Most of the scrapbook examples I've seen online look so uniform, imo. Same papers or same colors, same sized borders, etc. I'm really not about that. But I'm worried that what I'm planning to do will be too crazy.
My fancy papers are all different colors. I've picked papers that go with each other for the same page, but they're still different. Like, I'll have cool colors together, or warm colors together, or "girly" colors together, but these fancy papers are all vibrant designs. I was planning on these papers for a thick border around the pictures.
I am also planning to do a thin border of solid cardstock around each picture, but again not all the same color. (So you have photo, thin solid border, then thick patterned border) I want to use cardstock colors that match a color in the fancy paper, so on one page, for example, there might be a photo with a thin pink border and fancy paper border with pink flowers on it, and another photo with a yellow thin border and fancy paper with yellow swirls in it. Too crazy?
The consistency is going to come from having the same black background, and all rectangles (I decided against ovals for various reasons) and the same font and neutral cardstock for the quotes.
For more consistency, should I also make sure all my fancy borders are the same thickness? Or would it look alright to have a big picture with a medium sized border, and a small one with a thicker one? Or is my whole plan just going to end up being a big mess with too many different colors?
