Hi. I am starting a woodland project that needs some brightening... I llike the look of creeping jenny and yellow IS my accent color, but my fear is that it is going to spread lik LOOSESTRIFE.. and that was the worst thing I could have planted 6 years ago and I am still picking it out..

Any ideas

Yep, this would be the perfect groundcover for that spot. I have some of this on its third year, in a smallish spot that has stayed in bounds and looks gorgeous. It really does brighten up a dull area. It sometimes gets small yellow flowers. Really pretty and can be grown in sun/shade with moisture. Another mannerly groundcover is Lamium. I have 'Aurea' which is green/yellow and flowers spring/fall, even under snow at times. 'White nancy' is another good one.
