Ooops! Unfortunately we printed the wrong sketch in the August issue - I blame the scrapbook gremlins (ahem). So if you're wondering why the layouts don't match the sketch pad, that's why! We're very sorry for the mix up, and without further ado, we bring you Mary Anne's fabby sketch:

Have you been inspired to give it a go? We'd very much like to see your layouts! Get in touch by email, scrapbookinspirations@futurenet.co.uk or post a link in the comments below.

Fancy learning a new crafty skill? Why not try crocheting your own mini rainbows to embellish layouts and mini books?

You may have spotted Jen Van Cauter's digital layout in the June issue of ScrapBook inspirations which featured a wonderful vibrant design by rainbow-pro Enfys. Enfys has very generous put together a detailed tutorial so you can make your own crochet rainbows.

There are two patterns, one for small rainbows and one for larger ones. The patterns are quite long so we've saved them as a PDF.

The Rainbow PDF
The PDF is 6.6MB so it may take a little while to download. Need help? Get downloading tips here.

You can also visit Enfys' MSN group to see tutorials for both the small rainbow and larger version.

If you're a crochet newbie, try this helpful guide to getting started.

Finally, if like me you find crochet endlessly baffling(!) you can buy ready-made crochet lovelies from Enfys - phew!

We'd love to see your crochet rainbows or any indeed any ubercrafty embellishments you've been making. Leave a comment below, or email me at the usual address: scrapbookinspirations@futurenet.co.uk. Thank you!
