Guest Designer Evgenia Krapivina

Hello! It's Evgenia Krapivina here to host the blog for you today. I'm really happy to be guesting for C'est Magnifique and created a few projects using C'est Magnifique November 2015 Kit.

I made three scrapbooking layouts, cards, and a mini album of tags. I hope you feel inspired!

"Romantic" Layout

I used stamps and flowers for my projects (not from kit).

"Dream" Layout

"Serenity" Layout

 I did the background using white gesso, and blue and brown mist.

"Cherish" Card

"Romantic" Card
I love to use factory packing from scrap products. I used packing from kit flowers on my card.

"Hello Summer!"  Tag Mini Album

Thank you for joining me today! I hope you feel inspired by these projects I created using the November kit! If you have any questions, please leave a comment or send me an email. You can find my email address from my blog - here. I would also love for you to visit me there or on Facebook!

Wishing you a creative day!

Kathleen's December Kit Projects

Merry Christmas one and all!  Kathleen here sharing a few layouts I created with C'est Magnifique's "A Victorian Christmas" kit.  It is absolutely magical. I had so much playing with all of the stickers, papers, flowers, feathers and so much more!

This first layout is very dear to my heart.  This is a picture of my grandson's first time meeting Santa.

I used only the main kit.

The holly for the wreath was fussy cut from one of the papers as well as the bells.  

The doily is from my stash.

Next is a picture of my daughter taken for her high school graduation.

Only the main kit was used.

Even pictures taken in spring time work well with these lovely papers.

I only used the main kit.

I used three different stencils for the background.  

Glitter glue, cheese clothe and gold thread came from my stash.

My final layout sports my daughter at the barn.  She was a member of her college's equestrian team.

I used only the main kit.

I love to layer and this layout has a lot! lol

Stash items: gold thread, doily, cheese clothe

Thank you for stopping by to take a peek at this month's kit.  Don't delay this month kit is sure to fly off the shelves.  Stop by the C'est Magnifique store for this kit and so much more!

Merry Christmas

Kathy Bradley's December Layouts and Projects

Hello Everyone!! Kathy Bradley here with you today and I am sharing my layouts and projects I created using the most gorgeous C'est Magnifique December kits and add-ons.


My first project was using the vinyl record albums contained in the December Mixed Media Kit, as well as the Main Kit,  Embellishment Add-On and Flower Add-on.  It was fun to alter the vinyl record album - gosh, I remember having tons of albums and 45s in my room as a teenager, and a record player that was hardly ever turned off - unless the radio was on!

Items from my stash included Beacon's Fabri Tac and Beige Twine

My second project was a scrapbook layout using the C'est Magnifique December Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit and Flower Add-On, as well as the Embellishment Add-On!  The paint splatters came from the wonderful red, green and gold paints included in the Mixed Media kit - love splatters!

From my personal stash, I used Fabri-Tac and hot glue gun.

My third December project is another scrapbook layout - again I used the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Embellishment Add-On and Flower Add-On.  I did a little fussy cutting of tags from the gorgeous paper by Astrid Mclean.

From my personal stash I used Beacon's Fabri Tac.

On my fourth page I did a bit of stenciling and mixed the red paint from the Mixed Media Kit with some Finnabair Light Paste.  I used items from the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Flower Add-On and Embellishment Add-on.  I again did some fussy cutting of tags from the paper - and I added the beautiful Petaloo red feathers from the Main Kit - I love Petaloo's feathers!

My personal stash items include Prima Victorian Christmas Stencil 1, Finnabair Light Paste and Beacon's Fabri Tac and glue gun.

For my fifth scrapbook layout, I used the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Flower Add-On and Embellishment Add-On.  I  used Spellbinder's Circle Dies to create my background (along with splatters).  I think everyone loves to do their splatters - it releases their inner child!!!  

Items from personal stash include Beacon's Fabri Tac and hot glue gun.

This is my last layout from the December kits - but there is 1 more project after this.  I fussy cut tags from the gorgeous papers designed by Astrid Mclean.  I used the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Flower Add-On and Embellishment Add-On.  Did I mention how gorgeous all of the flowers are this month?!

Items from personal stash include Beacon's Fabri-Tac and hot glue gun.

I did a quick Christmas card  using the beautiful paper in the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Flower Add-On and Embellishment Add-On.  I fussy cut the little angel - and couldn't resist adding the beautiful red Petaloo feathers for her wings.

Personal stash items include Beacon's Fabri Tac and hot glue gun.

I hope you can find a little inspiration from my projects and be sure to check out the C'est Magnifique gorgeous kits and add-ons - you will want them all!  

Thanks for taking a peek.

We would love to see YOU use our sketch as inspiration for a layout. We have very few rules for our Sketch Challenge. As a matter of fact, we have just one rule, we want your layout to resemble the sketch. Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch, but we do want to look at your layout and be able to see that you used the sketch. Other than that, you are free to use anything you have in your personal stash, and we welcome all styles of scrapbooking.

We will award two prizes for this sketch challenge. The first prize will be a collection of paper, flowers, chipboard, and embellishments selected by C'est Magnfique's owner Deonna. The winner of the prize package will also be able to shop in the C'est Magnifique Store, and have their purchases sent with the prize package, so that means you won't have to pay for shipping! Our second prize, a $10 gift certificate to the C'est Magnifique Store, will be awarded randomly to one of our participants who obviously uses one of our kits to create their Sketch Challenge layout. 

We will also choose 5 (or maybe more) layouts to feature on our blog!  

You have the entire month of October to submit your layout.

What do you have to do to enter our sketch challenge?

1. You must be a follower of our blog. It's easy to become follower - see the left sidebar.

2. Create a layout using the sketch, and add it to our blog using the Inlinkz tool below. Please link to the blog post where you have uploaded your layout (not your general blog address). If you do not have a blog, you may link to an online gallery.

  The deadline for entering the sketch challenge is midnight, December 31, 2015 (US time).

Have fun with the sketch. We can't wait to see how you use it!
