03/04/19 - "Use Your Stuff" Challenge # 349

The "Use Your Stuff" challenge this week is all about rainbows!

I created a Traveler's Notebook spread with photos my son posted on his Instagram for "National Coming Out Day".

Can't get more Rainbow than that, LOL!

Also, even though I didn't know it at the time, this spread will work for the latest Lisa and Lori's Traveler's Notebook Challenge which is to create a layout about someone you love and include a heart.

It's a new challenge blog so if you get the chance, go check it out!

Two 2x3 photos, a rain drop patterned paper, a pocket page card, and a few scattered embellishments was all I needed to create this two-pager.
The BG paper is Amy Tangerine (it's been in my stash approximately 3 years), the "authentic you" sticker is Pink Fresh Studio, and the staples are from Tim Holtz' Tiny Attacher; one of my new favorite scrappy tools.
Everything else is from Elle's Studio.

It's been a while since I've created a Traveler's Notebook layout, and I had forgotten just how much I enjoy it! Though I am clearly out of practice, as I discovered when I cut the paper for the 2nd page a little bit too narrow.
It could also be the timing of the creation of my layout.
Though I had the idea in my head for a few days, I didn't create it until the last minute.
We went away for the weekend and I came home and created this when we got back, when I was tired and just wanting to rest from my weekend adventures...
So I didn't spend a lot of time on it, nor is it very creative, but the colorful style of it gives it a fun feel and despite the seriousness of the topic, fun is what I was going for.
I think when you're going for fun, and colorful, rainbows are definitely the way to go!

I hope you'll join us!
