Colour my world mini album
Ever made a colour my world mini album? For a different twist on
mini albums a book based on the different colours in your life is a great idea.
Scrap a one or two page layout per colour. You can organise it in a number of
different ways depending on the number of photos you already have with a
variation of colour.
"The best color
in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you!"

Favourite Colours
Make an album of your favourite colours (even if this means only
one colour) Select photos or pictures from magazines etc of stuff using these
colours. The photos or pictures do not necessarily need to be of your favourite
items. Use scrap pieces of different shades of colour and patterns throughout
the album.
Rainbow
If you're not sure which colours to use just use all the colours
of the rainbow including black and white
Choose photos where one colour is dominant or if you have photo
editing software you can make your prints black and white and highlight the
selected colour like the red santa hat in black an white photos of kids that we
see so often.
Favourite Stuff
Make a list of your most favourite items or choose those select
items that make you who you are. EG. The lipstick you are never caught dead
without, your running shorts or shoes, your business card, etc. Pick
photos that give a good variation of colour. You may find you will have to get
the camera out and take some pictures to make up for those that you don't have.
Childrens books
Alter a childrens board book and turn it into a book of colours
to aid in teaching your child about colour. A one or two page layout
would be perfect. Use bright bold colours that really stand out. .
Using characters from their favourite T.V. Shows is a good
source of colour material. Eg. Sesame Street has a huge range of characters of
different colours. Cookie monster = Blue; Big Bird = Yellow; Elmo = Red; Ernie =
Orange; Oscar = Green; The Count = Purple
