Patti's April Projects and Farewell

Hi, Patti here to share my projects with the April Main Kit! This was one of my favorite kits ever, the LemonCraft papers and embellishments are just gorgeous! I used the Flower Add-On as well.

This first layout is me with my furry baby "Harley." She is the sweetest dog ever (she doesn't know she's a dog). I love the way the blooms accent the black and white photo!


Here are a few close-ups:




For this next layout I chose a picture of our precious first Granddaughter! I focused on the pale colors in the kit for this page for a softer feel! I love the sweet photo of her with her Daddy! I created a "faux stitched" circle around the cluster.


You can see the faux stitching here. There was stitching printed on the main paper so I just mimiced the look in a few places!




This layout is a photo of our second precious Granddaughter! I used the chipboard frame to frame this sweet photo! I again used the softer elements in the kit.


Close-ups:




This is our daughter. I used more vibrant colors and shades for this layout. I love how the colors came together for this page. This kit is amazing!


Beautiful little blooms included here!



For my last project I created two cards. Each card has a totally different look!



I hope you liked the projects I created this month. I really enjoyed creating them. This kit really was a lot of fun and I thank you for taking the time to look!

************
The C'est Magnifique Team would like to thank Patti for her hard work and beautiful creations over the past 6 months. You will be greatly missed! We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. If you'd like to continue to follow Patti, please visit her blog, My Pieces of Time.

Stina's April Kit Projects

Hello! Stina here today sharing what I have created with the beautiful April Kit.
It's a true blessing to work with this lovely kit!


My first layout is with my crazy kid and some of his funny faces. I cut the overlay in pieces and put them on three different places on the layout. For this layout I used products from the Main Kit, the Flower Add-On, the Mixed Media Kit and the Embellishment Add-On.


From my own stash I used: white paint

This layout is one of my favorites! I love the soft colors on the paper and flowers. To blend all the embellishments together I painted them with a little bit of white paint. For this layout I used products from the Main Kit,the Flower Add-On and the Embellishment Add-On.




From my own stash I used: pink inca gold, mini alpha stickers from the February Kit

This is a layout of my friend's daughter. For this layout I used products from the Main Kit, the Flower Add-On, the Mixed Media Kit and the Embellishment Add-On.



From my own stash I used: pink letters

Here's a layout with the same girl this time going for a walk in the forest. For this layout I used products from the Main Kit, the Mixed Media Kit and the Embellishment Add-On.





From my own stash I used: leaves, green and brown mist

My last layout is of my son sleeping in the car. For this layout I used products from the Main Kit, the Flower Add-On, the Mixed Media Kit and the Embellishment Add-On.



Thanks for stopping by today!

Dana's April Kit Projects

Hi! Dana here today sharing my April Kit creations. This kit is absolutely beautiful and I had a lot of fun cutting and layering patterned papers and die-cuts on my projects this month. The vibrant pink and teal floral accents help to brighten up my pages. The stunning floral prints in this kit have me thinking Spring! I used the April Main Kit, Flower Add-On, Embellishment Add-On and Magnifique Mixed Media Kit for each of the layouts I am sharing today. My Sister-in-Law provided me with these gorgeous photos of my niece, who will be thrilled to get some happy scrappy mail!


I cut away portions of the FabScraps Fleur patterned paper and backed it with fresh polka dot Lemoncraft Tea Roses patterned paper to create a more colorful background for this layout.


I added color to the page with fussy cuts and flowers. The green leaves are leftovers I had from the March Flower Add-On.


I created the title for this page with a die-cut sentiment and Typewriter Key Stickers from the Mixed Media Kit.


I absolutely love this photo of my niece! I think all scrappers can relate to this situation! Posing for pictures certainly has a short time frame, especially if there are wardrobe changes involved.


I used the pink crown from the Main Kit as a stencil to add some texture to the background of this page. I added some subtle color along the woodgrain by using the Ranger Juniper Paint Dabber from the Mixed Media Kit.


The chalkboard tags from the Mixed Media Kit work great with a white gel pen.


I played up the floral theme for this layout. The pretty prints on my niece's outfit were just perfect for this patterned paper!


I used the stencil and paint from the Mixed Media Kit to trace and color the butterflies onto the background of this page. I embossed the wooden bow with the C'est Magnifique Mystic Pink Embossing Powder included in the Mixed Media Kit. The mix of pink and black embossing powders yields a fantastic textured finish.


I built this title spot with pieces of chipboard, die-cuts, flowers and pins. I cut the chipboard from the Mixed Media Kit in half and used the "Sweet" portion here. I colored the chipboard word with the C'est Magnifique Starry Night Glaze from the Mixed Media Kit.


I'm quite happy with how this altered piece turned out. I used items from the Mixed Media Kit, Flower Add-On and Embellishment Add-On for this altered hanger.

I hope I have inspired you today! I have one more layout to share for the April Sketch Challenge on the first of the month.  I have really enjoyed playing with this kit! If you are interested in the April  Kit or Add-Ons a limited amount of kits are available for purchase from the C'est Magnifique Store while supplies last! Make sure to stop by here on the 31st for the full April Kit reveal.
