Method Playground: Challenge 37: Journaling ON the photos

Journaling is an essential part of a layout. Usually, you put it around your pics: on the top, on the bottom, on the right or on the left, anywhere. This time I challenge you to write the journaling ON your photo(s)! Yep! That's it! It’s easy, it’s fun and you have a lot of possibilities. You don’t believe me? Look at what the DT members have done for you:

Jen: Instead of writing on the photo, she enlarged and printed the photo and then she used a set of those tiny stamps on wood blocks: one by one! It didn’t take more than 20 minutes. No Photoshop needed for that one. Pretty simple, isn’t it?

Brenda: She wrote her thoughts in a bubble and stuck it on the photo! She added additional lines on a tag outside of the photo.

Pam: The text was written on the photo first, then she stamped it on the paper... Actually, the photo was printed on that paper right in the middle, and she simply added everything to the photo paper! Easy as pie!!

Deb: this layout has a large photo but she journaled on it via PS before printing it out.

Paloma: She simply applied some rubons on the photo because her hand-writing is so awful. That’s just too easy, don’t you think?

Now is your turn! How do you manage to write your journaling ON the photo? Leave your link in your comment. Deadline: February 8th at 12 p.m. Thanks a lot!

Method Playground

We love to create and try new things. We also love challenges. So what better idea than to combine the two!

A new challenge will be added every other Monday, focusing on a different technique. Be sure to check back the following week - we'll post our favorites and we'll choose a RAK winner for each challenge.

Everyone is welcome to join in at any time. To participate in a challenge, just leave us a comment to the post for that week's challenge and include a link to your layout. That link can be to any gallery where you store your layouts. If you would rather not post to a gallery, feel free to send us an email instead.

Now... let's play!

I NEVER journal on photos... no reason, just never got around to it... but this photo specifically had all this perfect space on it for journaling... so I added my journaling in a photo editing program.

mica said...: I don't usually play with a photo itself. So this was a challenge. I added text to the photo and printed.
