Rainbow of Craftiness!

Hello, Simple Stories Fans! Jana Eubank [1] here with a layout using the Crafty Girl collection.

I love the rainbow striped "Handmade" paper from this collection and decided to use a large vertical strip to anchor my photos as part of my page design. To accent the edges of the strip, I ran it through my sewing machine on a zig-zag stitch setting without any thread loaded into the machine. The pierced pattern left behind is subtle, but interesting!

Next, I played off the rainbow scheme to create a colorful title for my page using a block font and my Silhouette Cameo electronic die cutting machine. I used scraps of paper from my stash to back each of the letters. I fussy-cut the cluster of flowers from one of the 4X6 Horizontal Elements cards.

My photos are matted on silver foil cardstock, with a larger bottom margin to look like polaroid frames. I used the scallop border sticker from the Combo Sticker sheet to anchor the photos and embellishments at the bottom of the page.

I love stacking the Bits & Pieces die cuts together with the Chipboard stickers to create dimensional clusters. 

Have you tried a rainbow color scheme on a layout recently?!

Thanks for stopping by today. Happy Scrapping!
