Happy Saturday to you all! Do you do any journaling on your layouts? It doesn't seem to be a very popular trend right now, but you can still incorporate it using hidden journaling so it doesn't get in the way of your page design. Today, I have a quick video to show you how to incorporate hidden journaling on your layouts, so check it out: VIDEO
Be sure to join our conversation about hidden journaling on our FORUMS, and let us know what you think, or share your journaling ideas!

Each week here at Swirlydoos we like to honor one of our oh so talented subscribers and their incredible talent! This past week the layout the most caught my eye was the beauty you see below.
This has all of the elements I have come to love in layouts! Layers, Clusters, Fussy cutting, and grunge! And I absolutely adore the way the crown rests at the top of the photo
Patty did a wonderful job, congrats sweetheart! Way to rock the Vintage Chic kit!!!!!!!
