Hi ,
 
While recently flipping though Better Homes magazine, a design article caught my eye. It was entitled "34 Secrets to Choosing and Using Color," and I brought away one particular technique that applies instantly to scrapbookers.

Color Trail PagesThe tip explained that you should use the main color in one room as an accent color in the room joining it. In the scrapbooking world that translates to taking a color from one page to the next.

Whether you create bonded albums or slip your scrapbook pages inside the page protectors of a post bound album, your pages will always have a buddy on the other side.
 
So consider adding a little harmony to the set by taking the main color on one page and using it as the accent color on the page beside it.

According to the professionals, this little tip leaves behind a trail of color success.
 
Have a great week, friend.
