Sales over the years

The journaling on this layout caused me all sorts of problems. Initially I did the journaling by hand – the way I normally do but to me it did not look right and was just a mess. This is the layout:

 I then redid the layout using the computer for the title and the journaling. It looked so much neater, clearer and easier to read.

 I do think it looks better with the typed journaling however I still do not like the layout. (It’s just a bit better).

There are a few layouts that I have in my album which are really heavy on journaling which follow a similar layout to the sales one with typed journaling. So I guess that where I have a lot of journaling I am just going to have to say hey ho lets get the story typed and on the page and forget that you don’t like the look of it

Lessons Learnt:

1. I like stitching around the edge of layouts as a frame.
2. Sometimes using a grid pattern for photos and journaling with minimum embellishments does work
3. Only using three colours, using photos to help you to pick the colours you use can work.
