Re: Colors of Scrapping
I just really struggle with red and green. I hate doing Christmas layouts because of it unless/until I can find a line I really like. I LOVE the recent Echo Park Christmas line because it's a darker richer green and red with black and grey. I was SO excited! I just can't do red and green together! It has to be the darker earthier colors. 

I don't HATE pastels but I don't tend to use them unless I'm doing a baby page, and even then I'll add some sort of bright pop of color or a dark neutral - like a black or brown, to warm it up and add depth. 

I can't really think of any color I haven't scrapped with, but there are not a lot of purples in my recent stuff. I did a lot of purple in my first ever album which was my wedding album, cause lavendar was one of our colors, but I just tend to not use a lot of purples. Not because I don't like it, just because I usually have other colors I want to use. I do use it some tho, usually on pages about me since it's one of my favorite colors. 

What i REALLY dislike is anything plain looking. Solid color thin paper with no detail. I like using CS as a background and that's fine, but just flat looking solid colors all over bother me. I prefer a solid colored PP that has some sort of visual texture to it - like an orange that looks like it's canvas or something with distressing on it.

I love color...pretty much all of it! I just tend to gravitate towards bright and vibrant colors rather than muted onesImage

Pretty much any neon color. I just struggle with making them work without looking garish.

I'm not a big fan of green, but of course you always need a little.  Pastels don't do a lot for me, but the truth is I probably use all colors.  I especially like the black, red & white combo!

Some colors or shades I'm not a fan of, but I don't think there is anything off limits for me.
