"La vie est un poème" layout

Hi there!

As we´re taking a peek at upcoming C´est Magnifique May kit I have another sample layout to share with you today 

La vie est un poème

 

 I started creating this layout by adding a touch of red to its background by simply spraying some glimmer mists over a Prima mask to it. I love how this kit has wonderful flowers, so I couldn´t resist adding a lot of cutouts in a design that could give me a beautiful movement like the wind touching my hair in this nostalgic picture. A few layers more, the additon of some gorgeous flowers and it was done!

Below you can see more details:

It´s the moments that take your breath away", I created this layout to portray one of those moments when you realize life is beautiful and worths to be living. I didn´t need more than the pack of KaiserCraft´s Marigold Diecut Cardstock Pieces and a textured background to put this layout together.

CM Bits & Pieces April Giveaway

Hi there!

Popping in quickly today just to let you know that C `est Magnifique kit club is giving away the Bits & Pieces from Leslie´s April kit, Victorian Roses. Every month, Leslie (the owner) does a special giveaway called the "Bits and Pieces" giveaway. Being a busy business owner, she often doesn't get much of a chance to create with the kit herself- usually pulling off one or two layouts. And then she gives away what is remaining of her kit to one special randomly-drawn winner! And this month- lucky for you- she didn't get to play that much- which means more for you to win! Here´s what you can get:

CM April kit features beautiful paper from Pion Designs Alma's Sewing Room collection. 

Check out the details here

And just for you to see how you can use some bits and pieces from this kit to create a scrapbook layout I put together a sample:

Family Style

This layout works with a grid. Creating in layers means to recreate from the junction, from the overlapping of papers and elements, which acquire volume, reformulating patterns and creating something new and that´s exactly what I´ve done here with little squares of papers.
