For my first layout I worked after the January Sketch, you can find the challenge information here. The chipboard frame looks so romantic!

I used the Main Kit, flowers from the Flower Add-On and some supplies from the Mixed Media Kit.
The frame I painted with Prima Finnabair Art Extravagance Platinum Crackle Texture Paste, from the Mixed Media Kit, the shimmer is so lovely. I used from my stash only some ink.
For my second layout I used some different papers to matt my photo. Here I wanted to go more colorful. I used the Main Kit and some items from all the pretty Add-Ons.

The pretty flowers I misted with the same colors to make them fit.
Here you can see some pieces of the Bo Bunny Noteworthy die-cuts, which you can find in the Embellishment Add-On.

My 3rd layout shows a selfie of my son and his beautiful girlfriend short before Christmas.
I used the Main Kit, flowers from the Flower Add-On and some supplies from the Mixed Media Kit.
The grid beside the photo I cut out from the Blue Fern Studios Boston Lattice Chipboard from the Embellishment Add-On. From my stash I used a punch, stencil, modeling paste, cheese cloth. stamp and ink.
The last page is with a photo, taken at the first day of the year near my home - a real winter wonderland!
I used the Manor House Creations Serenity Flower from the Mixed Media Kit and several parts from the Embellishment Add-On. The background I painted with C'est Magnifique Blue Bird Sparkle Chalk Paint, there are twinkling parts, which sparkle beautifully. I also painted with Prima Platinum Crackle Texture Paste, the cracks look like ice here. From my stash are the die-cut snowflakes and icicles, doily and the handmade "snowball."
