Congrats! I have sent you the sign up details by e-mail. See you in class!

Exciting news! I have one spot to giveaway to a lucky reader for the Picture the Holidays Class with Tracey Clark at Big Picture Classes. This is a $36 value! You’ll get some great photos to record the Holidays and use in your Christmas albums or scrapbook pages. Here’s some more about the class:

Picture the Holidays with Tracey Clark

Another 31 Days of Festive Photography with Tracey Clark

About the Class

Spend this December taking inspired, artful photographs of the world around you, during the most wonderful time of the year. Picture the Holidays has been reframed and refreshed for 2013, with new prompts and new pictures to help you creatively and mindfully celebrate this season of joy!

This 31-day workshop, from photographer and author Tracey Clark, is the perfect remedy for the holiday hustle.

Every morning, you’ll receive a seasonal photo prompt that will not only inspire your inner photographer, but will also encourage you to take a few moments to yourself to get creatively centered before the day’s festivities begin. Inside the classroom, you’ll also find a class creed, holiday photography tip sheet, live blog, active student gallery, and supportive classroom message board.

Learn more and register here

The class starts December 1st, so this is a quick one! Leave a comment below telling me if you take part in Black Friday shopping and why (or why not!). I’ll draw a winner tomorrow November 30th, and get the lucky person all set up with the class.

Thanks Big Picture Classes!

    Yes, I participate in Black Friday sales…..from home:) When I had littles, before it was crazy, I did go out into the masses for the great deals. Now nope. And not on Thanksgiving!:) Hope your Thanksgiving was blessed!
    Thank you.

    The only black Friday I have taken part in over the past few years was to go to the fabric store. Not a crazy crowd and the shoppers are all calm.

    Waow! This class sounds fun and inspiring.
    I took a chance at shopping some scrapbooking stuff on black friday. As the shipping fee is not really free, I had a good bargain at the end thanks to the sale.

    Thanks for the chance to win! Since I live in Sweden there isn´t really a Black Friday, but I do buy some digital products during the sales!

    I typically do not do Black Friday…usually Saturday, but mostly by Internet! I just hate crowds and since we have never been after a door buster, I don’t see the point. However, last night we were lured into Kohls on the way home from Thanksgiving dinner with 2 $10 coupons….however did not spend on gifts, we let the kids pick out new pillows and snugglie soft blankets…made for a fun family adventure.

    I am afraid that I do NOT hit the physical stores on Black Friday! I do shop on-line! Thanks for the chance to win.

    I was not planning on it but…my 4 year old just asked if I could take her to the store to buy a t shirts that she could decorate. Matching shirts 1 for her and 1 for her Dad : ) I am not sure I can resist even on Black Friday.

    I don’t even leave the house on Black Friday. Honestly, it’s the parking that drives me crazy! But this class sounds awesome and would really help me with my first December Daily.

    I don’t usually go out on Black Friday although I might wander into one of the crafts stores later on today. thanks for the chance.

    I have a kid who is very active. Shopping in general is a task, but shopping on a crowded day is even harder. So, I do not do physical shopping on Black Fridays. Only online.
    Thank you

    Each year I head out to the fabric and art store starting at 6am before I am due at work at 9am! I always manage to replenish my supplies and pick up a few gifts at unbelievable prices! Thank you for a chance in the giveaway! Happy Holidays!

  12. Olga Kotlyarova says

    I love Black Friday )) I do online shopping – caft goodies (of course!) and some stuff for my little daughter)
    Would be great to win, thank you for the chance!

    I normally don’t do shopping on Black Fridays because in Poland where I live we don’t have this tradition – there are no special offers on this day. That said, I went shopping today and bought myself a new dress 😉
    Thanks for this giveaway – I love Tracey’s classes!
    Have a great holiday season!

    No shopping but Christmas decorations go up! Happy holidays!

    I don’t need anything that badly to stand in line for hours. I do my shopping during the year and keep everything in a special box until Christmas time.

    No, I don’t shop on Black Friday, unless there is a very specific item (one year we bought our tv, but I sent my husband out for it, and that was all we got). Sometimes I’ll go later in the day, but I just don’t want to get up early and deal with crazy people that take stuff out of your cart!

  17. Elina says

    We don’t have Black Friday here in Finland, but I wouldn’t go shopping when everywhere is full of people.

  18. Lee says

    November 30, 2013 at 5:51 am

    I support small business shopping on Sat and do some cyber Monday,… no black Friday shopping for me! thanks!

  19. Em Kay says

    November 30, 2013 at 8:46 am

    I don’t participate in Black Friday shopping. I try to get most of my shopping done earlier taking advantage of sales all year long!

10 Modern Rainbow Scrapbook Layout Templates for Single Photos

There’s something wonderfully uplifting about rainbow-themed scrapbook pages — they add instant joy, a sense of hope, and that lovely feeling of “better days ahead.” But not everyone wants the classic curved rainbow we all grew up drawing in kindergarten. Modern scrapbookers are leaning into geometric rainbows, with clean arches, bold shapes, layered semi-circles, and minimalist lines. And honestly, they look stunning on a page.

This new set of 10 single-photo scrapbook layout sketches combines that modern rainbow aesthetic with simple, clean design ideas that are perfect for everyday memory-keeping. Whether you’re documenting a milestone, a quiet moment, a favourite snapshot, or even a healing chapter of your life, these layouts allow the rainbow to act as a symbolic backdrop without overwhelming the page.

Each layout includes space for one photo — because sometimes that ONE image tells the whole story.

Use these rainbow sketches for:
• kids’ artwork and school photos
• birthdays
• bright outdoor memories
• “first day / last day” pages
• mental health or personal growth journaling
• celebration of small wins
• Pride-themed layouts
• baby and toddler albums
• anything that feels colourful, hopeful, or meaningful

Here’s a look at what you’ll find in this modern geometric set:

––––––––––––––––––––––
Layout 1 – Half-Rainbow Arch Behind a Central Photo
Simple, bold, and great for patterned paper lovers.

Layout 2 – Layered Semi-Circle Stack
A modern twist that looks incredible with textured cardstock or tone-on-tone colours.

Layout 3 – Offset Rainbow Bands + Journaling Strip
Asymmetrical but balanced — perfect for candid photos.

Layout 4 – Triple Geometric Arches in a Vertical Column
A clean, fresh layout with lots of white space.

Layout 5 – Bold Oversized Rainbow + Minimal Embellishment
Your photo becomes the centrepiece while the rainbow adds gentle framing.

Layout 6 – Rainbow Layer Cluster Behind a Tilted Photo
Adds instant movement and energy.

Layout 7 – Concentric Semi-Circle Trio + Title Banner
Very modern and perfect for scrapbooking boys, teens, and minimalist pages.

Layout 8 – Soft Arched Shapes + Bottom Journaling Panel
A gentle, calming design ideal for quiet or meaningful stories.

Layout 9 – Rainbow Block Background
A more graphic layout that uses straight-edged shapes inspired by rainbow palettes.

Layout 10 – Chunky Rainbow With Clean Title Placement
A bold design that’s perfect for showcasing a favourite photograph.

––––––––––––––––––––––
How to Use These Modern Rainbow Sketches

  • Use tone-on-tone papers for a subtle, sophisticated look
    • Try patterned paper for rainbow bands — stripes, dots, grids, or watercolour prints
    • Keep embellishments minimal to let the geometric shapes shine
    • Add stitching (real or faux) along the arches for texture
    • Use cardstock scraps to create a rainbow without cutting into new sheets
    • Match your colours to the emotion of the photo — bright for happy moments, muted for reflective ones

What I love most about modern rainbow layouts is how versatile they are. These designs can feel playful, peaceful, bold, or soft depending on your colour choices. And because each sketch only uses one photo, you can easily create a whole rainbow-themed album without feeling creatively overwhelmed.

If you use these sketches, tag CraftGossip on Facebook or Instagram — I adore seeing how you all interpret these designs in your own style.
