This is what I finally ended up with:
I have to admit that I am hugely dissatisfied with these pages - I don't think they are at all attractive. Maybe I didn't understand how to apply the prompts. I trust you, my faithful readers - look at them and tell me how to fix this mess. Keep in mind that everything is heavily glued with tacky glue to survive international posting. I doubt that anything is going to come off easily.

WEll did you get the prompts all at once, or one at a time and do them sequentially? Your composition is really pleasant and the eye just goes wandering about seeing nice contrasts and colors. They do seem to be a bit of a random collection of stuff kind of like a kitchen drawer. I bet when they all are together they will be fantastic since each prompt will be repeated in each page. You are VERY hard on yourself you know ...
I think you did a fine job with the promts. I think you are bothered by the bright blue ribbon across the card. At least the scan shows it quite bright and it challenges the rest of the quiet, vintage additions. But, again I would love to receive one so that should say it all.
