mis-match?

[dreams91]

Okay, I'm bad at matching colors (not on the clothes I wear) on scrapbooks. So...I've seen people talk about a 'color wheel' before. What is it? Would it benefit me? and where can I get one? Mikes?

I'm pretty sure I saw them at both ACM & Mike's around Christmas. I don't use one, but have seen it used on various DIY Scrapbooking episodes. Just last week Joy MacDonell from EK Success was on & showed how she used it to change the look of a LO.

Here's a link to the description/instructions: http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/cr_scrapbooking/article/0,2025,DIY_13776_3100302,00.html

On this page, you can see the LO & what happened by changing the colors used.

I found one at Target.

Buy it at Target if you can. Same exact wheel, some company... few dollars cheaper than Michael's. I also feel that I am color challenged so I bought the wheel. It wasn't exactly a HUGE help, but it does get me over the hump sometimes!..................P

Thanks for the info. Would it be in the scrapbooking section at Target?

Bought mine in the SB section at Target about 6 months ago. I don't remember how much...maybe $5.

Just an FYI, Bazzil just recently came out with a great color wheel, it uses all their cardstock colors, by name I believe, so it's easy to be sure you're buying the color cardstock you need to match. My LSS sells these.

Just noticed the Bazzil one at my LSS last night. I did not check the price. If you have one, do you find it pretty useful? I guess I normally match my paper to the photos, but it seems like a color wheel would help as well.
