Dreams Come True Layout **Guest Designer C'est Magnifique Kits** w/ Kaisercraft

Two of my kids were outside this past fall raking up the leaves to jump into, in the process they found a snake, but that is a completely different story.  I could not resist grabbing my camera and playing the mamarazzi for a bit while they were goofing around jumping in the leaves, throwing them at each other, and then at me.  Such wonderful leafy memories.  My son kept hiding from the camera, but my daughter was hamming it up.


I used the superb C'est Magnifique February kit again to create this layout.  The colors were just a perfect match for the feel of the pictures was taking.   I could not have asked for a better match for my pictures!
 

I took a Prima damask stencil and applied a thin coat of light paste from Prima, I did not want a heavy feel to the page, just a hint of something else there.  And of course I misted it with some yummy Tattered Angels mist in Silk.


I added a little Canvas Corp mini clothespin to the top of each picture and then cut out one of the Kaisercraft butterfly stickers and added it to the top for a cute little finish.


To emphasize the quote, I wrapped it in the white trim wrapping it around for a focal point, also helping of set the break in the picture line.  It helps draw your eye in, but then guide it around the page to the other elements.

Supplies Used
Cardstock - Core'dinations

Enjoy!!

Tips on Craft Storage **Deflecto & Eyelet Outlet**

I am always looking for the best way to store my crafty supplies that allow me to use my space efficiently, allow easy access, and also are easy to take to crops and retreats.  Deflecto came out with the amazing new Stackable Caddy Organizer that fits the bill for all my wants and needs.  It has almost unlimited space as the units stack together, portable, easy to use, and pulls apart so I can work with the small containers on my desk.


Here is a little video explaining how I use this system, what I store in it, why it so amazing, and how much it can all fit of my fun little items such as washi tape, bling, gems, brads, eyelets, flowers, and other such crafty goodies.


Products used can be purchased at Amazon.com, or you can click HERE and enter your zip code to see where you can purchase Deflecto Craft products near you.

Treasured Moments Layout **Guest Designer C'est Magnifique** w/ Kaisercraft

When I was taking the pictures for the Handmade Floral Headband from the previous post, my little model (my daughter Catherine) was just too cute.  The pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined, I had to scrap them.  Who could resist that sweet little face?!?!


I was asked to be a guest designer for C'est Magnifique Kits for the amazing February Kit.  It is just full of luscious papers, trims, flowers, and other lovely bits a bobs to create wonderful projects.  This is the second of 4 projects I am revealing this week!!



I rolled up some of the papers to add under the picture as an added embellishment.  I love layers on layouts, they help add some much dimension and interest.


Who does not love flowers, and these Prima flowers are super cute!!
 
Here is a fun little tip, popping up your picture with foam dots allows you tuck in little flowers along the side without covering up your picture too much.

Supplies Used
Keys -  C'est Magnifique Feb Kit (Santoro)
Mist - Tattered Angels
Adhesive - Xyron/Beacon
Enjoy!

Handmade Headband w/Video Tutorial **C'est Magnifigue Kits** Guest Designer

I was asked to be a guest designer for C'est Magnifique Kits for the amazing February Kit.  It is just full of luscious papers, trims, flowers, and other lovely bits a bobs to create wonderful projects.  This is the first of 4 projects I am revealing this week!!


I started off making a cute little headband for my daughter.  She helped me open the box when it got delivered and she saw the 2 large purple/pink flowers and held it up in her hair and told me look pretty!  Cannot deny her that the flowers were just perfect for a headband, so why not!!



Here is a little video tutorial so you can see how I made this cute little floral headband!!


My little girl Catherine loved her headband so much I had no problem asking her to model it for me.  This cute little head band is perfect for dressing up, when taking pictures, or a pretty gift for a special little girl.  Also with all the Mod Podge it makes it super durable.

Heart Clip Tree **Deflecto & CCB & CE & Die~Namites** w/ Video

I love February with the feeling of love in the air. Right now with my kids is a fun little month with cute cards and always lots of candy, but it does put a smile on my face. So here is a cute little tree to brighten up my house for the season.


I made the entire tree from scratch with wood, clips, paint, paper, and glue.  Here is a video tutorial about how I made this fun little tree.


This is actually round 2 of the same tree I made for Christmas/Winter.  Click on the picture to see the post about that tree.

I made this tree with the wonderful VersaGrip Double Clip Sign holders from Deflecto, they are the entire inspiration behind all this cuteness.

For that extra little something I used the super cute little Wooden Conversation Hearts from Creative Embellishments.  Each little heart has a fun little saying like you would find on the candies.  Spray with with mist and they are almost cute enough to eat!

For my little tree I just went with the idea of the heart and love, I pretty much just did a vague interpretation of this inspiration, but that is what it is inspiration!


To top of my tree I needed a cute little something to complete he look.  I had this fun die from Die-Namites dies "Love Struck" of a heart with cupid in the middle and it works wonderfully!!

Send some love to someone in your family, either with a hug, card, or just saying something nice.  It is truly what Valentine's Day is all about.  My hope is seeing this cute little tree in my front hall will remind me and the rest of my family to be a little kinder to each other!
