I used K&Company paper for the background, Tim Holtz tissue tape, and several Cricut fonts for the title.
For my instruction page I used some more K&Company paper and lots of old buttons. The buttons kept the instructions from being clear, so I'm adding them here to make them easier to read.
Webster’s Dictionary defines “Joy” as: The emotion of great happiness. Great happiness! That is so wonderful. Joy is deeper than happiness, it is an emotion of wonder and hope and love.
Webster’s defines an “Ode” as: A lyric poem with complex stanza forms. Or in other words, a song or verse.
In this journal, I ask you to do several things.
1. Complete a two-page layout telling about a moment that gave you joy or something that continually gives you joy.
2. In your journaling or somewhere on the layout use a verse, poem, song lyric or quotation that helps express the emotion of joy. Please also tell a little about the picture or pictures you use.
3. Use one or more of the technique challenges on the next page. Each technique can be used by multiple people, so try something you might not have done before. Find joy in stretching yourself.
Most of all, enjoy yourself and the layout you create.
And the technique challenges:
Technique Challenges
1. Use a Monochromatic color scheme.
2. Use tons of bling.
3. Use a sketch from this month’s page maps. Tell us which one.
4. Use paint on your layout.
5. Distress your layout.
6. Use stamping on your layout.
7. Use a black and white photo or black and white page or both.

10. Make a mini-book on your page.

13. Use textured words in your title like: http://scrapbooking.about.com/library/weekly/blprintingwords.htm
14. Use ribbon.
15. Use flowers.
And this is my sign-in page. The tags are cut using the Songbird cartridge from double-sided papers. I'm asking everyone to decorate one side to express the theme and the other to list their name, location and month they had the journal as well as what techniques they used on their layouts.
I'll add my own layouts later.
