This week, our Scrapbook layout comes from The Rainbow Page by Catherine Davis:

I absolutely fell in love with Catherine's scrapbook layout when it first appeared in the gallery and I may have squealed a bit when it appeared in my inbox as one of my sketch possibilities. It's simplicity is perfectly suited for cardmaking so I jumped at the chance to use it for inspiration. I began by layering the background with some wonky strips of paper from the Arendal paper pad. I then covered the background with a roughed up piece of vellum and a nest of white thread for some added texture, before placing the framed mini chalkboard in the center of the card. I built a small sentiment with the gorgeous Love Tickets stamp set and stamped that in white pigment ink onto the black card stock. The final touch was to add a few valentine themed word stickers from Carolina Moon's Lauren Add-on. Before adhering it all into place, I couldn't help but spend a little time sewing some horizontal lines across the card front. Nothing ever seems finished to me now until it has a bit of stitching on it.
