mom2em,
I am just like you. I am not that creative so I normally pick two colors that match my pictures and use one as the background and one to mat pics. If a third color fits I might use it as a border, some times sticker borders. I then embellish with die cuts and journal.
I have just started using brads and eyelets but they take a more creative mind. I also copy a lot of ideas from CK magazine. I love the one layout many different pages idea. They are simple and easy.
I would love if I had the creativity that I see in magazines, but I don't and do not pretend that I do. DH and kids love what I do so I am not going to try and mess with it.
