Journaling: I couldnt stand it anymore! The piles of this and that were all crowding in on me and cutting off my creative circulation. I dont know how all this clutter happened, certainly not while I was looking. I could manage to carve out a little uncomfortable niche at my computer desk, but I couldnt get near my analog desk. And Maxwell jumped up on top of all this mess, making it even more difficult to work on anything, usually with his butt in my face while he was looking for solid footing. I had to do something about it! My Teddy Bears were buried in books, the shelves full of manuals for Microsoft programs I havent used in years. Hidden from view, Windows XP start up discs for a computer thats been a distant memory and floppy discs. Printer ink for a defunct printer of God knows when. I hated working in this room!

Notes: After opening the template and using it straight out of the box, I clipped the photos to their respective masks, duplicating some of them and blending to Screen. I also blended some of the masks. I added the artsykardz to the rest of the masks on the page.
After creating the title and adding the journaling I fleshed out the page with bits and pieces of MM Document, taped textures and brushes from the kit along with transfers and art strokes, doing a lot of blending. All of these were placed either above or below the photos. Finally adding the little labels and fountain pen nib.
