Melanie gave great hints and tips for scrapping and highlighted the journaling aspect which is something I usually leave 'till last and often just write round the photographs. She said to journal FIRST, and to try to handwrite something about the time and the feeling surrounding the photos.
I rarely matt my photos either and she showed various ways to matt photos and emphasised what colours were best to use. Dark to recede, light to bring forward and skin tones to draw the eye to faces in photos.
She talked about the design triangle where you place three embellishments round the page to draw the eye round the page.
Anyway, thought I'd try my best to incorporate her principles into my next page. I made the journaling tag, nearly first, as I had previously cropped my photos. I double matted my photographs, and there are a few sets of threes too. My final page uses handmade papers which might well have come from India.
Anyway Melanie said she'd add her sample pages and tips to her blog sometime this week, so I'll be watching out.

Hi BJ, I can certainly see Mel's influence in your page, the photos look great with mats and so does the journal tag, I think you have done a superb job. Crafty hugs, Anne x
