SB'ers Color Wheel??

[grover]

Anyone here use a color wheel for help with their scrapbooking? I am thinking about picking one up tonite, I like layouts where there is a combo of colors sometimes but after 2 colors I usually find myself stuck!!! I wonder what part of Micheals would have them-painting section you think??

Hi Grover,

Not sure about Michaels, but ACMoores near me now have them in the scrap paper isle. I think your right about Michaels. You coould always ask someone. Don't forget to use your 30% off tonight.

Yep --
I use a color wheel (not an expert yet - just beginning). I bought mine at the LSS where I work, but I have seen them in Michael's in the fine art/painting section.

I don't use a color wheel but have found the packs of cropping blocks invaluable! Lets you take lots of colors, often many shades and layer them in different ways without drowning in big sheets of paper/card stock.

Since most photos are 4x6 (or smaller once cropped) they work most of the time. If I have enlargements or know I'm going to be doing an extended layout once I select my colors I can take the cards to LSS and select the larger pieces. LSS carries them in plastic cases (which are archival and reusable for scraps!) and I saw them last Friday at Hobby Lobby in bound form.

P.S. DH bought me an Ott-lite for my b-day in January and I've found it to be incredibly helpful in the color selection process. Really brings the colors out in the photos and helps see subtle differences in the papers!
