I love your paper layering and your journaling, and in my eyes you have hit the sweet spot of elements - just enough without being too busy. A lovely layout!
I scraplifted this layout almost exactly - it's one of the ways that I'm trying to become a better scrapper. I really only changed the proportions to fit my scale (I scrap landscape) but I used your paper choices and clustering so I could see how it worked for me, and I think it came out pretty well. I am SO grateful to you for sharing this layout! I liken it to art students sitting in the museum copying the works of the old masters... THANKS
