Inspiration from The Scrap Cake Designers

April is a great month for us - we have both the C'est Magnifique design team AND some of the fantastic designers from The Scrap Cake using our kit.  Today we feature the last of the layouts from the gals at The Scrap Cake, using the "My Private Happiness" line created by KarolaWitczak

 

Thanks to all of you from The Scrap Cake who worked with our kit this month.  

Your layouts have all been amazing!

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.

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.

We are back today with more layouts from both the C'est Magnifique Design Team, as well as some of the Design Team from The Scrap Cake.  Since we're using their paper this month,  they are using our kit!

Let's begin by taking a look at some of the layouts created by 

the amazing designers from The Scrap Cake, beginning with Larissa Albernaz:

Now it's time for some layouts from the C'est Magnifique Design Team:

"Lady" by Camilla Ekman

 The picture is of my youngest niece - such a little lady. I have used the main kit together with the flower add-on. Since there are so many colours in both papers and flowers I have used a b/w photo.

"Grin" by Erin Blegen

 The adorable baby girl in this photo is my daughter Aspen. Her smile is just BEYOND cute!! I wanted to create a really sweet and playful girly layout. I love this pretty heart-patterned paper, but is is a little busy. So I decided to tear out the center and place one of the 6x12 sheets behind it to create a base for my photos. The banner has a few layers to it, which I love the look of. I simply took some scraps and created two paper layers, topped with some remnants from the beautiful white lace included in the main kit. Finally, I hole punched the tops and threaded through the white & yellow twine, followed by a variety of little flowers, some tinted with pink ink. Behind my photos I stuck in strips of various papers, some decorated with punches, some distressed, all of them inked. And for the final touches, I threw around a mixture of white and pink paint before adding a handful of mini hearts punched from more scraps and popped-up with mini foam adhesive.

From the Flower Add-On:
All of the banner flowers

From the Embellishment Add-On:
DA Wooden Dress Form
AC Thickers (painted white and pink)

From My Stash:
