Erin Reed's March Kit Inspiration Projects

The March kit is amazing.  It is just jam packed to the gills with so many lovely embellishments!!  I can't decided what is my favorite!!  I made a little unboxing video of all the amazing goodies in this kit.  Enjoy!!

My first project is a couple of cards.  They are simple and easy, super quick to make for those days you need a card quick!  I just layered some of the PL card on top of layers of cream cardstock and patterned paper, misted it a bit with the mist in the kit, added in a misted and inked chipboard title, and a few little pearls.  That is it!!

The picture is of my husband and I at the funeral home the day before the funeral.  We chose to have her body embalmed, but just for us to view.  We felt it would be odd for our friends and family to see a dead baby, and I still feel a bit weird letting people see the pictures of here like this, I would rather everyone see her alive and happy.  When we went to view her that day a friend came with the program Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep to take pictures of our last moments with our daughter.  I have not looked at these pictures since the day of the funeral when she gave them to me.  They went on a shelf and I really just have not had the strength to see them again and bring up all the memories of that painful day.  Time has gone by, and my son who is now 10 (he was 3 when she passed) is still asking tons of questions about what happened to her and asked to see the pictures.  There was a lot of crying on both of our parts while viewing the pictures, and I decided it was time to do something with them.

My emotions are fully obvious in the picture and tried to convey that feeling of pain, anguish, love, frustration, hurt, numbness, and just anger into my layout.  I used a ton of paper tearing, layers of gesso, other mediums, stencils, splatters, misting, and really just getting mad at my layout beating it all to hell as a poured my heart into the piece.

The next project is a little mixed media bookmark I made.

Here is a complete video tutorial on how to make this super cool bookmark!!

Thanks for stopped by!!

This February kit is so amazing and full of such amazing goodies, perfect for those girly pages, or or Valentine's Day!!  I only used the main kit for my projects.  I did add some pink paint, white paint, white gesso, black ink, Mod Podge, kraft cardstock, black cardstock, black pen, pink pen, pink mist, a damask stencil, and a pink headband from my stash to complete the looks of the projects.

I started off making a cute little headband for my daughter.  She helped me open the box when it got delivered and she saw the 2 large purple/pink flowers and held it up in her hair and told me look pretty!  Cannot deny her that the flowers were just perfect for a headband, so why not!!

Here is a little video tutorial so you can see how I made this cute little floral headband!!

I then saw how many wonderful PL cut outs papers there were in the kit, and since I am not much of a PL scrapper I think of cards!!

Now I wanted to make some layouts, and there were so many pretty things to make with this awesome kit!!  But what picture....wait I just took some amazing pictures of my daughter in her new headband, perfect!!!  I played with the colors a bit in Photoshop and made this beautiful layout.

I had taken some picture of my daughter playing int he leaves in my backyard last month, and they were a perfect fit for the colors in this kit.  A layout match made in kit heaven!!

Thank you for looking at the projects I made using the amazing February Kit from C'est Magnifique.  Keep checking out the blog all month for more wonderful inspiration for the team.

Enjoy!!

Up first is my first layout. I loved using the different elements from the main kit.

You can see here I used some of the drywall tape from the Mixed Media Kit and I love the wood journaling card from the Embellishment Kit.

For my second layout I created is a beautiful picture of my daughter when she was a baby. 

I really love the flower and leaves I used on this layout.  This flower came from the Flower Add-On.

I created a video on how I made this layout. Check it out HERE!

My third layout was just absolute fun. 

I used the cardboard sheet with a circle punch and used a sticker from the alpha sheet that was included in the kit. 

I had cut out this design that was stitched in from a piece of cloth that was included in the kit with some ribbon and tucked it behind my photo to add a great frame.

For my last creation I made a set of cards. 

I layered papers and use the cardboard texture to somewhat create a layer on the card. 

I sprayed the flowers from the main kit with spray from my stash to give them a whole new look. I added the word from a die cut in my collection and some plain black cardstock from my stash as well. 

For the second I tossed in one of the wood hearts that was covered in gesso and given a spray of mist from my stash. I also tucked in some of the string from the kit.  Again I used the cardboard with a sticker from the alpha sticker sheet and top the flower and tucked in some leaves too. 

I hope you found some inspiration from my creations I shared today! Make sure you keep checking back to see what the rest of the team has created!
