Many folks like to add words to their scrapbooks. Words help to inform the tale behind the picture. There are a few paths to add words to your scrapbook pages. A method to journal is thru premade words and word phrases. You may use alphabet sets to make words on your pages. One page I did has my daughter's 4 highschool photographs, one from every year. Down the middle of the page I put the letters DPHS. In fifty years, when she investigates the page, she'll know those four photographs were her four school photographs. If you're going to pen on the pages, select an ink color that matches the color theme of your page. You can write at once on the pages, or you can write on paper and then attach the paper right to your scrapbook page. How much, or how very little you book is totally down to you.

In a number of cases, I just wanted a year attached to my pages, so that my youngsters would have a general notion of how old they were at the time. In other cases I needed a town name or building name to remind me of where I took the picture. In yet other examples I would have liked to put peoples's names and a tiny bit about the people in the footage. I know some people who included song words or poems with their stills. They suspect the track words or poem really tell the tale of the photographs on that specific page. I have one or two stills of my very own grandmother. On page one, I have only one photograph of her, and then plenty of journaling, talking of where she was born, what year she was born, where she grew up and so on. On other pages, I put many footage of her, with little journaling.

It truly is dependent on why you are making the album, who the album is for and what info you would like to add with your stills that may work out how much journaling you can do. If your youngsters are young, or your grandkids are young, it's entertaining to ask them to draft something annually and include that in the album so they can see their writing as they grow up. Often , if I've a lot to point out, I will type it on acid free paper and then cut out what I have typed and add it to the page. Typed words will let me say lots more than if I write the words. Frequently we wish to include a photograph or article from a paper on our scrapbook pages. My recommendation is to repeat the document onto acid free paper, as the paper will yellow and crack with time.

One pal has a child who was on the school soccer game during his 4 years in highschool. She copied each picture and story written about him and he currently shares those stories with his very own child. And then book on those sheets of paper and then stick to my scrapbook page. If you're making a scrapbook for a buddy, it can be a laugh to share your thoughts, vs just telling a tale. As an example, perhaps you and a buddy had a girl's night out and took some photographs. You can share "I remember how much we giggled and giggled this night. This shares not only stills but you are also sharing yourself with your pal. Acid free index cards are excellent for journaling. They're just the correct size to scribble on and then stick to your scrapbooking pages. There's no wrong or right way to book. The trick is to have something in words to help tell the tale of your photograph.
