Myth #1
All collage layouts are brown.
design by Christine Brown
Since being introduced to scrapbookers, collage designs have mainly been limited to monochromatic, neutral color schemes — think brown. But we can’t always scrapbook in a neutral color scheme. That works well with heritage photos and some travel photos, but it doesn’t always work well with pictures from everyday life. When I’m scrapbooking, I prefer to use colors that coordinate with or reflect the mood in my photos, and sometimes those colors are bright.
