January 22 - Clean & Simple Style

@sucali I have a quick question for you. I'm considering using photo corners on my photo. Could those be counted as a frame or are they elements? If they're elements, would you consider 4 photo corners as 1 element or 4 elements? Definitely not going to use them on the page I submit if they're counted as 4 of my 5, LOL!

And while I'm asking questions, the directions specify that the photo and elements can only take up 1/4 of the page. I assume the journaling also needs to fit within that space? Thanks!

 

@sucali Susanne my beautiful friend...... as I said in the page description, this was always a difficult one for me, fightng the mania of filling the page and using the whole elements pack...but after so many years learning from awesome people like you... I think I got it reasonably right!!! LOL
The one thing I am not sure about is the paper, is it ok or do I need to change it for a completely solid one? I don't have access to my kits now, long story, anyway, let me know, if it isnt ok I ll change it!!!!!
Thanks for hosting!!!!

 

extra elements: string, ribbon; flower, flair, confetti

Thanks for the fun challenge! This was much more difficult for me than I thought it would be! It was not easy to just use 5 elements! I hope I did this right . . .

 

Ack - these are so hard... haha!!

I loved this challenge! Even though I like more photos and elements, at times I enjoy the simplicity of a minimalist page!

This is my favorite style!

1 Neutral Background
1 Photo
1 Paint
1 Scribble
1 Splatter
1 Flower
Title

 

This one was so difficult for me! I did use a very light pattern to the background, so I hope that works instead of paint. 1 photo with frame and 1 journal card, and 4 elements and a WA.

 

Here's mine:

Here is my layout:

 

Finally got mine done! I had to start by scrapping a busier page and then remove almost everything, LOL. The way I read the instructions is that the paint and title don't count as part of our 5 elements, but let me know if I'm wrong and I'll fix it.



My 5 elements:
1 set of photo corners
1 gear
1 star
1 cardboard circle
1 brad with chemical/toxic symbol
