Some ideas for Journaling In Your Scrapbook
When I first started to scrapbook, I did it the traditional way, with paper and glue sticks. Now of course I have embraced digital scrapbooks. However the ideas I am going to give you here apply to both.
Quite a few scrapbook fans prefer to include words or phrases within their scrapbook pages. Words and phrases help to explain the photos. As you might expect there are many ways to incorporate the written word into your scrapbooking; it is generally called Journaling.
We have all seen in our shopping for scrapbook embellishments sheets of paper with phrases, words, or the alphabet. All of these can be used put the written word on your page, simply pick the ones that apply to the photo and attach. You can also use stickers, diecuts and in some cases word cutouts.
Remember all of this can be applied to both digital and paper scrapbooks. There are no rules when it comes to scrapbooking.
Some scrappers don’t want to use pre-written words but they want to use their own. If you want to write on your pages here are a few tips.
1. Select an ink shade that suits the color scheme of your page
2. If you have a photograph or newspapers clipping that you want to add, I suggest copying the pieces onto acid free paper, this way they won’t yellow over time.
