Scrapbooking Challenges Part 6 - Too BUSY!

For these penguin pictures, I wanted to use this lovely hand-made pink and black chevron paper that I had. I thought it would set the pictures off well and pull in a little bit of color. However, the chevron pattern was overwhelming! It was way too busy a pattern - one could go blind looking at a whole page of it! So, I went with a plain gray background for most of the page, using the chevron pattern for mats and borders as shown. A very thin plain border around the pictures, mats and borders also helped tone things down and make a nice look.
