Challenge Update x 2

We had SO much going on last week that we weren't able to fit in our challenge update.  We hope you liked seeing all the inspiration from both our design team, and the design team from The Scrap Cake.  Tomorrow we will be showing you even more layouts using our April kit.

But today is a double challenge update.   Last week we announced the winner of our "Packaging Challenge".   Congratulations to Connie, also known as Cherished on our message boards!  Connie has won an RAK from C'est Magnifique.  Here is Connie's layout titled "Picture Perfect".

Scrap About a Place Challenge due April 15th

For this challenge we would like for you to create a layout about a place. It's fine if there are people in the photo, but the theme of the layout must be the 'place'. So let us see a title and journaling that let us know a little about the 'place'. The 'place' you choose is totally up to you. It could be a vacation photo or something totally different.... such as the grocery store. Just make the 'place' in your photo the star of the layout. Everything else is up to you!


Here are the details:

You may upload 1 layout for this challenge

Please upload your layout to the "Scrap About a Place Challenge" folder in the gallery. Only those layouts uploaded to this folder in the gallery will be considered for the random draw.

Please submit only newly created layouts for this challenge

The challenge will end at midnight (US EDT) on Sunday, April 15.

The winner, chosen by a random draw, will receive an RAK from C'est Magnifique

We look forward to you showing us your layout about a place.

Prima Collections and La Blanche Stamps

We have some beautiful lines of Prima paper in the C'est Magnifique store, and today we thought we'd feature some layouts from design team member, Camilla Ekman. 

In this beautiful layout, Camilla used the Sun Kiss collection 

with a combination of blues and sunny yellows. 

The Sun Kiss paper can be found HERE in our store.  

You will also find some Sun Kiss vines in the Prima Section.

Camilla has also created both a card and a small bag using the Meadow Lark collection 

from Prima.  Take a look at these beautiful projects below.

 

Aren't these stunning?  The Meadowlark Collection is available HERE in our store.   We also carry the coordinating alphabet stickers and crystal flourish in our Prima Section. 

Just today Leslie put some brand new La Blanche stamps in the store.  

If you haven't seen these before, you've got to go see them!  Here's a little peek:

All of us at C'est Magnifique wish all of you a Happy Easter.

The Scrap Cake Design Team

Today we'd like to show you more layouts created by the talented designers from The Scrap Cake, using our April kit.  We have been in awe of the way these designers used our kit.  We begin with Karola Witczak using her beautiful line of paper, "My Private Happiness"

And now more layouts from their design team, including some close-ups
of the beautiful embellishments and flowers in our April kit.

We have nothing but great things to say about the layouts we've seen from these ladies!

We are so fortunate to have the design team from The Scrap Cake join us this month as our guest designers.   Not only did we feature the beautiful "My Private Happiness" paper in our April kit, we also had the creator of the line, Karola Witczak, designing with our kit! 

Here's a look at what Karola and some other members of the design team created using our April kit:

Thanks ladies for sharing your talent with us.  We have more amazing layouts from The Scrap Cake design team to share with you tomorrow!

We Have 2 April Kits Remaining

We hope you saw our April Kit reveal yesterday. If not, you can see it here. At this time, we have only 2 kits remaining. We did have to substitute a different alphabet , but everything else is the same. These 2 kits are available in our store. If you want one, please hurry - they won't last long.

Later today we will be posting our April sketch challenge, with another great sketch by Nadia Cannizzo.  See you then!
