Earlier this weekend I tried scrapping a layout with a solid background paper and it didn't feel right to me. It looked "weird". So then I went to my gallery and you know what I found? I don't really use a lot of solid color papers, and almost ever for my background!
Now I'm not talking woodgrain background papers or papers that almost look solid, but are embossed or have an outline of some sort, I'm talking single-colored kraft, construction, etc paper!
Here's the thing....prior to this revelation this weekend,
I thought I ALWAYS used solid papers, not every layout, but maybe every second or third layout!
I think I can probably count on ONE HAND the layouts that I've used solid as my background paper (not including my recent ones because that's when I realized I haven't been using solid papers!)
So it got me thinking and wondering.
Are you a solid background paper because patterns don't look right scrapper?
or
Are you a pattern background paper because solid papers don't like right scrapper? (We'll classify woodgrain in this category)
There can't be a middle, because honestly until this revelation, I thought I was in the middle and that's so far from the truth!
