The layout is about Firestone Farm as it looked in the 1880's. We never miss a stop here on our visits to Greenfield Village. There's always plenty going on, yet the pace is relaxed and unhurried. I chose to work with olive tones to give the layout a nostalgic, old-fashioned feeling. The white scallop border and coral floral patterns provide contrast and variety.
You can see more examples of different colors and the emotional responses they tend to trigger in the article here. Interesting topic to consider the next time you are choosing colors for your layout!
Very interesting to think about. I don't ever purposely choose a certain color, but many times the end result makes it seem like I did. LOL! I love your page and the old-fashioned look you created, especially with the colors and the patchwork looking design at the bottom. :)
ReplyDeletelove the layout sue! the feel of the paper certainly matches the feel from the photos!

Perfect colors for your photos and the mood you are setting. Really like the mixed type and shades of green title. So nice to have a favorite place you can visit again and again.
ReplyDeleteLove the green and pink together. I've used bright colors to convey energy and fun. Other than that, I haven't thought about it too much. I'll have to read the article! tfs
ReplyDeletePretty color mixing here, Sue. I am only semi-conscious of the color of the paper when I scrap, but I guess it does tie into the mood or feeling it evokes when I am choosing the ones to use. I love color, so I really try and mix it up.
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a relaxing color & layout - makes me want to stop there & relax a while.
ReplyDeleteThe pink and green really work well together!
