I am TWO PAGES away from finishing my vacation/cruise album!! woo hoo! I LOVE how it's turned out - I used navy, aquas, hot pink, yellows, and kraft, with anchors, cameras and compass roses to tie the whole thing together. I'm down to literally the last two pictures/pages, and now I know why I kept pushing them aside. They are two 8x10s, of us dressed up on formal night. The background is solid black. we are all wearing black, gray, and a cranberry red. I can't for the life of me find any combination of my album colors that look decent with these pictures!
I did do a two page layout before I came up with the color scheme, its mainly orange and aqua, and....I hate it. it sticks out like a sore thumb and I want to change it so it feels like it belongs in this album. So I know if I abandon the color scheme I'll hate it, but crap!!! Why didn't I think ahead and dress accordingly?
I have enough problem scrapping 8x10 pictures anyway, and then they just don't match. Ridiculous problem I know, but it really has me ticked off and frustrated.
I'm SOOO close to being FINISHED and these two stupid pictures won't get off my desk, LOL!!! I do have quite a bit I want to journal about them, my teen age boys being so into "dressing up"for this night and how much our family has changed since the last family portraits....so I really want to include them. Hmmmm Maybe I'm finding my answer....maybe I should put them in my " just because I love the picture" album and not the vacation album.....
What would yall do?

I'd keep it simple. 8x10s take up so much space that you won't have much room anyway. I'd use kraft and navy. Those seem to be the most neutral and the least likely to cause too much color chaos on the layouts. Maybe going to Pinterest to look for inspiration on scrapping 8x10 pictures will help you get them done.
