If  I cannot find just the right color mix to be effective, I bring out my paints and paint them to match my layout theme.  One thing’s for sure.  Nothing is wasted in my scrapbooking area.

Many times it is these simple, inexpensive but creative techniques that are the most interesting in your layouts.
