</a><a href="http://www.cestmagnifiquekits.com/">C'est Magnifique Kits</a> aspires to bring something a little different to our monthly kits. We will predominately offer sophisticated, international papers each month from countries such as France, Poland, Sweden, etc. At times there will also be a smattering of American papers and we plan to provide some international embellishments as well. Each month we search for and find the perfect embellishments to compliment the patterned paper we have selected. We provide a variety of beautiful embellishments in our kit that will allow you to create many layouts. But we always find more than we can possibly include in the kit and because we all love to use flowers, our kits will always include flowers. <br />
<br />
As a subscriber, you will be guaranteed a kit each month, and will receive a discount of at least $5.00 per kit. You will also receive free shipping of kit add-ons and store purchases if you elect to have them shipped with your kit and the said monthly add-ons will be discounted either 5 or 10% for members. <br />
<br />
In addition, our talented design team will be providing you with many ideas for ways to use our kits. Check out our <a href="http://cestmagnifiquekits.com/gallery/">GALLERY</a> and <a href="http://cestmagnifiquekits.blogspot.com/">BLOG</a> for ideas and monthly challenges. The design team will also be available to chat with you in our Forum. So if C'est Magnifique does sound like the place for you...come and join the club! </center><br />

Welcome to <b><i><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">CARDS Week</span></i></b> everyone, so that means for this challenge you are creating <b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Cards, Tags, Mini-Albums and Altered/Off-the-Page Projects</span></i></b> only. Our Layouts, Mini-Albums and Altered/Off-the-Page Challenge for these colors can be found here in <a href="http://colorcombosgalore.blogspot.com/2012/04/color-combo-challenge-227.html">Color Combos Galore Challenge #227</a>.<br /><br />
We are glad that you are visiting us each and every week, it's so easy to jump right into the challenges. We would really love it if you did! Color is just one part of your design process, thus making it very easy to combine this challenge with other card challenges, like sketches and so many others. I totally welcome you to combine challenges! Personally, I think combining more challenges the better, it's always such a thrill to push one's own creativity! <br /><br />

can be found in the Inspiration Board below.<br />
Now, let's get started on this Reveal!....<br />

Jinny Newlin<br />
Soaring</a></td><td align="left" valign="top">My family and I live in a small suburb of Kansas City, just over an hour and a half north of where I grew up. I am a former, kindergarten teacher turned adoring wife to BJ and stay-at-home, home school mom to a smart, spunky, eight-year-old Ezekiel and a vocal, tenacious, three-year-old Adina. When I’m not taking care of or playing with my family, you can find me cooking, baking, gardening, camping, sewing, taking pictures, and of course, paper crafting. My love for the latter started, over ten years ago, at a Stampin’ Up workshop; but I have been creating with any and every form of crafting media, that I could get my hands on, since I was old enough to hold a crayon.<br><br>I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am to have the opportunity to design with the Color Combos Galore Design Team and hope that I’ll inspire you all to get creating.</td></tr>

I would like to invite everyone to check out Jinny's <a href="http://jinnynewlin.blogspot.com/">blog</a> and see all of her beautiful work!<br /><br /><br />

Sylvia van der Steen<br />
</a></td><td align="left" valign="top">My name is Sylvia van der Steen, I am from the Netherlands, 51 years old, married to my DH for more than 28 years. We have 2 grown-up daughters. I have been creative for as long as I can remember, used to make clothing for my Barbie dolls when I was a little girl, did some knitting, cross stichting, sewing and crochetting, but I started scrapbooking some 6-7 years ago. I love this hobby, because it gives me the opportunity to play with papers in all possible ways. I guess you could describe my style as shabby chique, but I love vintage as well. I prefer scrapping at 12x12”, but sometimes do some mini’s, cards, tags and altered items. Fave colors are pastels like cream, brown, pink (in all shades), black & white. Most of the times you’ll find flowers, lace and distressing on my layouts.</td></tr>

<br />
Hello everyone, welcome back to <b><i><span style="color: #a98d68; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">LAYOUTS Week</span></i></b>! That means a new set of colors! This one is a product challenge, and we are creating <b><i><span style="color: #a2b3b7;">Layouts, Mini-Albums and Altered Projects</span></i></b> only. The deadline is <i><span style="color: #a98d68; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>April 28, 11:59pm USA/EST</b></span></i>.<br />
<br />
Thank you for visiting us each and every week, we hope you can play along with us. Color is just one part of your design process. So it makes it very easy to combine this challenge with other challenges such as sketch or word challenges. Personally, I think combining more challenges the better, it's always such a thrill to push one's own creativity!<br />
<br />
As a reminder, C'est Magnifique Kits is our LAYOUTS sponsor this month. I want to thank owner Leslie for donating a special prize package of C'est Magnifique goodies! If you want to whet your appetite and see her gorgeous selections, take a look at some past kits <a href="http://www.cestmagnifiquekits.com/pastkits.html">HERE</a>. <br />
<br />
And now to announce our winner for <a href="http://colorcombosgalore.blogspot.com/2012/03/color-combo-challenge-223.html">Challenge #223</a>, it is.....<br />
<br />
Sylvia van der Steen! Congratulations to her, her layout entry won the Guest Designer spot for today's Reveal!! <br />

Sylvia van der Steen<br />
</a></td><td align="left" valign="top">My name is Sylvia van der Steen, I am from the Netherlands, 51 years old, married to my DH for more than 28 years. We have 2 grown-up daughters. I have been creative for as long as I can remember, used to make clothing for my Barbie dolls when I was a little girl, did some knitting, cross stichting, sewing and crochetting, but I started scrapbooking some 6-7 years ago. I love this hobby, because it gives me the opportunity to play with papers in all possible ways. I guess you could describe my style as shabby chique, but I love vintage as well. I prefer scrapping at 12x12”, but sometimes do some mini’s, cards, tags and altered items. Fave colors are pastels like cream, brown, pink (in all shades), black & white. Most of the times you’ll find flowers, lace and distressing on my layouts.</td></tr>

My name is Mai Watanabe. also known as titiyan.<br />
I live in Japan, with my husband and two cute daughters. (5 years old and 1 year old)<br />
I started scrapbooking 2008, and now still love paper! I want to create everyday and find little happiness. Children grow up so quickly, I never want to forget, and always keep memories in layouts. I always think when creating a layout the "calculation of color". Plus or minus, or a combination of any color! It is the most fun! So I love color inspiration! Very excited about the great challenge! Thank you!</td></tr>

I have very sad news. My husband, and my family have been in mourning these past few weeks, sadly his youngest brother passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly. He suffered severe complications from diabetes and fell into a coma. He was gone the next day. I have never dealt with loss of a close relative. Far distanced Aunts and Uncles, Grandparents yes, but never a sibling. So this was particularly hard on me, not to mention my husband. I have appreciated your patience during this very difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's been a very somber three weeks, but I am eager to resume the challenges. So, I take a deep breath, and say we need to move on. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Over the next two weeks, we will be playing with February's unposted Challenges - #219 and #220. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">This week's winner will debut as a </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: 120%;">Guest Designer</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span></b></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>for LAYOUTS Week on April 1st</b></span></i>. </div><div style="text-align: center;">How exciting! </div><br />
Speaking of debuts and excitement....drumroll, please.....<br />

Kay Fatula<br />
Kay's Kreative Korner</a></td><td align="left" valign="top">My name is Karla but I'm better known as Kay--a nickname I rec'd in college & it simply stuck. I've loved arts/crafts my whole life. I've been drawing since the first time I picked up my first crayon. However, it wasn't until 2007 that I discovered scrapbooking & haven't looked back since. I also discovered the art of stamping--I tend to stamp my own backgrounds & create my own designs. I also enjoy doing the occasional altered art. I've altered wooden frames, wooden boxes, mini albums & have done a couple of canvases. <br />
By day, I'm a senior level Quality Analyst working for a Fortune 100 global company. I'm married to a great guy that puts up with & supports my scrapbook & crafting addiction! I have no kids as of yet. Just one small fur-baby by the name of Toby who's my little ray of sunshine. I have two sides to me--the technical/analytical side seen by day and the crafty/artistic side seen mostly by night.<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to working with the CCG team & in hopefully inspiring some of you to get creative with color!</td></tr>

Thank you Kay, we are so honored! WELCOME to the team! I would like to invite everyone to check out Kay's blog and see all of her beautiful and stunning designs!<br />

Azumi (Az) Izuno<br />
Forever Blue</a></td><td align="left" valign="top">Hello everyone! This is Azumi from Japan. Please call me "AZ" :) I am really, really happy and so grateful for being here. I enjoy a full and busy life with my hubby who loves motorcycles, a 6 year old daughter, and 1 year old son. I fell in love with scrapbooking about 4 years ago. My first intention was to simply sort our family pictures out. But now, I am crazy about this wonderful hobby! I also enjoy photography and drawing illustration :) I especially like learning about photography, for it leaves me with so many pleasant memories. I am so happy to come in this fabulous team! I hope you will enjoy CCG with us!!</td></tr>

Thank you Az! We are just as tickled and excited to have you, your designs and style are just fantastic! WELCOME to the team! Well everyone, it's CARDS and TAGS Week. That means for this challenge you are creating those projects only. If you are a card maker, then come on down!!! Otherwise if you are looking to create Layouts, Mini-Albums and Off-the-Page projects with these colors, that challenge can be found here at <a href="http://colorcombosgalore.blogspot.com/2012/02/color-combo-challenge-217.html">Color Combos Galore Challenge #217</a>. Now, the deadline for BOTH Challenges is February 14, 11:59pm USA/EST, So if you haven't created your page yet, there is still plenty of time! <br />
<br />
It's National Mend a Broken Heart Month, and there's only one week left to finish our Valentine's Day cards and gift projects. With that, I give you the following Challenge, can't wait for you to see! Last week's song was so beautiful and romantic, I was going to go with another Valentines type song, but while I was staring and brainstorming over the photo, I was thinking hearts, sew....I immediately remembered one of my favorite 80's songs. I hope you enjoy it! Read the details of this week's challenge below in the Inspiration Board, I really hope you have fun with it this week!<br />

My name is Anne-Marie and I'm a SAHM living currently in Switzerland till Dec 2008. My family and myself are from sunny Singapore but we've had the awesome opportunity to live in Switzerland the past 8 months. My two children, Ethan (8 years) and Hannah (6 years) are my constant inspirations.<br /><br />I have been scrapping for close to 5 years now and I'm still enjoying every single moment of it! I love that it is such a creative outlet for exploration and personal expression. I like that there is no right or wrong, no 'should's or 'should not's... just personal, heartfelt artistic expression. I feel a sense of release and accomplishment when I create and all the more, when my creations are able to inspire others.<br /><br />I like to capture the 'moment' in my scrapbook pages. As such, my photos and the story I want to tell are usually the starting points for me. I love mixing colors and patterns and adding an eclectic mix of embellishments. <br /><br /></span></span></div><p><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">Anne-Marie, I just love your style!

My husband is currently on month 3 of a 12 month deployment to Afghanistan.<br /><br />I have been scrapbooking for about 3 1/2 years. I was given a copy of Creating Keepsakes by a friend I taught with, and that is what did me in. I had always thought of scrapbooking as stickers and photos cut into shapes before that day. I never looked back!<br /><br />I design for Studio Calico kit club, Websters Pages, and Prima Marketing. I have been published in Creating Keepsakes, Simple Scrapbooks, and Scrapbook Trends. At the core of it, though, this is my fun, my creative release. It's a hobby to me, and one that has kept me sane.<br /><br />When I'm not scrapbooking, I'm with the girls having tea parties, playing dress up, or store. I also love to hit up the flea market and if you ever visit my blog, you'll see I display vintage treasures just as often as scrapbooking pages.<br /><br />Thanks so much for this wonderful opportunity, I had so much fun with this challenge!<br /><br /></span></span></div><p><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">Well we all love your work Stephanie, thank you so much for being here!

She has since designed for a variety of manufacturers and had her work published in several publications. In 2007, Linda was inducted into the Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame and in 2008 she released her first scrapbook idea book, Starting Points.
