Slow Scrap means pages are due September 28, 2021 at 3pm EDT.

Instructions:
1. Photos: Use a minimum of 1, a maximum of 4
2. Use at least 4 papers.
3. Create a border around your page. This can be made of paper, tape, ink, brushes, etc. I must be able to see the border however you make it.
4. Layer your title so it's touching at least one photo. It can touch all of them, but at least touching one.
5. Add some paint or doodles. If you used a paint border, there should be paint somewhere else on the page too.
6. Add at least 1 line of journaling, and a date.
7. Finish up with some elements to make it your own! Just make sure the border around the page is visible.

Here's my page the instructions are based on! Sorry, I forgot to post it earlier:


Please post your completed layout in The Lilypad gallery and here so I can see it. GALLERY RULES: Layouts must contain at least 50% TLP products. (Templates count as 15%.) Uploads must be less than 250k. List all credits; no off-site linking allowed.

More example

If you are using Photoshop, here's some tips from our dear Cheryl @gonewiththewind
~~Once you pick your brush to draw with, if you want a straight line, click first and then press the SHIFT key and then click at the ending point and you have a straight line of dots or stars, etc.~~
Also, if you adjust the spacing, you can spread them closer or farther apart.

thanks for the challenge, Courtney!! so, I tried CHeryl's tip on how to make a border holding the Shift key for photoshop...I made mine quite simple, to mimic a pencil border, as I added a pencil to my page...

 
@bestcee dear, so sorry that I missed the chat. Here's my take, I can't add a date, because majority of my photos are completely mixed, and my computer confused the files and even the properties, so more or less I need to guess if the photo is old or new, lol, or try to remember when and why I took such photos. The picture that I'm using, I'm sure was take on October but I don't remember the year, and the computer shows me 2021, some kind of time machine, lol, so I'm using the month as title and date. I draw the border, not perfect but is the first time that I'm trying Cheryl's tip. Wishing you a very beautiful day and a fantabulous week ahead, lots of love.
 
Here's mine! I love how the scalloped border turned out!
 
I missed the chat and then I used your challenge to finally get my LO for the Sept Journaling challenge complete. I did love your challenge and thank you for it!
