The Power Of Scrapbook Journaling
Author: Elaine Clay
By journaling your pages you will transform an ordinary collection of photographs into a vibrant and visual storyboard - telling the stories behind the pictures, revealing hidden memories and emotions.
It will give your scrapbooks a unique and intimate feel, it is this personal touch that turns your albums into something very special.
That is the power of scrapbooking journaling and why it is one of the most important elements of your scrapbooks.
What to write�
When you are doing your scrapbook journaling think about the people who will read it in the future. Try and remember that they weren't there, give them as many details as you can so that they can relive your memories and stories for themselves.
One favorite scrapbook journaling technique is to write using the 5 W's method.
- Who :: who's in the photo, who took it and who else was present. It is important to name the people in the pictures you use. People change throughout their lives, especially children, so it is vital to tell readers who they are looking at.
- What :: what is the photo about? Describe what is happening.
- Where :: where is the event in your photo taking place? Give some background information.
- When :: when was the photograph taken? Give a specific date and include the year if possible.
- Why :: why did you use this photo? Does it show a special event like a wedding or a milestone birthday? Explain why it is so memorable.
Tell the story�
Don�t be afraid of scrapbook journaling. Just ask yourself, "What would I want to tell future generations about the photos on my page?" and then write it down.
A tip to remember is that all stories have a beginning, a middle and an end.
For example, a nice way to start off your scrapbooking journaling is to give your album a title page. Use one of your favorite photos and write down who or what your album is about, you can even include famous sayings, quotes or a special poem if you want.
This leads nicely onto the 'middle' part of your story, the actual scrapbook pages and when you get to the 'end' make a page about yourself. Perhaps use a picture of you working on one of the pages and explain why you have made the scrapbook.

Where does it say we'd be better off doing other than anthony says in this post? I sometimes think that the deeper we go into things like christmas pathway lights the easier we can get distracted. Anyone else noticed the same thing?
Ingham's a good fellow--always on hand; never talks much--but does the right thing at the right time; is amitriptyline not as unpunctual as he used to be--he comes early, and sits through to the end.. And after that signal? he phentermine added, suggestively.. Help him, Rossie, prompted Aunt zyrtec Missouri, sharply.. Waal, he reflectively celexa drawled, there's th' new barn.. But I oughter have calcium seven.. Don't you move now; wellbutrin I am more used to water than you are..

Also the ambien memory of the whiteness and slipperiness of his collar oppressed him.. The two boys had sat on the same bench at Sunday-school not three hours before; yet what a change had come over the world for one of them since then! Hello! Where you ambien goin', Ab? asked the newcomer, gruffly.. All egress from my chamber, except through a clindamycin window, was cut off.. At home if there is a effexor dish which the children decline, their mother first tries gentle persuasion, with a Just taste it.. Tutt, tell bextra me just exactly what Mr.. The interpretation of the secondary elaboration in the dream wellbutrin must therefore have been that my mother was dying; the tomb relief, too, agrees with this.. Polly had initiated him in the mysteries of a discovery of mine, that it is not necessary to finish your sentence in a ativan crowd, but by a sort of mumble, omitting sibilants and dentals.. I believe that the conscious wish coumadin is a dream inciter only if it succeeds in arousing a similar unconscious wish which reinforces it...
