MORE ON JOURNALING

The topic scrapbook journaling can include many styles. To some a descriptive title constitutes their journaling. To some a title and an apropos poem. Others will have a balloon quote and footnotes. Still others will have a pocket containing a card telling a story.

Some with good penmanship will write their story in cursive or lettering. Some of us take to the computer and download some special fonts. And then, of course. are the stencils and stamps. All of the above can be used with good results. The journaling style used is at times dictated by the page arrangement and content. What ever style you choose will give others a hint as to your personality.

Sometimes we call it annotation and others time we call it narrative. When we share a story about our scrapbook page don’t just list what can be seen on the page and in the photos. Instead of “ this is Katy standing beside her car”  as can be seen in the picture try, “Katy and her new ’57 Chevy” or “ Katy’s first car a,’57 Chevy”.

On your baby picture page maybe something like “Jimmy at 1 year-already walking”. Memories are stored in the journaling as well as photos.
