from this combination of colors:
to the actual products
Fast forward 20 years, and now I just make my own little color samples. I put together a new 'Color Idea' book over the weekend. It's an index card book, that I made a quick cover for (must love random stickers and left over rub-ons!!) and started adding little squares of paper. Combos that I want to remember next time I need a creative spark of inspiration. :) and it's only 3x5 inches, perfect fit for in my bag so I can take notes when I'm out and about.

So, the next time you're at Target look for a little index book. I also made one for Sketches, I'll share the contents of that one later. Happy weekend!

What a great little book. Your blog and your photos are so inspiring and so full of great color! I may have to make one of these little books for myself!
oh!!!! THis is a fantastic idea. I have one of those books, too. And I have so many times lost an idea 'cause I couldn't make it to the scrap table quick enough. {ya know, two days later!}

I came to you from Shimelle's party. I've done the coloured paper squares in the past but I've never thought of using a small book for it. I'm off to start right now.
Thank you.
