So Many Reasons to Smile | Hip Kit Club | Colour Challenge

 

Hi everyone, here is my latest layout for Hip Kit Club! I’m using the May kits and have been playing along with this week’s challenge which is a Color Challenge: to use rainbow colours! What an awesome challenge!

You can find the May Hip Kits on the Hip Kit Club website here: https://www.hipkitclub.net/may-2021

And you can play along with the weekly challenges over on the Hip Kit Club Group on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1517288525193552

I choose to go for a yellow background – I love scrapbooking with yellow, it’s so bright and happy and I am always drawn towards it. I created a folded down section at the top and then I backed the yellow sheet with white card. This gave me a good area of white space on the layout to work with.

I cut my photo into a circle shape and then went to town with my circle punches, cutting out all those fabulous circles from the Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Real paper. I added these to my layout, raised on foam pads. There are big ones and little ones and every size in between! I also added some punched stars from the Pinkfresh Studio rainbow striped paper. I dotted these in between the circles. I also used enamel dots to fill in any gaps.

I added a rainbow title using Paige Evans phrase Thickers: So Many Reasons to Smile. What a wonderful title. I embellished the circles with phrase ephemera from Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Read, added machine stitching around the outside of the yellow background and finished with splatters of white paint.

I really love how this turned out. Can I tell you a secret though? I looked at the wrong week for my challenge and actually made this layout for last week’s recipe challenge (squares, triangles, stars and circles) by accident – oops! Luckily it totally fitted the rainbow colour theme as I have ALL the colours on this layout!

Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping
