I think I've got the idea now.... have been trying to over-think this lesson. hope you don't mind but I've printed off this page to take home and remind me what I need to remember when I do my homework. Obviously I'll use my own theme. <br />this page is absolutely beautiful, and you got the feel of the 50's (not that I was there of course, except right at the end as a wee baby!)

You did a great job of trying to cover all the bases on one page - I too usually just go by my "eye" without analyzing why. When you stop to think about the why, it's nice to realize you know what to look for!

Those of us with no art training often rely on our intuity to create journal pages. However, IF you know the principles (and elements, which will come next lesson), you will be far more pleased with each spread that you create. I sometimes forget to apply them to my spreads, so I'm glad you were able to identify what you were working on.<br /><br />The large single heart is proportional to the many smaller and smaller hearts.
