Sugar 'n Spice (C' est Magnifique July Kit Reveal)

Hi everyone..

Before everything went a bit crazy for me a few weeks ago, I had the chance to really get into my July kit from C' est Magnifique which has just been part-revealed. The full kit will be revealed later on in the month but to be assured you will receive this kit (at a discounted price) please visit our join page for the details.  We also have these paper packs available in our Store

Here is my first layout out of 5 that I can show you today which has been shown at the C' est Magnifique blog

" Sugar n' Spice" 



* I  used a die from Cheery Lynn designs to create the vine



* I stamped some images from the Fairy Belle stamps onto some white cardboard
 and then coloured them in using Copic Markers.

This is part of what the July kit looks like and you can check out more HERE

Paper from Swedish company Inkido and Teresa Collins

Flower Add - On

Embellishment Add - On

Hope you are well everyone! Hope you are happy. 

I want to leave you with this quote I read recently which has stayed with me .. 


"Someone will always be prettier. 

They will always be smarter. 
They will have more money in their checking account.
Their house will be bigger. 
They will drive a better car. 
Their children will do better in school. 
And their husband will fix more things around the house. 
So let it go
and love you and your circumstances....
Think about it.
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart. 
And the most highly favored
woman on your job may be unable to have children. 
And the richest woman you know, 
she's got the car, the house, the clothes....might be lonely. 
And the world says "If I have not Love, I am nothing." 
So, again, love you. 
Love who you are. 
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say 
'I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!' 
'Winners make things happen. 
Losers let things happen.' "
~Author Unknown

Just a thought anyway :)

  10. Your layout is breathtaking! I adore your gorgeous flower arrangmenet. And the quote is so beautiful too - and so true! In Dutch we have a saying that means the same: 'elk huisje heeft zijn kruisje'. It means something like 'the people you think are perfect actually have their problems too'.

  21. I love the quote..I think we can all benefit from reading that from time to time, especially women, who seem to judge ourselves so harshly at times. I love your blog makeover, did you do it yourself? Looks great!! Your layout is of course, also very beautiful. I especially love the pretty string of beads, so feminine and perfect for this lovely page!!
