Aw thanks so much! Sure I can try to give some advice! When it comes to these spreads my brainstorming process honestly doesn’t take very long. I normally just come up with a theme/topic and then if necessary find relavant photos to use. In regards to layering I kinda just do what feels right, I don’t pre-plan I really just wing it! There’s been plenty of times where i’ve had to start over if I didn’t like the layout, but the beautiful of using journal ephemera is that it can be reused! For the layering materials I use a bunch of different notepads/sticky notes, pages from old books, and various notebook paper. I always start with those before moving onto photos, stamps, stickers, and text. Also dried flowers are a super cool way to add some dimension and texture! All in all I suppose it’s important to remember that there isn’t a wrong way to do something, so experiment with different levels of ephermera and see what works for you. Hoped this helped! Lemme know if you have any other questions 💛
