Scrapbooking and Journaling
As you begin your scrapbooking album, think about the event you are scrapbooking about. Think of your page as a story you are telling. You may want to create a title for each page. Use large distinctive lettering to draw attention to it, but not so large as to overwhelm the most important elements of the page – the photos.
Some, if not all, pictures should have a few words as a caption. Of course, you do not want to forget to list the names of all the people in your photos or places that may be seen in the background. While these things may be fresh in your mind now, a few months or years down the road, they may all be forgotten
To make your story complete, you possibly will want to add more text to your page. Consider doing this in your own handwriting. While you may feel that your own handwriting is not good enough, this will give your album a bit of personality and character. However, it is acceptable to add stickers or cut-outs instead if you prefer. You also may use your computer to print out some journaling to add to each page.
