Is there any way you can just re-do the title without messing up the whole layout?  The date stamp is fine...I would consider that another way to journal, just like pens.

Laura, I am withdrawing this layout "Railroad Park" from this challenge. I will make another. I will enter it into another June challenge, so no harm done, I still meet a challenge and I still have a finished layout of my little babies - win-win!

Sounds good...glad you can use it for another challenge!
 

[JAire]

Done! I finished and uploaded my page using only what I was supposed to according to your challenge. As a teacher, I'm sure you often find your students have a hard time 'getting' the directions! Must be frustrating for you - lol
It's in the gallery you made for us.

What is the blocking method for a layout?

[Art_Teacher]

What is the blocking method for a layout?

Basically, you use up all the space in square blocks. Below are a couple of my layouts using blocking:

Use only one photo
Use a sketch for your layout and fill the page/very little whitespace
reds, oranges, yellows 
buttons
bling/glitter
pearls/enamel dots
brads/eyelets
die cuts
