Journaling is a very important part of any
scrapbooking layout. It not only documents the photos and mementos on your
pages, it does it from your point of view. You can be really creative, or
not so much, but always try to include some of the more pertinent information:
names
dates
places
ages
personal feelings, thoughts, etc.
Below you will find words and phrases that can be used for scrapbooking pages in
your journaling, captions, and for use as titles for your pages. The words
are grouped in five different categories, including baby, wedding, kids,
family, and holidays/seasons.
Remember, that these scrapbooking pages are forever, and that years down the
road, you may forget certain facts and specific memories, and you will always
have your scrapbooks to walk you down memory lane...
Not only that, others who want to view your scrapbooks and will be guided
through the photos with your journaling.
TIP:
If you don't have time to work on scrapbooking your new photos right away and you don't want to
forget facts, dates, etc... a good idea is to write them down, along with other
thoughts and put into an envelope with photos taken. If you think of a
title also, label the outside of your envelope. Keep these in a safe
place until you are ready to scrap them.
