:: My very last project for C´est Magnifique ::

This is my very last work as a designer for C´est Magnifique. I remember when I was contacted by Erin Blegen back in January if I wanted to design for this amazing kit club! I was stunned that they wanted me?! I have really loved working with the kits! I stayed on when the club was sold last summer but now I need to step down from the team. I simply live too far from the USA.

When I started with this last layout I thought it would be a very ugly one. But I LOVE it! It feels so good to leave with a layout I`m really pleased with!

I added lots of gesso with my fingers on this page. I think it gets the layout a very wintery feeling.

Layers of pretty flowers and a bow. With Gesso.

I used flowers from Prima and Petaloo on this layout. I think I used supplies from all kits on this layout! Look at the cute button.

To make the words more clear I added a patterned paper behind the tag. I also doodled a bit.

I fussy cutted the Santa and added flowers and stickers.

Thank you C´est Magnifique!

:: C´est Magnifique Noel 2013 ::

Here is a bit more clean and simple layout. Look! No flowers! Some times I actually make layouts without flowes. Not often but some times.  I didn´t think flowers was neede here.

I just love this photo! 

I painted the word with Gesso and white acrylic paint. Then before the paint was dry I sprinkled glitter on the word.

I used layers of different stickers and then I used my sewing machine.

:: C´est Magnifique December kit Silly Santa ::

This is so much my boy! He always make me laugh! I wanted to create a fun and whimsical page and i think I nailed it.

Flowers from Petaloo and Prima.

I made a bow and tied it together with the wire ribbon.

I used supplies from the Main kit, Flower add-on, MM kit and the Embellie kit.

:: C´est Magnifique Christmas cards ::

I just love creating cards and my favorite ones are Christmas cards! Today I have three cards created with the amazing December kit from C´est Magnifique.

I think it´s so pretty colors together with the dark red and beige and brown colors.

I painted the Blue Fern chipboard with Silk paints from the MM kit and added some golden flakes.

This card took for ever to create! It looks so simple but it was quite tricky to put together.

I wanted it to get a fun 3d effect so I made a little basket for Santa to stay in. I used the wire ribbon and attached them to the balloon.

The last one is more elegant and a bit luxury. I love the large Green Tara flower together with the double bow. I also used a snowflake chipboard from Blue Fern with  green paint and gold enamel.

I have used supplies from the Main kit, MM kit, Flower add-on and Embellishment kit.

:: C´est Magnifique December sketch challenge ::

This is the December sketch for C´est Magnifique sketch challenge.

Here is my layout after the sketch. I just love the papers from Riddersholm Design!

I took a whole bunch of cute photos last year with Viggo and wanted to use them again.

Metall tag from Tim Holtz.

It´s a mix of supplies from the Main kit, the Embellie kit, Flower add-on and the MM kit.

Amazing berries from Petaloo!

:: Last layout with C´est Magnifique November kit ::

When I first started this page I was really unhappy with it! But now I really love how it turned out! I think it´s cool and playful and still with my romantic style.

Flowers from the Main kit and Flower add-on kit.

I used lot of tags and die-cuts. I also used some black cardstock and doodled a bit with black. All to create cool contrast!

I added the black and white twine for even more fun feeling!

:: Handsome boy with the November kit from C´est Magnifique ::

My boy likes to put on some nice clothes when it´s some special occation. He´s so cool with his shirt and west! I wanted to even out the pattern a bit behind my photo so I used Gesso, Mist and Prima Texture Paste Gold Crackle. But I only used a thin coat of it so it don´t crackle then. 

I used many layers and played a bit with the title. I cut off the hanger from the tags with words and used them as text strips.

:: Cards with the November kit from C´est Magnifique ::

This kit is perfect for making cards! The papers from Blue Fern Studios and all die-cuts makes it easy and fun!

Pretty flowers from Prima and Manour House.

Lots of layers and cute details.

And the last one.

This summer Viggo really got going with his bike. He like to go fast!

I added some Prima Art Sugar on the letters. I really loved working with the November kit!
