Scrapbook My Life

If you’re not a professional writer, scrapbook journaling can seem like a bit of a chore. However, it’s important not to totally skip over this part of the process.

At the bare minimum, you’ll want to include the following info on your pages:

• Who is in the photos on your page? (Try to include full names of people outside your immediate family, since your memory might fade in the future!)
• What are they doing?
• When were the photos taken?
• Where were you when the photos were taken?
• Why did you choose to include this particular layout in your scrapbook album?
• How would you describe your thoughts and feelings about this particular event?

Pre-made scrapbook journaling aids, such as chipboard titles, vellum quote stacks, and die cut words and phrases, can make it easier to start journaling on your pages. You may also want to get in the habit of carrying a small notebook in your purse so you can jot down notes when you’re taking pictures or happen to think of a funny memory you’d like to include in your scrapbook.
