Thanks for a great challenge! I hope I filled enough of the page - I tried to steer clear of defaulting to an art journal type page ;)

@CaroB71 Please do not mind that I use your layout as an example of what can be done...you made the space requirement!!! I have a few templates I made for myself to check layouts, if need be. And yours is spot on! What I especially like is that you do have some very clean, white space. Yet, your layout is still 67% full. Way to go!!! This goes to show that one does not have to make a chaotic art journal layout (unless you want to...I rather like 'em, btw). Most can stick their own style...just expand a little...lol!

I specifically did my photo to look like I was emerging and changing. My OLW for the year is Priority and this page is about me and change in hitting my priorities.

This sounds like fun, but I'm having trouble getting my head wrapped around the specifics. I have a few questions-sorry!

First, do all papers other than your background count as filled space? If I have a few big blocks of paper, do they count? Or do we need to use smaller paper shapes? Here's a good example of what I'm thinking of when I ask about big blocks:



And now for the part that I'm really not getting, about removing pictures. When we use open elements like a frame, does only the frame itself (ie, the metal/wood/plastic, etc outline) count as filled space? Or is the middle of the frame, the place where there is a "removed" photo considered part of the frame?

@rach3975 I am so sorry I am just now seeing your question.

Bottom Line Upfront: Any of the four templates in that pack will qualify.

Larger blocks of paper help fill the space, so yes to your question about larger blocks of paper; especially if there are 2 or more on top of the bottom paper.

Now for the more difficult question...about frames. Your question is difficult to answer in that some folks may use a large photo with a large frame. Technically, the layout would be filled...but its not the filled style I am hoping people will achieve with this challenge. Those templates you show qualify because, when the photo is removed, there are lots of papers under the frame/photo. Even with the photo removed, the space is filled.

Now, some people may use a very small frame. When the photo is removed from the frame, the frame itself counts because the space left behind when the photo is removed is very small. I hope the metal blue frame and TV photo frame demonstrate that...essentially, how a frame can be an element in and of itself.

Whew! You won't go wrong if you use those templates.
