Thankful Journaling Challenge plus $25 GC to winner!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Hope everyone has enjoyed all of our previous posts!

To get rolling, all of the contributing artists decided to come up with a fun challenge for everyone. It's a pretty simple one, so hopefully you'll be able to join us for this one!

CHALLENGE: Use the theme "thankful" + creatively journal on your page!


Pretty easy, right?! Get creative with it! We want to see your work. The winner to this challenge gets a $25 gift certificate to scrapbook.com! :)

Here's my take on this challenge:



...and some tips and ideas to get creative with your journaling:

1. Get creative with your journaling by writing around the border of your photo. It creates a unique border frame! That's what I did in my "So Thankful for Them" layout. :)

2. Get creative with your journaling by writing/typing on your photo! It adds a wonderful touch. Check out what Susan did:


3. Get creative with your journaling by using a looooooooooooong title. Your title can then act as journaling as well. Check out what Julie did:



4. Get creative with your journaling by adding different journaling blocks. This helps captivate the significance of each photo. Check out what Heather did:



Hope that helps with your journaling, and can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! :)
