Plugging along on my Christmas-gifting project, documenting a recent family trip, this spread uses two pages from different template albums with stains that cross the gutter over solid background papers. The colors are definitely mish-mashy and in my quest to resist perfectionistic impulses, I am learning to live with pink next to red next to orange next to fluorescent yellow, though sometimes I tone things down within reason with hue/saturation layers. I will probably change the oar when I backtrack to tweak the pages at the end of this project, but for now it's a good reminder that I want “something there.”
