Storytelling With The Rainbow Scrapbook Kit | No. 4

Welcome back to another idea post for the Rainbow Scrapbook Kit.

Today's project is a simple one-page layout that tells a short story about a recent Mexico trip and incorporates the fun plastic rainbow pieces from the kit on a clear plastic flip up.

Let's dive in:

Here are some additional images of this project:

Today's layout is built on a piece of white cardstock (cut to 7 inches x 8.25 inches). I set up my journaling in Photoshop and then printed that out here at home as a foundation for my photo collage.

My photo collage is about 5.5 inches x 5 inches. I printed it on an 8.5x11 sheet of photo paper and left a white border when cutting it out. I cut a piece of Grafix Transparency to the same size as my photo collage with the border.

To create the flip up I used a couple sticker tabs (these were part of a past One Little Word® Mini Kit) folded over and then stapled to the cardstock.

On top of the transparency I stapled the four pieces of the plastic rainbow I had remaining from the kit (I used the smallest one on yesterday's project). I used a Tiny Attacher to staple each piece along the bottom.

I had a couple pieces of ephemera from the concert that I considered incorporating and was super excited to find that the fabric braclet fit perfectly between the smallest part of the rainbow. I adhered that with red line tape.

Here's a look at it flipped up:
