Magnifique Workshop Layouts

Well I'm back from our first Hockey Road-trip to Vernon with my son's triple A Peewee team and we had a hoot! Won two games and tied one...here he is defending the net...

Workshops are starting this week and I've got some pictures to share! Remember that you can click on any of these images for a more close up look and they will open in another window...simply arrow back to return to the main page again.

This is the featured layout in the Workshop Kit...nice and simple...stamping with the *new* Pacifica Exclusive Ink colour and using the Shades of Chocolate Mini-Medley collection and Heart to Heart stamp set which is included in the Magnifique (G1015) Workshops on the Go kit 

In working with the Magnifique myStickease assortment I've created two bonus layouts with the remaining papers in the Magnifique Workshop kit:

Magnifique LEVEL 2 paper pack, Magnifique myStickease, Shimmer brads, & Shades of Chocolate Mini-Medley

Magnifique LEVEL 2 paper pack, Magnifique myStickease, Colonial White crochet ribbon, & Opaques Licorice Adhesive Gems

Here are two more layouts I assembled using the Magnifique LEVEL 1 paper pack:

The left hand side of this next layout was made with the last two sheets of cardstock in the Level2 paper pack in the Workshop kit. I needed to add another sheet of the Chocolate and Lagoon cardstock to finish the right hand side of this layout. I also used some Embroidery Floss for the stitching around both pages. The Peacock feathers and sentiment are from the Circle of Love myAcrylix stamp set and I've added a frame from the Foundry Flourishes Asst.

The peacock feathers are embellished with the Blue & Green Sparkles

Thursday is looking Magnifique

Well this week has gone by in a blur of sorting school supplies, packing lunches, missing school buses, picture day already and homework! New Hockey schedules and Dance schedules...take-out dinners and back-logged laundry piles...hopefully next week will run a little smoother!

Today (evening) Mr. Purolator Dude finally arrived with some more goodies from my CTMH order...Workshop kits, Shimmery Brads, a 12X12 work-in-progress Album, stamps and the long awaited newest addition to our Scrapbook Program, the 'Magic' layout Book...loaded with brand new original design patterns by Jeanette Lynton!

We will be starting a new session of Workshop Club's where we will be creating 3- two page layouts and a card...at least that's my goal...

This month's featured Workshop kit is Magnifique and it is more fabulous than I thought it would be! I worked on the featured 2 page layout from the WOTG kit this afternoon and totally loved it! It doesn't even have photos in it yet! I will be cutting for the two Bonus layouts this evening, now that I have the 'Magic' scrapbook pattern book and will hopefully have some actual photos posted sometime tomorrow...but to wet your whistle...here's a look at some of the art created by some of the fabulous designers at CTMH...

This layout is highlighting some of our newest color additions, Lagoon and Pacifica as well as two fantastic stamp sets Unity and Circle of Love...I played a little today with the gorgeous peacock and the swirl you see in the above layout...you are going to love this one, guaranteed!
