In 9 years of organizing my scrapbooks this way, the only downside I've discovered is once you've started a scheme for the year, you have to stay committed to it even if you don't really like it anymore. (In the end, what does it really matter?)
Here's the collection I started with:
Lots of leftovers, obviously. I used a few bits for accents, but mostly I stuck to my tried-and-true solid colors. And his scheme for this year? Red, kraft, black and white.
I love these! How long does it take you to do a page? Do you have the photos all selected beforehand or do you print them as you go? Sorry that I'm picking your brain! :)
