A wee sneak, and Lisa's awesome colour theory class

I used to make layouts with a lot of colour , the brighter, the better. I was a big fan of matching different neon-ish shades of cardstock with little strips of patterned paper, like this:

 Then something switched in my brain and I started making pages with less colour, more white, and less STUFF. I think it was the result of DT overload, (even though these are technically "minimal", simple pages, they're much busier than the pages I tend to do now) and I needed to just make really simple layouts after my years of being on design teams and having to use said stuff. I still really love these pages, don't get me wrong. I've just gotten away from that look, and am now comfortably used to my white cardstock. If I had to pick only one product to scrapbook with for the rest of eternity, it would be white cardstock, hands down. So when I opened up this month's Studio Calico scrapbook kit, Office Hours, (available February 27th) and saw the luscious bright pink cardstock ( one that I already had several sheets of in my stash, go figure) I knew I had to use it on my layouts, if only in tinier quantities. Here's a sneak of a page I did for March's gallery, and I felt like I'd gone back to my roots. :) Had lots of fun with this page.

Anyways, this brings me to the Colour Studio class, coming up on March 1st at SC.
