Step 1: Use a piece of White Solid Cardstock (or a White Refill Page) as the base for this layout.
Step 2: Create the rainbow using the Circle Cutter. Set the Circle Cutter at its largest size (about 11-3/4″) and cut a circle with blue tonal hydrangeas paper. Without moving the Circle Cutter, mark your spot with a pencil. Set the size to 9-1/2″, align with your mark and cut out the inner circle. Repeat with the green layered blocks paper, setting the outer circle at 9-3/4″ and the inner circle at 7-1/2″. Repeat with the yellow tonal scattered field mustard paper, setting the outer circle at 7-3/4″ and the inner circle at 5-1/2″. Finally, repeat with the pink layered blocks paper, setting the outer circle at 5-3/4″ and the inner circle at 3-1/2″. Layer and adhere the circles: pink on yellow on green on blue. Cut the rainbow in half. Place one half on the upper half of the layout. (Save the other half for another layout!)
Step 3: Cut two 5-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ pieces of pink layered blocks paper and mount two 5-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ photos. Adhere to the layout.
Step 4: Set the Circle Cutter to 4″ and cut a circle with pink plaid paper. Cut a photo into a 3-1/2″ circle and mount on the pink plaid circle. Adhere to the layout.
Step 5: Cut a 12″ x 1/2″ strip of yellow tonal scattered field mustard paper and adhere to the bottom of the layout.
Step 6: Punch several leaves from various green papers using the Spring Leaf Punch and Five Leaf Punch. Adhere to the bottom of the rainbow along with foiled flower embellishments as shown. Use Foam Squares on some foiled flower embellishments for added dimension.
Step 7: Journal as desired.

This layout is adorable; the colors and composition are perfect.
If you do not use the circle cutter – but you have the CCS circles or the Jumbo circle what would be the dimensions to cut this layout? Very pretty.
Thank you! The dimensions of each circle are above. If you’re using the custom cutting system instead, you can use the guides that come with the patterns to determine which blades and patterns to use that will be closest.
Thank you so much! I really like this layout and I want to give it a try, Have a good week.
