Hi all!
In my last post I was showing how simple it is to build a journal page by working piece by piece and filling it up.
I meant to take more progress pics but got carried away and next thing my page was complete!

I missed writing on Wed & Thur so they were written in on Friday. Friday was done in two parts - some in the afternoon and some at the end of the evening. So as you can see if you don't let too many days pass it is easy to keep up to date.

The page:

• Photo added that I had allowed space for with very thin cardstock mat
• A note I wrote myself and attached so I could lift it up and read both sides.
• Photos of my workdesk.
• A quote I cut out of a scrapbook catalog
  
• Business card from restaurant
  
• Photo of daughter
• Journaling! with colour changes each time I write.

Today's Tip:

For a cohesive (settled feeling) to your page try to limit and be thoughtful with your colour selections. My background wash always jump starts the way the page colours are going to go. From there I often will choose a image I have on hand such as a picture I like from a magazine, or a rub-on that works with those background colours. I like to then use that image as a colour swatch for the rest of the page.

The fun thing about this technique is it often gets you out of your comfort zone of favourite colour combinations and because its a image you like it is not so drastically removed from your preferences.

In short, a pleasing picture that you like often has a great colour scheme. Stick to that scheme and your golden!
