I was visiting the hardware store yesterday (which is my FAVORITE store ever!), and I couldn’t help but notice all of the vibrant paint color chips on display. There are sooo many wonderful shades these days, and I haven’t quite found the right project to use them — until now.

For a bit of afternoon inspiration, why not create a color-inspired sketchbook by collecting items that match your favorite paint chip hues? The result is such a beautiful keepsake, and the process is fun for any age.  A fun idea, yes? I’m on it.
