April Bits and Pieces Contest

We always love the 5th of month because that's when we open our "Bits & Pieces" contest.  You have a chance to win what Leslie, the owner of C'est Magnifique, has left after creating with the April kit. 



 We are giving our blog readers a chance to win everything in the above photo.  We will ship this to you free of charge, anywhere in the world!  Please note that you will receive partial pieces of paper, embellishments and flowers.  It's Leslie's way of passing along her bits and pieces.

All you have to do is write your full name using the Inlinkz button below.  You have until midnight April 12th to add your link.  Good luck!  We will announce the winner, by a random draw, on April 13th.

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!

Check back tomorrow when we will tell you all about our Bits & Pieces Contest where you will have a chance to win the bits & pieces from Leslie's kit. 

My Private Happiness by The Scrap Cake

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!

March Sketch Challenge

We are so excited with the response we received for our March sketch challenge.  Each and every layout was special in its own way.

We would like to start by announcing the winner of the $10 gift certificate to the C'est Magnifique store.

Entry #12 belongs to Pat Bishop!  Congratulations Pat, and have fun shopping in the store.  Leslie will be contacting you with the information to redeem your gift certificate.  Here's Pat's layout:

Okay, that was the easy part.  Next we had to choose 5 layouts to feature this month, and let me tell you, we wanted to feature them all.  It's very difficult to choose from the amazing layouts that were entered in this challenge, but here they are.  They are listed in the order they were uploaded to the challenge.  Congratulations to each of you!

April Sketch Challenge

A new month means a new sketch here at C'est Magnifique.  Here's the sketch design team member, Nadia Cannizo,  has designed for us to use.

You do not need to be a member of C'est Magnifique to participate in our sketch challenge.  It is open to anyone!  You are welcome to use any supplies you have, but if you are the winner and it is obvious that you used any one of our kits - the prize will be DOUBLED!!!  

The winner of the challenge, selected by a random draw, will win a $10 gift certificate (or $20, as mentioned above if you use a kit) from C'est Magnifique which you can use to shop in our store. 

As an added bonus, Want2Scrap has generously donated this prize package for the challenge.  We carry several different styles of their chipboard albums in our store.

From the entries for this challenge, we will select a few layouts to "feature".  One of the featured layouts will receive this prize package from Want2Scrap.

Take a look at how our design team used this month's sketch and the April kit.

We Have 2 April Kits Remaining

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

Our April Kit Reveal

No fooling, it's that time of month........here's a look at our April kit "A Bouquet of Happiness".  This kit features paper from The Scrap Cake, a Polish company.  We have had their paper in past kits and it has always been very popular.  You will also find some beautiful and unique embellishments this month.  We are busy getting the kits shipped right now.  If we have kits remaining, we will let you know here!  If you're interested in purchasing only the paper, you will find it in our store HERE.

Take a look at layouts from our amazing design team,
