What To Write!

These are great tips and techniques that you can easily use to quickly add some journaling and content to your album layouts...

When you are doing your scrapbook journaling, it is important to think about the people who will read your album in the future.

Try and remember that they weren't there - so you need to give them as much information and as many details as you can so that they can re-live 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.
