Today's Scrapbook page is an example of modifications. I often find that when I go to post a project and look at the picture critically, I decide I want to change something. This happened with this page. Here is what it looked at first:
I realized that the eye was drawn to the big white block of journaling instead of the pictures, and I just didn't like the composition. I decided to re-do the journaling & soften the white using my Scroll & Brush markers with a water brush. (Yes! That worked without smearing the print & dried quickly.)
This is the way it looked at that point, but it still felt a bit off balance. I decided to mat the title blocks with white as well, and that's what you see in the final picture (above). I would have liked to move the center block down a bit as well (I had it offset because of the way I had done the journaling at first). Unfortunately, it was stuck down too well to move, but I think the changes I made still made things better. I MAY print another of the pots real small & fussy cut it for an embellishment at the bottom. I think that would help quite a bit, but I don't have time now.
