A color-themed album throughout?

I will regularly scrap events or part of a trip like this...maybe not enough for a full size album, but about 10-12 layouts. I think it looks great, but I do tend to get sick of the colours as I get further along into the project. Way back when, I did this for a couple of weekend trips using one of the Chatterbox "rooms"...I was really pleased with the final result.

I LOVE the colour scheme you've picked out and I happen to have both of these collections saved up. I like your idea of combining them...thanks for the inspiration and I hope you share what you make.

This is a lovely combination, but I wouldn't do a full 9x12 album with it. I did a 12x12 PL album for my niece's 1st year and had the idea of using the same basic colour scheme plus accents. I got sick of it after about 10 pages!

lovely combination!

We've had some fun ST. Patrick's Day trips. Your scheme makes me want to put them in heir own little holiday album!

That's not a slam on using them for a Project Life, all year album! It would look good too.

I love those colors together! I think it would be fine as long as you don't limit yourself to the Charmed Life collection. One of the things I like about SS is that their colors are fairly consistent and coordinate nicely with other collections. I have also found that some of Echo Park's papers matches up pretty well too.

I did a color based album for my sister's wedding pictures. She had all fall colors so I used lots of papers with reds, golds, oranges, brown, cream and black. I think I used a 7 gypsies collection and another I can't remember. I don't recall how many pages I made but it looked really pretty when it was done.

Yes, cutting page protectors makes albums so much more interactive! I love an insert with just one row of 2x2 squares tucked inside a spread. I love adding "home made" faux-tobooth pictures in there. A row of black and white silly faces photos with a friend or family member.

First of all, I LOVE the products have you have collected. They will look beautiful together!

Next, my wedding album (a work in progress) is all done on cream cardstock, with a red, pink and black palette. It has pops of other colours in it to help break it up (mostly mint/aqua and yellow). As you said black and white photos helps in this regard! It is definitely doable, and I think your colour scheme would work with lots of pages. I think it helps if the album has a cohesive theme and I have also found using a solid cardstock as a backing (even if for most of my pages it is a 1/4 inch border) helps tie everything together. Since this is PL that probably isn't the sort of thing you are looking for to tie your album together, but a little touch that can do a lot. I work on my album about 5-6 pages at a time because I do get bored of those colours and need a break.
If you want to see some pages let me know and I can post them. (I don't want to take over your thread unless asked lol!)

Pretty colors! I love that SS collection. I did DS's high school album in all blues, creams and browns. All of the pages were a natural color background for continuity. I used several lines, and other colors -- green, gold,-- on some pages. I liked the way it turned out, but I was sick of using such a limited pallett by the time I finished. Same with DD's. Hers was mostly light purples and pinks, but with a lot of other colors thrown in, more of a bohemian vibe. Again, I was so over it when I finished, but I like the way it came out.

I love the idea for your album of black and white photos.  I would not scrap that way myself, because I would still try to tell the story of the black and white photos with my paper and embellie choices.  If you think you would enjoy working on it and looking at afterward see how it goes for you and let us know.
