Here’s another money saving idea for scrapbooking.  Do you save your scraps from all those pricey but beautiful scrapbooking papers?  I sure do.  A great way to use some of them up is to create your own design by colour or pattern blocking.  Simply cut out random squares or other shapes from your scraps in matching colour families (this can also include an array of patterns in complimentary colours).  Then glue onto a plain paper, interweaving with your photo layout to create a wonderful theme all your own.  If your scraps work well as a quilt, don’t bother using a background colour.  Let your imagination rule.   That’s unique!

To make sure your colours are matched effectively and to make your layout perfect – try using this great colour matching tool that I’ve grown to love!
