Tip: My tip for you today is simple reminder of what you likely learned in an art class somewhere in your education. It is super effective. Pick a color that is opposite on the color wheel(AKA a complementary color) to that in your picture. Doing so will make the colors in your picture ‘pop’ more and/or make them seem more intense. I did this will the green in the pictures on the first page, I made those pictures stand out more by using the red background.
For the second page, I chose a analogous color or a color next to the main color in the picture (i.e., I chose a different shade of green). By doing this I gave the page a little more serene look and made it a little peaceful for the eye. I added the small bit of the complementary color not only to tie the two pages together but to add just a bit of visual interest to an otherwise very simple page.
Using the color wheel can really help enhance your scrapbook pages.

It was so much fun. That is so neat that you have memories of enjoying strawberry picking. Having grown up in the desert, there was no strawberry picking. I have hoped I am not torturing my children..haha! Thanks for your comments!
Looks like so much fun- I used to love strawberry picking as a kid! The layout turned out so cute!
Yes, yummy for sure! Enjoy when you get to go…don’t forget to take pictures, they usually scrapbook really well.
mmmmmmmmmm looks yummy! We haven’t been this year, must find out when the strawberry fields are open!
It is fun. Thanks so much for your comments.
Thanks so much. I still do ‘traditional’ albums as well as digital. It is still fun to use real paper and create.
very fun pages. I love strawberries but have never gotten to go picking. how fun.
Hi! I haven’t tried digital scrapbooking. I made a lot of the old fashioned scrapbooks when my children were little. Your pages are so pretty! Thanks for stopping by!
