Rainbow Days - My Creative Scrapbook

 Hello everyone!

I'm sharing my first layout with the beautiful January Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook. This awesome kit featured the American Crafts Go The Scenic Route by Paige Evans. But did you know that each month you also get access to fabulous cut files from PearTree Cut Files? This month, one of the cut files was a rainbow. It goes perfectly with the colorful Go The Scenic Route pattern papers. Having said goodbye to my 18 1/2 year old faithful dog Satchel last month, I knew I wanted to scrap a layout about him. 

I love the contrast of the bright pattern paper against the black cardstock background. With the acrylic paint dripping from the rainbow, it's like the rainbow is weeping. I backed the cut file with all the colors of the rainbow.

I fussy cut a bunch of butterflies out of pattern paper and stitched down the center of each one. The dangling threads give them motion. 

I kept other embellishments to a minimum, just a few puffy sticker hearts and dots

This was a difficult layout to do. I cried buckets of tears while making this. I still find myself looking under my desk for him. He was my shadow for so long.

I do have a process video up in my YouTube channel if you are interested in more details about how I created this layout.
