The After Page
What I love most about these pages are all of the background layers peeking through. It's an effect I wouldn't have achieved if I hadn't decided to see how far I could push them.
So, how about it? Do you think that you could try to take your pages to the next step and add some layers on top of layers? You won't know what it looks like until you've done it. It's all about letting go and not being too attached to our journal pages. A journal should be your place to experiment, push, prod, document and ask yourself, "what next?"
Go ahead. Try it. It'll be okay. I promise. It's just paper and you have a whole journal to play in...

A couple of weeks ago I was upset about something and wanted to get it down on paper but I hate my journal pages to be bitchy and there are some things that I just don't want anyone else to read. (Because I show my journals to lots of people.) So I started writing sort of large and when I filled the page I gave it a quarter turn and kept writing. I probably flipped it all the way around 2 or 3 times. (It is a small journal.) It looked pretty cool just like that but then I did some collage and writing in a different color and I came out with a really interesting page...and it ended up being a very positive, hopeful page.
Thanks for the on-going inspiration, Emie
Thanks, everyone! It's been fun!!!
