(Erin) C'est Magnifique June Kit Sneak!!

Good morning! I hope you've all survived the holiday and are getting back into the swing of things. I seem to have come down with strep throat again, so I'm struggling a bit- but I wanted to make sure I got on here and shared with you my first layout using the June kit over at C'est Magnifique! The full kit has not yet been revealed, but will be very shortly! If interested in getting your hands on some of the add-ons and/or extras, visit the June section of the C'est Magnifique store here!

"Ick."
I have a favorite place right by my house where I like to take the kids on the 4-wheeler. It's a pond way back in the woods and on a recent beautiful spring day we ventured back there and the boys enjoyed throwing rocks in the water. My little Aspen, however, didn't quite know what to think about her first real outing. Since finally learning to sit, I can actually place her on the ground and she can explore her surroundings. I took several pictures, and they all look pretty similar- my dainty sweetheart with a look of disgust on her face. I've always been quite the tomboy, so seeing my daughter already acting like a "girly girl"...well, it was a bit disheartening! But they all find their own way in this world, don't they?
 
I kept to the natural elements in this kit- the burlap buttons, grassy bits, brown and beige tones- with just a splash of color.

From the Flower Add-On:
Petaloo: Canterbury Glittered Roses
Petaloo: Forget Me Nots
Manor House Creations: Marguerite/Sugar & Spice Combo

From the Embellishment Add-On:

These kits fly out the door, so if you're interested in grabbing one for yourself, don't hesitate!

Hope you all have a great day/night, and take care of yourselves :).

I am not an outdoor person and the biggest girly girl ever...LOVE this page and how you clustered everything around the photo and of course Aspen is just a cutie pie! very nice :)

Stunning! I'm sure she will "toughen up" over time but she is so dainty I can't ever imagine her being a tomboy lol Tx
