I like to work on journal pages after I’ve removed them by opening up the spiral. That allows you to work on a few pages at a time. It also doesn’t limit you to which direction the page is oriented. The example below illustrates how this page ended up with no real "this side up".
And after I scan in a page I like to mess around with it digitally. The original page is above, and below (click to enlarge) are manipulations with colorizing, saturation, gradient, and curves. It’s all part of learning things in Photoshop but it also gives me a different perspective of how I might approach things on the real page.
