Having a nightmare and I'm only on the second page, lol.

I've got some pics of the venue so want that to be next in the album. I've changed my papers 4 times already and have now settled on cardstock with some painted letters. Still not sure though, lol. I've been at it all day and really thought I'd have got it finished today.

Ho hum! This is gonna be a long job methinks. Rolling Eyes

Maybe Kim. You know me, lol. I'm not used to scrapping inanimate objects, lol. As for the papers, thanks for the offer but no thanks hun. I'm not a fan of all over florals unless they're small and vintage looking.

I think I've discovered what my problem is. I had in mind an album that was pale in colour..beige's, creams, etc and have bought papers accordingly. But, I've limited myself and I think that's where I'm struggling. Even though they're all similar in colour, when I want to layer up, nothing actually matches.

I've just been looking through my stash for some inspiration and I have shed loads of gorgeous papers. OK, they're not wedding themed per se, but they are lovely colours and patterns.

So, I've decided to use them. I'm not going to limit myself to a colour scheme. It will be an eclectically designed album but I'm sure, much prettier in the end.

What do you think? Shall I beef it up or stick with boring pale colours?

Go with the colour idea, Lorraine. I did a mini-album for my great-nephew when he got married and did it in aqua and brown - didn't even match with things like the bridesmaids' dresses!
