    Hi everyone,

    How are you all doing?

    I'm back with the final Muse for this month and a new video that will hopefully inspire you to apply some similar techniques to your digital pages.

    Here is your video

    And here is the page that I created

    rjefferies-agooddayto-02.jpg

    Your challenge is to :

    • Create an "A Good Day to . . . " page of your own. Include this title on your page, and add some journaling with the first things that pop into your head.
    • Paper Confetti - Add some somewhere, large or small :)
    • Book or News Paper - Add some somewhere
    • If you're up for the challenge, try and stick to neutrals and black and white only!
    • Add some text fragments or transfers somewhere
    "You may create any style of layout (ie. clean and simple, artsy, pocket style etc.) you wish, with or without a photo. Create any size page you wish. This is for everyone, so have fun and see where the inspiration takes you.

    Please post your layout to the Art Journaling Gallery HERE prior to September 30th, 2020 EST and then post it in this thread by copying the code (at the right of your gallery image) from the box under "Share BB Code".

    We will draw a winner at the beginning of next month for a coupon!! You can use any products in The Lilypad store or retired products from current Lilypad designers, (just make sure you follow our gallery guidelines)."

    Have fun :beat

    I know this layout is a little more traditional but I did use the video and prompts as inspiration. I loved playing with the word fragments and using the reinforcements dots for my scatter. Thanks for the inspiration.
