Choosing a color scheme for your layout
As a scrapbooker, I must admit I’m not always as creative as I should be when it comes to selecting a color scheme for my layout. I tend to gravitate towards monochromatic schemes, just because using dark and light shades of the same color is basically goof proof. But, lately I’ve been trying to challenge myself to be a bit more daring with my color choices. Here are a few sources of inspiration I’ve found helpful.
- Paint color samples
- Fabric swatches
- Fashion magazines
- Advertisements
An artist’s color wheel, found with the painting supplies at Hobby Lobby or any other craft store, is also a helpful tool for choosing layout color schemes. Feel free to mix and match various combinations until you find something that inspires you!

I like have a generic color scheme for my albums, but always throw in some splashes of color here and there. I like doing it that way, but I always try to to have fun!
