For this page, my color choices were inspired by the restaurant business card that I wanted to include (on the left page). I found all the filler and journaling cards I used in the Studio Calico Alfresco Documenter kit. Then I used a variety of embellishments from different companies: mostly Simple Stories but also Scraptastic and Gossamer Blue.
The card above is definitely a favorite. It has a great graphic design and it brings the colors in the spread together. Here is one more look at the pages once placed in my album:
Note: If you saw my previous post, you know that the left side page protector is actually the back of a folded 12x12 page (Design A) and I wanted to point out that you can't even tell from looking at this spread ;)
Tips/Ideas:
- use memorabilia as inspiration for your color combination
- forgo the weekly date marker if you want to! (you can always add a date on a photo or two for context)
- mix borderless photos and photos with a white border for variety or to distinguish between events
Thank you for stopping by! Have a fabulous weekend!

I just sat looking at this spread for a good five minutes ... it's just so lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good not just at picking colours for your pages to suit the photos, but in balancing them so that the eye travels round the page and the whole hangs together so nicely. What Ruth said!
