Journaling in your Scrapbook Albums

Journaling in Your Scrapbook Albums

Journaling is a must on all your layouts!!  You have to tell the story of what, where, why, and how.  Only you know this information when making these pages or books.  Trust me, your mind won't always be able to recall all the details!!  Someone else who is looking at your scrapbook album can't know the story unless you tell them.

What are some creative ways to get your journaling on your pages?

Tags-  Your can make different sized tags of any shape you want!!  You can even spice them up by attaching ribbons and even brads.  They look great and give the page a bit of pizazz!!

Boxes or Circles-  Your can just create plain journaling boxes, or if you have journaling stamps, use those.  I use these on a lot of my scrapbook albums.  They work great!!

If you want to take these a step further, you could do these journaling ideas and hide them behind your photos.  Sometimes you want all the information for the page there, but you may not want everyone who sees this album to know all the details that might be personal.  So, instead of not putting the journaling in there, opt to hide it so that the person receiving it still has all the details even if all the viewers do not!!

Mats-  You can make your mats to your photos a little longer and put your journaling there.  This is especially good if you have something to say or reveal about each individual photo.  That way your journaling isn't in one spot and the photo it pertains to is in another.

Don't forget how important journaling is to your pages and make sure your story is told!!!
