C'est Magnifique Full Kit Reveal!!

Good morning :). I hope you're all well! I know I am- I get to show you the full July kit reveal for C'est Magnifique! As previously mentioned, I love this kit- it's stunning. And I can guarantee you they won't last long- so if you'd like to purchase a kit for yourself, visit the July section of the store here. Of course, if you'd like to make sure you receive one of C'est Magnifique's one-of-a-kind kits every month- check out the join page here.

But before I share with you the full reveal, let's take a look at a couple more of my projects I created with this kit. I will show you a couple of them today and the rest tomorrow so as not to overwhelm!!

"Young Guns"
Having two boys, I make a lot of "boy" layouts. So even with a kit as feminine as this one, I can usually manage to find a way to create a masculine layout. This one is for my middle child, Gunner. My husband likes to call him "Guns", which is just one of many nicknames we have for him. I started playing with the blues and greens, then threw in some brown and hints of orange. I love how the colors complemented my sepia photos (which I never use!), and created an almost tropical look...

"Lil' Spring Chicken"
This is a photo of my little girl, playing in the grass at my mom's house. When picking out the papers to assemble this layout, I was trying to figure out what I was going to use to "anchor" my photo- when I saw and realized that the Pink Paislee "Collage Sheets" packaging was a perfect, coordinating fit! I just love little lightbulb moments like that! Add some stitching and a bit of trim tied at the top, and you have a beautiful, upcycled embellishment :).
