A New Challenge

Thanks so much to JJ Sobey for suggesting this week's challenge! The idea behind this challenge is to use 5 of one type of thing, 4 of another, etc. Be sure to let us know what you used for each of these numbers.

5 letters in your title wouldn't count, but 5 different types of letter stickers would.........4 people in your photo wouldn't count, but using 4 photos would.........3 colors in your patterned paper wouldn't count, but using 3 different patterned papers would.........get it?

We will continue to post a challenge each week, but you will now have 2 weeks to complete each challenge! You will have until midnight EST (New York City time zone) Sunday, Sept. 18th to complete your project. Please upload it to the September "5,4,3,2,1" folder in our Gallery and be sure to also post it in our Forum in THIS post, so we can all see it. The winner, chosen by the design team, will be announced here and on the Blog and will receive a RAK from C'est Magnifique!

Guest Designers

I have to say that this was one TOUGH decision! We received so many submissions and because they were all spectacular, it was very hard to narrow it down! And because I just couldn't pick only one person, I did decide to fill the guest spots for the next three months. So...here they are...

October
Lisa Duke
JJ Sobey

November
Sarah Hill
Malin Dahlström

December
Kay Fatula
Raissa Costa

More information on our guest designers will be available during the month they are active with C'est Magnifique.

Congratulations, girls!!!!

I do want to quickly thank everyone for applying! If you didn't snag a spot this time, please apply again! We will never duplicate anyone and I do want to reiterate that this really was a very difficult decision.

Introducing...Secret Garden

Finally! I can finally unveil our beautiful and gorgeous first kit! What fun we have all had playing with these stunning papers direct from Poland and all of the wonderfully coordinated embellishments as well. Honestly, these papers are truly even more fantastic in real life!!

So anyway...enough rambling, right? Without further ado...here is our Sept 2011 kit...

Secret Garden

And a few close ups:

You can now purchase any additional kits in the C'est Magnifique Kits Store. You can also purchase any of our add-ons, which also have multiple photos in the store.

I just want to send out a big THANK YOU to all of the wonderful people that took a chance on this first kit and my design ability sight unseen! It truly means a lot to me that y'all took such a leap of faith! Once again, THANK YOU!!

Reminder and More Peeks

This is just a reminder that all Guest DT submissions are due today. We have had MANY beautiful submissions already and it's going to be a very hard decision for us, but we still hope that everyone applies. Best of luck to all!

Here are a few more DT peeks as well! Are these girls rockin' this kit or what?!:

We have a winner!

We are pleased to announce the winner of our very first weekly challenge, "Out with the Old". All the entries were amazing, but the RAK goes to Scrapaholic.for.life for her beautiful "We {heart} Autumn" layout using Basic Grey's Indian Summer paper. You can see her layout in our Gallery.

Be sure to check here each Sunday for a new challenge!
