That page is great and I love your left overs too !<BR/><BR/>I tend to be pretty wordy with my art journal pages but I know many people have a hard time with it. I agree with Hanna that they don't always have to hhave words or sometimes even one word is enough. I did an exercise for the Creative Everday Challenge (http://creativeeveryday.com/creative-every-day-challenge) which just happens to be "Words" this month. You may find some inspiration at Leah's site or you could try my little prompt and see what you come up with. (http://queen-of-arts.blogspot.com/2009/02/more-than-words.html) Keep on practicing and you will find what works best for you ! The joy of art journals is that there is no one right way !!!<BR/>Cheers Crusader !Kim Mailhothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849980369873306402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369600724465044427.post-87845689343233214632009-02-18T22:31:00.000+00:002009-02-18T22:31:00.000+00:00Combining the art and the words IS a challenge, a...Combining the art and the words IS a challenge, and I've struggled with this too! I think that some pages doesn't need words and to try journaling you could assign a special place that you leave blank just for journaling... to fit it all in takes practice.

I started doing that because i was afraid i would ruin a page and then was stuck on it in my journal. But i never really ruined anything (not that i am always satisfied with the outcome...) but now i still keep doing it because it works easier (stamping on it,it is a little sturdier paper).<BR/>Thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369600724465044427.post-18805652369491553232009-02-17T06:40:00.000+00:002009-02-17T06:40:00.000+00:00very cool layering on your page.

And as I said to Regina, you can "journal" on a loose piece and then decide if it had a place on your page. You could even place it down first, then practice a little portion control OVER it. You have those shapes that are just calling to be written on. *grin* Thanks for playing Julie!michelle wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424558212275956184noreply@blogger.com
