I seem to have the most trouble finding gray cardstock that goes with my photos and embellishments. For this page, I solved the problem by printing my own! For the background, I made a copy of the photo with large rocks in it, cropped it to one of the large rocks and then printed that portion full page size, giving me a mottled gray background. I also printed the title and journaling for the page, choosing to use colors from the background photo. This ensured all the grays went together well! Obviously, the journaling could just be cut with my paper trimmer, but the titles were cut by hand. However, with the titles mats printed as one, the cutting was much less arduous.
