William Wordsworth once wrote: "My Heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky."

Oh how true it is! The child in all of us, as do the children all around us, love to stop and gaze and the wonder of colour in the sky, usually piercing through somber grey clouds. It brings a light into your heart and life and gives you a new hope for tomorrow.

This week, the ladies of the digital creative team worked hard to create layouts that demonstrated the beauty and awesomeness of the magnificent rainbow. Each of their pages brought a whole lot of joy and peace to my face as I looked at them, and I'm sure they will to you too!

Bee Happy, by Pegster

"It was great working with these great colors. Many different ways to use them and they brighten up the layout so much."

Treasure at the End of My Rainbow, by sarahwhithers

"For the Digi CT Reveal this week, it's about rainbows! Or at least a variety of colours. The more colours you use, the brighter the page can be!"

Sand Art, by Smiley-Scrap8

"This week we are showing off rainbows, how to use many colors on one layout. This was fun, and not something I normally do. I tend to stick with just 3 colors and all of my elements and paper and even my photos have these colors in there somewhere. But for this I chose some pretty colorful paper and made the photos b&w. I think if I had kept the photos in colors they just would have popped as much off the colorful paper."

Rainbow Wedding, by Art_Teacher

"Our reveal this week was about rainbows and I immediately thought of my wedding! LOL! Can you tell I was young and very unsophisticated? One of the things I love about this layout was how easy it was to do with Kim Hill's template (I would never have taken the time to 'cut' all those circles, but with the template it is an easy process), and how nice it was to use Marci's (HotFlashDesigns) pastel paper packs to achieve a unified look with all the patterned papers!"

Clogs, by Keling

"When you have a picture that is bright, but you're just not sure how to scrap, a rainbow of colours usually works! However, I prefer to use a neutral coloured background, instead of something really busy."

Rainbow of Happiness, by Janello

"Rainbows are so inspiring and you can't help but get excited when you see a real one in nature. I love to add that same excitement to my layouts by using all the colors in the rainbow. In this layout I used various ric-rac peices to incorporate the various rainbow colors, I think it adds a happy touch."

Be You, by nun69

"it's all about rainbow colors this week and I LOVE the combo of the red, teal/blue and yellow!!!! This is Abby enjoying some watermelon!!!"

My First Tooth, by jjenni08

"There are so many ways to use color in a layout. You can mix and match papers from different kits, from the same kits, or whatever. You do not have to stick to one major color. Be adventurous and mix it up!"

Chicken Dance, by MamaK321

"A rainbow of colors plays well with the funky theme of this layout!"

Today Was Good, Today Was Fun, by FairyMouseMom

"How lucky I was to find that Julie Mead's papers worked great for these pictures of my daughter and her friend. I then added some embellishments from different designers that worked well with the rainbow colors of the paper and came up with this colorful layout."
