June Journaling Challenge

My template had the journaling right on the background paper, so I clipped a solid paper to a patterned tag in one of my kits and placed that behind my journaling.

 

When I saw the word strips in the Sabrina's Creations kit, I knew they would work just fine for what I wanted to say. (and you know I'm almost getting to like purple!)

 

This is probably the busiest background I've ever used! Here's my layout for the challenge...

 

Here's mine

 

This is my kind of challenge, I love love love busy backgrounds!

 

This pushed me outside my comfort zone - I need more ways to challenge myself to use all these gorgeous patterned papers!

 

I Shouldn't Have Found This Challenge Too Difficult Since I Am Pretty Much Used To Journaling On My Photos & On My Patterned Papers But For Some Reason I Couldn't Get Any Of The Fonts Or Effects To Make My Journaling Stand Out...I Must Have Tried 100 Combinations Of Fonts & Colors To Try To Get The Journaling To Stand Out & I Finally Did After I Walked Away Several Times Cursing Under My Breath...I Ended Up Using The "Radiant Glow" Feature To Finally Get My Journaling To Pop Properly & I Mixed & Blended 3 Papers & Added Several Special Effects To Give My Background More Pop & Pizazz To Match The Shades & Blending Of The Sunset Photos...

For My Perfect Summer Layout:I Used:

Well, the challenge here for me was just to use a patterned BG Anyway, I did it ha! Great challenge

 

I added paint over the background paper to write my journaling on.

 

Thanks for hosting this month! Here's mine:

 

Thanks for the challenge! I used paint to make journaling room on two of my squares.

Such beautiful layouts ladies! I got my busy bg blending 3 papers together (well all 3 were busy enough, but I liked it this way more, lol), and I tried so many ways to put some journaling on it, but I couldn't find the right combination, so I ended up adding it on the frame.

 

Got another finish tonight -- on a roll -- 4 more to go for 30%

 

I'll have to try that trick of creating a flat color section of the paper. I usually use another paper layer. Thanks for the challenge!
