I love this book; however, be cautioned that the cards (look like paint chip cards) are horribly perforated making tearing out of book difficult. You need to cut the page as the perforation doesn't extend to the end of the page and even then you run the risk of ripping the card. After the first page, I tore out all pages and used my paper cutter. Also, the author should have labeled the cards on top, AWAY from the hole punch so when you place the cards on a ring, as suggested, you could fan them to see the "theme" first, then look down to the color scheme. The book suggests that you should choose theme before color and placing the theme (nostalgia, the 50's etc.) at the sight of the hole makes that very difficult. Besides that, it is a great find that answers one of the most difficult questions for many new cardmakers - what color cardstock should I use? Great model cards as well that offer inspiration and ideas. Well worth the cost; just re-do those perforated cards and label them away from hole!!

This book I have been hunting hi and low for it.
This is a great book to have especially when trying to choose a colour scheme. Great for scrapbooking or any other crafts.
Highly Recommend this book. This book you must have in your library.

This was recommended in several craft magazines and the previous reviews were very flattering, so I ordered it and I'm so glad I did. The color charts are so handy to take with you when purchasing items for scrap booking or card making and there are so many samples in the book to give you great ideas.

I bought this book for myself, and then ordered one for a friend as a Christmas gift. It is perfect for people who have trouble deciding or knowing what colors to use together. I am a card maker, and I often find that I know what color base cardstock I want to use, but am unsure about what complimentary colors to use. This book has it all. If you purchase the book, I know you will use it constantly, as I do.
