Deb asked recently about how to color coordinate your scrapbook page. We’ve spoken a little about choosing colors before (Use the search box on the right column to find posts, and check out Choosing Color Schemes.)

However, since those articles were written, online color matching has moved on at a great pace. I noticed recently that Scrapbook.com have an online photo match and color wheel you can use -and you don’t have to sign up to use it!

Now that may well be old news to you, but have you tried it? I’ve only just found it and thought it was great, so I’m writing this in case, like me, you didn’t know about it. There is also a video to show you how to use it – and it’s very easy. The links above or below will take you there.

For the photo match option, upload your photograph (the video shows you how) and the system will select a color scheme and suggest products that match.

The other thing I thought clever was that I could give a product and it would show coordinating supplies from their lists. So if I was looking for things that worked together, or to go with something I already had, it could suggest a match. Obviously Scrapbook.com want to sell things, but it’s like this is their equivalent of a friendly, helpful  member of staff at a local scrapbook store.

So if you are wondering how to color coordinate your scrapbook page, or are just looking for another product to match something you already have and need a little something else to set it off, then try scrap by color at Scrapbook.com. Have fun scrapping!

Using Melissa Renfro's Perpetual Calendar

2010 Calendar WEB

I made our family calendars this year using Melissa Renfro’s perpetual calendar, a digital layout template from ScrapGirls.

I found it very easy to use with a large selection of layout plans, some fun little images denoting birthdays, anniversaries and holidays, and ready to use grids for each month. I just had to select the photographs I wanted to use and drop them into the templates, then make sure I chose the correct monthly grid and it was ready!

Lifted Photos Enhance your Layouts

wm MRE SSEmb LiftedDoubles MKTG 600

Are you fed up with flat photographs in your digital scrapbooking layouts? Then we have the solution for you … let lifted photos enhance your layouts.

What am I talking about? You know how photos look when you get them back from processing or when you print them yourself? They are not flat but slightly bent. Then after a while they curl the other way slightly and sometimes turn up at the edges. These bends and curls create shadows around the photographs.

Personalize your Calendars

by Genie on December 3, 2008

in Supplies

01Jan webI’ve been making calendars for my family for a long time now. It started when we lived overseas and the Grandmas missed the growing years of our young children, so a personalized calendar was just what they needed to keep up to date. This was long before I knew about scrapbooking, and long before digital photography, the internet and photo-sharing were around.
