I am doing a journal using a book with thin paper. From Keitha, I learned about Absorbent Ground from Golden when you want to watercolor on the pages. It is doing a good job of keeping the paint from leaking through the pages but I don't know if it would take the heavier products you are using.
I'm doing both of these, mentioned. I just haven't posted any pictures.
Marianne, I am doing DLP as a written daily journal. I started doing this when I retired so this year is along the same lines as I have done in the past. I've added art work in my other journals but this year I am incorporating the challenges. I am using a Mead planner and there is a page for each day for me to journal. I don't really need a daily planner, the month view works for me.
The challenege pages are done on separate pages and taped in with washi tape as a tip in. That way I can use any kind of paper I want. It seems to be working so far. Some people doing tip ins have put their blank pages already taped in for the year. I would rather tape mine in when finished with the page. I like to work flat.
I put matte medium over the area I want to put art if it is on one of the pages already on the planner, but not on the whole page.
All that being said, I think I might learn a lot if I just worked with what I know more often. I've learned so much from my PAO sisters (not just schmoozing here!). If I just practiced a little of it, I'd feel accomplished!
