I have enjoyed being a guest detective at CSI this month, along with other designers from C'est Magnifique Kits. I hope you will following the link and participate in the challenge this week.
I love the colors in this week's challenge (and aren't these wedding cakes lovely?):
Here's my layout for the challenge - my niece Macy:
~~~Valerie
I just finished my design team layouts using the June kit from C'est Magnifique. It's a very pretty kit. Although the entire kit has not yet been revealed, you can see the paper and add-ons on the Blog. You will also be able to see how the talented Nadia Cannizzo used the kit. I will be back sometime next week with one of my layouts.
I am into the third week as Guest Detective at CSI (Color.....Stories.....Inspiration....), along with others from the C'est Magnifique Design Team. I loved the colors this week, but must admit that they are not colors I would have combined. That's why they call it a challenge! I hope you'll give it a try. I will provide a link at the bottom of the post.
Here's my take on the challenge, using a photo of my darling niece, Makenzie Brooke. She is such a sweet (and smart!) little girl, and I'm so happy that she is part of my family.
Head over to CSI to get all the details about Case File No. 20. C'est Magnifique is the sponsor this month so I know there will be a great prize!
~~~Valerie
C'est Magnifique Kits is sponsoring CSI (Color, Stories, Inspiration) and the design team will be guest detectives this month. Here is a look at Case File No. 18. Sure hope you can play along!
Here is my take on the challenge using a photo of my niece and nephew, appropriately titled "Giggles".
~~~Valerie
Do you like sketch challenges? If so, I hope you will check out the May sketch challenge on the C'est Magnifique Blog. We'd love to have you participate! The very talented Nadia Cannizzo created this sketch.
And here's my interperation of the sketch using the May kit:
~~~Valerie
I love this photo of my nieces, but the colors were really bad. I added a vintage action and now it's just plain adorable! I think it's so sweet how both of them are laying on the floor together. I created this layout using the May kit from C'est Magnifique Kits.
"Wonderful to be Sisters"
~~~Valerie
I can't believe it's almost May! But that means C'est Magnifique is about to release a new kit. I know this one will be very popular because it features some really fantastic paper from 7 Dots Studio - the Wonderland line.
This sweet baby boy is my darling great-nephew. What a joy it was to photograph him! I love you, Keegan.
~~~Valerie
If you like sketches, be sure to head over to Once Upon a Sketch to see their latest challenge. C'est Magnifique is sponsoring this challenge and the winner will receive the April kit. It's been a very popular kit!
Nadia invited the design team from C'est Magnifique to play along with this sketch:
The theme that goes along with the sketch is "Home". I chose this photo of our dog, Kiefer, when he was a puppy. He's sitting on my husband's lap, resting his chin on the edge of his computer. He is such a part of our home. If you have a pet, I'm sure you know what I mean. In keeping with the theme of the challenge, I used a definition of the word 'home' as my title.
~~~Valerie
So happy that C'est Magnifique Kits teamed with the manufacturer of the paper that was in the March kit, The Scrap Cake. They featured this layout of mine of their BLOG today, so I think I'd better share it too. This is my darling niece, and that girl's entire face lights up when she smiles!
~~~Valerie
I've really enjoyed working with the April kit from C'est Magnifique featuring paper from The Scrap Cake. Here are a couple of my design team layouts. I will post more later.
For Meredith........Have I told you that You Are Sweet? She has the cutest smile!
And this one for sweet Abby, giving her cat a kiss.
~~~Valerie
My husband and I are blessed to have a healthy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel sharing our home with us. I don't know what I'd do without Kiefer. Our love of this breed led us to join Cavalier Rescue USA. Not every one of these dogs, like other breeds, has a good home with loving owners.
We recently had the pleasure of meeting Nancy, a very sweet Cavalier who is looking for a new home. You can read all about her HERE. This sweet little girl is looking for someone to adopt her. Here are a couple of photos that we took of her yesterday.
Isn't she adorable? She is so full of energy and would be so easy to fall in love with. If you are looking for a pet to bring into your home, follow the link above and find out more information about Nancy.
~~~Valerie
......I married the love of my life. He's the most wonderful husband anyone could ask for, and I'm so glad he's mine.
Happy Anniversary Mark!
I can't tell you how much I love the kits from C'est Magnifique. I've been scrapping for 12 years and although I love the American lines of paper, I like to have a change, as well. C'est Magnifique features paper from companies outside the United States. Some of the flowers and embellishments are from international companies as well.
Now don't get wrong.......I still love Pink Paislee, Prima, Webster's Pages, Teresa Collins, and whole lot of others, but it's also fun to play with paper that is a little different.
The March kit featured paper from a Swedish company, Pion Designs. I liked what I saw from the on-line images, but when I received it, I was blown away. It really is some of the most beautiful paper I've ever seen. So, here are some layouts I created using the kit:
When I saw that one of the papers featured butterflies (perfect for cutting out), I remembered this photo of my niece, Macy. Isn't she precious?
And speaking of Macy, here are her parents. I love this photo of the two of them.
And here's my granddaughter Eryn and someone who loves her very much.....Makenzie. I've always thought this photo of them was very sweet.
Thanks for looking! ~~~Valerie Serfozo
I just finished my design team projects using the March kit from C'est Magnifique Kits, and I really love the paper. It's from Pion Designs, a Swedish company. This is our niece Erika. She is such a lovely person.
It's been so dreary, windy, and cold here today. I'm sure hoping for some sunshine tomorrow so I won't feel so dreary. I wanted to do some art today, but just couldn't get into it. Maybe tomorrow will be better because I'd like to organize some of my art supplies so they are easier to get to. I think that way I will use them more. Right now it's such a pain to get to them, and get them out.
Valerie Serfozo
I have a couple more layouts to share using the February kit from C'est Magnifique. The paper is from Riddersholm Designs.
The first layout is using a photo of Jessica, my nephew's wife. I have always loved this candid photo of her taken at their reception. She just looks so happy!
I must begin by telling you that this photo was not taken at my house. I've had several people tell me that they really love my house, and although it's a beautiful house with a stunning yard, it isn't mine. This is my great -niece and nephew, Makenzie and Trevor. Even though their faces are somewhat shaded by the bright sun, I have always loved this photo of them. My sister loves them "bigger than the sky" and so do I.
~~~Valerie Serfozo
First, I thought I would share some giveaway information with you. Head over to the C'est Magnifique Blog and add your name to the list for a chance to win some beautiful goodies from the February kit, which is sold out.
This week I'll share with you some layouts that I created with the kit. The paper is from a Danish company called Riddersholm Designs. Wow, this paper is lovely!
This is my darling niece, Callie Jane. She is a very special little girl. If you follow my blog you might know that she was very ill when born, but I'm so happy that she is growing up to be a healthy little girl. This is a photo that I took shortly after she came home from the hospital.
~~~Valerie
I've had a wildly crazy week both at home and at work. I don't typically work on Saturdays, but I do have to work tomorrow. I'd rather be scrapbooking or painting all day, but hopefully I'll be able to find some time for that Sunday.
The C'est Magnifique February kits will be mailed soon, and I'll be able to share my layouts. But I can share one of them today. I love the beautiful deep purple tones that are a part of the kit.
This is my beautiful great-niece, Macy. I love that girl's smile!
~~~Valerie
Just a little look at the upcoming February kit from C'est Magnifique Kits featuring paper from a Danish company, Riddersholm Designs. Wow, are these colors amazing. I'll share one of my design team projects with you in a couple of days.
I really like these! How about you?
~~~Valerie Serfozo
I'm trying to get back into the things that I like to do, and participating in Shimelle's 10 Things on the Tenth of each month, is one of those things I like to do. I really don't like to make resolutions, and I'm not crazy about calling them goals, either. Maybe it's just the word that I don't like. But at the beginning of each year, after the rush of Christmas, I like to think about things that I'd like to do better and things that I want to accomplish. The first few months of the year are rather slow (and cold), so it's a good time to get inside projects done. So these are 10 of those things that I've been thinking about and things I want to do better in 2012:
1. Clean my studio. It's got way more stuff in it than I could ever use in my lifetime. In my opinion, having too much makes it difficult to create. I have gotten a great start on this and I already feel lighter, and motivated to keep going.
2. Do more art. No, I don't call myself an artist (why is that so hard?), but I do love to paint and collage and get messy in my art journals. But I find that I don't do it very often. One reason is that my scrap supplies take up so much space that I have all my art journaling supplies packed away out of sight. Part of cleaning my studio is to get these supplies out where I can see them, and easily move them to my desk.
3. Purge my Reader list in Google. I have SO many blogs in there, that there is no way I can keep up. I need to get rid of things I really don't care about, and bloggers that don't post much.
4. I love online classes. Yes, I love them. But I tend to sign up for too many, and then I can't keep up with any of them. How many times do you sign up for class knowing that you don't have time to give it all you should? If you're like me, it happens too much. So I'm going to be reasonable about what I commit to. If I don't have time for the class, I'm going to skip it. That way I can really enjoy the ones I take.
5. Learn to use Lightroom. I bought it. It's loaded on my computer. It's filled with photos. But I don't know how to use it. That's going to change this year.
6. I like to send hand made birthday cards, and I'm always finding myself rushing to complete one so I can get it in the mail. I have now listed on my calendar, on the first day of the month, each birthday for that particular month. I am going to make my monthly cards all at one time, so they will be ready to mail.
7. Keep working on my photography. The only way to get better is practice, practice, practice, and I'm going to do that.
8. Put my layouts in albums. I have stacks of layouts that need to be put in albums. If I devote an afternoon to it, I will have them all put away. I can do that!
9. Cut back on purchases. The fact that I have so much stuff, means I purchase too much! I am going to make a point of purchasing only the things that I want most. I get a kit club each month, so I'm always going to have something new to play with.
10. Establish more routines. I think routines are a good thing. They keep my life ordered. They keep me from straying. 10 on the Tenth is one of those good routines!
Since no blog post is complete without a photo, here's a layout I created with the January kit from C'est Magnifique using paper from 7 Dots Studio. This is my granddaughter in her very first "real" horse riding competition. She was SO nervous, but placed 3rd. That's great for her 1st show.
So how do you feel about new beginnings each year? Do you have anything that you want to do better in 2012? I'd love to hear about it, so leave a comment below.
Now I'm off to see what others have posted on the this first 10th of the month in 2012.
~~~Valerie Serfozo
Today I head back to work after being off since December 22. I wasn't scheduled to be off that long, but ended up with a terrible cold that I just couldn't seem to shake, and it's still hanging on. I'm still not completely well. Still coughing during the day and at night, which makes it difficult to sleep. My husband, who had this first and shared it with me, ended up with pneumonia. He is still trying to get over that. I sure hope you don't have to go through this. It's just plain nasty.
I can't wait to get back to scrapbooking, because I've missed it. One of the first things I want to work on during the month of January is to clean my studio. I have WAY too much stuff in here, and I need to pass it on. It is much easier to create when things are not overflowing. I have accumulated so much over the past 11 years, and downsizing is way past due.
But I do have some design team projects to share using the January kit from C'est Magnifique. There comes a time in the dark days of winter that you just have to pull out a summer photo to scrap. This is my nephew and his family at the beach a couple of years ago. Their wonderful smiles made me happy. I loved working with the 7 Dots Studio paper in this kit!
Have a great week. For me, it's difficult to get back into the swing of things. Perhaps you're one of those who are excited to get back to your routine. Which are you? Leave me a comment and let me know.
~~~Valerie
Happy New Year! I hope your 2012 got off to a great start. My husband and I were both sick for Christmas and are still not well, so 2012 has to start off better than 2011 ended. But that's all in past (almost), and it's time to move on. Not every Christmas is guaranteed to be 'merry', and we've decided to just accept that.
Ali Edwards introduced many of us to her 'One Little Word' concept several years ago. Essentially it is choosing one word at the beginning of each year, and using that word to guide you through the coming year. Like many others, I have created a layout and/or journal about my word. This year, my word is 'realistic'. I need to be more realistic about what I can actually accomplish. I seem to take on so many things, knowing that I can't realistically complete all of them (or can't do it as well as I'd like to).
If you've chosen a word for this year, please leave me a comment and let me know what word you've chosen.
And I can finally upload my layouts using the January kit from C'est Magnifique. This kit, featuring paper from 7 Dots Studio, was so popular that it is already sold out. Here's a layout of my granddaughter prior to her Homecoming Dance this fall.
I'll upload more layouts using this kit sometime this week.
~~~Valerie
Happy Monday everyone. I've been busy working with the January kit from C'est Magnifique Kits. We are so fortunate to have the Dreamer collection from 7 Dots Studio. This kit is already sold out. It sure didn't take long.
This is my niece Makenzie. I can't say it enough......but I am so fortunate to have so many darling nieces and nephews that are more than willing to pose for photos. I sure do love this little butterfly.
Have a great week! I need a little retail therapy today, so I'm headed to Archivers to look around, and pick up one final gift at the mall.

I hope you've been able to follow some of the blogs that have been posting inspiration during the first 12 days of this month. I've been checking in each day to see Tim Holtz's tags. There have been some amazing tags, each of which feature numerous techniques. I use many of his products, and I don't think there has ever been anything that I'd consider a dud. Everything seems to be well thought out and well made. I've been leaving a comment each day, along with thousands of others, but so far, I've not been a winner.
But all is not lost. I've been extremely lucky and was chosen a winner in Pink Paislee's Winter Wonderland Blog Event. They have been posting some amazing projects each day this month using the awesome Snow Day line that was released for this winter. In addition, each day's post includes some digital ephemera. I tell you, they are adorable. I don't know for sure what I won because they call it a 'Top Secret Prize Package'. I can't wait to rip into that baby! Pink Paislee is my all-time favorite manufacturer and I have everything from every line, except the new Snow Day line. I sure hope I get a box full of it! I'll be sure to let you know what I receive.
I've also been following the Ranger blog this month, where their design team has been posting projects that are inspired by Tim Holtz's tags. And wow, they have posted some amazing projects. I've been checking in there each day and leaving a comment and today, the last day, my name was chosen. I must say, they are giving away an over-the-top prize package, with a few samples of everything! Here's what I won:
Isn't that a generous prize? It looks like Christmas is coming a little early for me this year!
Thanks Pink Paislee and thanks Ranger!
~~~Valerie Serfozo
Tis the season! We picked up our tree yesterday. It's sitting in the family room, warming up. We haven't decorated it yet because a cut tree needs to settle a little after it's been wrapped up. We didn't even have to look through 25 trees before choosing one. We ordered it in advance, and it was beautiful. This is much earlier than usual for us, but we got it for a great price, and half the price goes to NNEMAP Food Pantry. I love to purchase things that also benefit a wonderful charity like NNEMAP.
I really enjoyed working with The Scrap Cake paper in the December kit from C'est Magnifique. I think there are a few more kits remaining, so head over there if you'd like one. Here are a few layouts I've been working on:
This one goes to show that those photo sessions with Santa don't always go as planned. This is my adorable niece, Macy. She certainly didn't want to sit on this guy's lap. But we scrap these photos, because they are part of life. I'm sure she will love seeing this someday.
I know, each year we line them up and take photos in front of the tree, but I never get tired of them. This is sweet Sidney, my step-granddaughter. I enjoy the times we have together.
And this is my granddaughter, Eryn. It's not a perfect photo (junk in the background, etc.), but I always liked this one, because she looks happy.
Do you find that some of your favorite photos are not the "best" photos?
~~~Valerie Serfozo
This has been a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I hope all of you have enjoyed spending time with your family.
I've been busy working with the C'est Magnifique December kit, and I'm finally able to share another layout with you. The paper line from The Scrap Cake is called Cozy Xmas, but the paper can be used for just about anything.
This is my darling great-niece, Callie. This little one is such a sweetie. When I saw this pink paper in the kit, I knew I wanted to use one of her photos.
My husband tells me that my blog has been "under construction" for too long, so I hope to finish working on it soon.
~~~Valerie
Our sweet little boy, Kiefer, is 3 years old today. He's taking it kinda easy, and is sound asleep under my desk right now. It has been such a joy to have him in our lives.
Happy Birthday, Kiefer!
I'm excited to be able to share one of my layouts using the December kit from C'est Magnifique Kits. The kit features paper from The Scrap Cake (all the way from Poland), along with some chipboard pieces from 3 Tails Craft (Australia), and flowers from both Prima and Basic Grey (along with some other goodies). I am thrilled to be able to work with these kits which feature international papers each month. I love creating with lines of paper that are both sophisticated and different from what everyone else is using.

Welcome to this month's Happiness Project Blog Hop, hosted by Stephanie Medley-Rath, author of the Scrapworthy Lives Blog. The theme this month is 'pay attention'. I can't tell you how many times I've been guilty of not paying attention. I've also been ignored many times, and it doesn't feel good. Gretchen Rubin, the author of The Happiness Project, states in her book that a secret to happiness and love is to pay attention. She also shares a wonderful quote by Pierre Reverdy: “There is no love; there are only proofs of love.” Isn't that a wonderful quote?
I once heard Toni Morrison say something that I have never forgotten - "When a child walks in the room, do your eyes light up?" That's paying attention. That's proof of love. I have tried my best to remember that quote when my granddaughter, nieces, and nephews walk into the room. Can you imagine how powerful that can be in a child's life? It seems like such a simple thing to do, but it can be very difficult.
How do you juggle the need to be productive and making sure you 'pay attention' to those you love?
If you're following along the blog hop, you would have arrived here from Nicole's blog. Your next stop will be Kimberlee's blog Scraps and Sass. In case you weren't following along the hop, I've listed all those who are participating.

And here's a little happiness to share with you. This is my happy niece, Macy. This layout was created using the November kit from C'est Magnifique.
~~~ Valerie
Today I spent some time working on my blog header. I knew I wanted to use multiple photos, but deciding exactly which ones to use, and how to organize them, took longer than I thought. But isn't that the case with most things we set out do. It was really fun to look through some recent photos of my family and choose the ones I like best. I saved the Photoshop image as a .pgn file so I can easily swap out photos when it's time to make a change. It will be difficult to remove any of these photos because I love them all......but change is good. For now though, I am happy with these.
I have been scrapping a lot lately, but haven't posted a layout in a while. Here's one I created using the November kit, Enchanted Autumn, from C'est Magnifique. This is my granddaughter, Eryn, before her homecoming dance last month.
Hope you have a great weekend!
~~~Valerie
As you can see, my blog is under construction. I'm taking a blog class from the very talented Elise Blaha. I'm so excited to finally spruce up my blog. But like some things, it will probably get worse before it gets better. I can live with that and I hope you can, too!
I had a wonderful photo session with my niece Lauren and her new baby boy, Keegan. He was born while we were on vacation, but she kept me updated with daily photos. He was 13 days old when these were taken. I think he's adorable! I thought for sure he would sleep through the entire thing, but he was awake for much of it, which made it more difficult, but I was happy to get some photos with his eyes open.
See, I told you he's a cutie!
~~~Valerie
This month's kit from C'est Magnifique is beautiful! The paper is from Onirie with a little bit of Bo Bunny and Prima added in. The colors go really great with the latest batch of photos I ordered. I always feel so inspired when I have new photos to work with. How about you?
~~~Valerie
My post today is part of the Happiness Blog Hop. We are a group of women (most of whom are scrapbookers), and each month we take a chapter from Gretchen Rubin's book "The Happiness Project", and post our thoughts about it. The September chapter is titled Pursue a Passion.
Reading this chapter made me think about what my life would be like if I did not pursue my passions. I frequently get asked how I have enough time to scrapbook, make cards, take lots of photos, edit them, and paint, spray, stamp, and generally make a mess while working in my art journals. I can't imagine my life without creative outlets. To be honest, these are the things that keep me sane and allow my mind to rest. I get such joy from them, that I MAKE time.
Maybe you can't eat off my floors (actually I would advise against it), but that's okay with me. Clean floors don't make me happy, but being in my studio does. I am fortunate to have a room that is devoted to my passions. I don't pay bills in that room. I don't plan my day in that room. I don't manage my grocery list in that room. When I am in that room, I create. There are no reminders of my normal life in that room, and that contributes to allowing my mind to rest. I am a pretty organized person, but my studio is usually pretty messy. I allow it to be that way. When I feel like cleaning it, I will. I am able to forget about the results when I'm in my studio. In her book, Gretchen talks about being able to forget about the results. I'm not able to do that in my daily life, but there are no rules when creating!
If you're following along this month's Hop, you would have arrived from Kimberlee's Blog. Your next stop will be Stephanie's Blog, Scrapworthy Lives. Stephanie, a sociologist and the host of this blog hop, has a great blog. If you don't already subscribe, give it a try. She is always posting something thought provoking.
Below is the entire list of those participating this month. I hope you'll see what each of them has to say about pursiung a passion.
Take a Picture and Remember This
Pie for Breakfast (this is where you are)
Do you have a passion that allows your mind to rest? I don't mean that you totally turn off your brain, but that you allow it to rest by not being consumed in daily life. Believe me, it goes a long way toward a happier life.
My husband and I recently allowed ourselves to turn off our brains by spending a week in a cabin in the Smoky Mountains. It was beautiful and so relaxing. Here's a photo from our trip.

Tonight is going to be a good night for television. After suffering through Rachel on Big Brother for the entire summer, it is coming to an end tonight. It wasn't the best season of Big Brother, but for some reason, I kept watching.
Also, tonight is the first episode of this season's Survivor. It was the very first reality show I watched. I love the mental game that is played, and trying to figure out what each player is really thinking. Anyone else out there watch reality TV? To be honest, it's about all the television I watch except for college sports, of course - which can also be considered reality TV, can't it?
Here's a layout I created using the September C'est Magnifique kit. It's really been a fun month playing with all these goodies!
This is my adorable niece Makenzie. We gave her a tutu for her birthday (and a matching one for her baby). She ripped open the gift, and immediately tried it on. It fit. She did a couple of twirls, then took off for her brother's bedroom to play video games. Hey, it you want to wear a tutu while you're blowing up things, go for it -- especially if you're three years old! Love you, Kenzie.
I'll be participating in a Color Combo Blog Hop Saturday, so be sure to check back. This is the combo we're using. I think it's a very interesting color combination and as of this moment, I have no idea what I'll come up with (and these aren't necessarily the colors that come to mind when I think of sushi).
~~~Valerie
I love long weekends, especially when I have a chance to spend a day in my scrap room. I am working on design team projects for C'est Magnifique Kits, and having a great time doing it! The owner, Leslie, has quite a vision for these kits, and I'm really excited to be part of the team.
The papers this month are from The ScrapCake and when I saw how one of their designers, Yovi, used the lattice paper, I knew I had to cut out the centers. So I pulled out my self healing mat and craft knife and starting cutting. I love the look!
This is my niece, Erika. Isn't she beautiful?
~~~Valerie
Welcome to the Happiness Blog Hop. The coordinator for this event is Stephanie Medley-Rath, author of the Scrapworthy Lives blog (thanks Stephanie). Each month we take a chapter from Gretchen Rubin's book "The Happiness Project: or Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun".
This month we are exploring "Contemplate the Heavens". I wasn't quite sure I how would use this subject until I read this post on the author's blog (you'll never hear the song "You're so Vain" in the same way again). The basis for this chapter in her book was a wonderful quote that I used in my project this month.
I wasn't quite sure how to work this into a scrapbook page, so I decided to get out my paint and my art journal. I love to keep quotes in my art journal, and I needed an excuse to get it out and play. It didn't turn out exactly as I had intended, but it never does. That's why I love art journaling so much, you just can't make an mistake!
Isn't that a great quote? It made me think of all the worthless things in my life. Things that I spend too much time worrying about. You probably have some of those things cluttering your life, too.
If you are following along the blog hop, you probably arrived at my blog from Stephanie's Blog. To continue on your journey, hop on over to the next blog on the list Scraps and Sass.
In case you arrived here by another means, I have listed the entire list of participating blogs below. Feel free to see what take they have on this subject. I am looking forward to seeing how each of them interpreted the topic this month.
For those of you celebrating with a day off work today.........Happy Labor Day!

Thanks for the well wishes for our dog, Kiefer, who was hospitalized last week-end. He is home now and doing much better - getting stronger every day. It seems to be one of those cases where we may never know what caused him to get ill, and that is very frustrating. But we're just glad to have him back with us.
I have had the pleasure of working with the very first kit from C'est Magnifique, and I must say it is amazing. The paper is beautiful and very easy to work with. And since it's from Poland, it's something that is unique, and I like that. Here are a couple of layouts I completed this week:
Kits to subscribers are shipping now. There are few remaining, so if you want one, head over the store and get one for yourself.
