Journaling
Tips!
by Sheila
Mankulich, Scrapbook Designer
You’ve spent countless
hours cropping and designing that special layout and now it’s time to tackle
the journaling process! While one
picture may be worth a thousand words, there are some things a photo just can't
say.
I am often asked, “How
do you know what to write?” One of the
most creative and special things about scrapbook journaling is that there
really are no wrong things to say when incorporating words into your layouts.
You can base your
journaling on the facts – dates of special events such as birthdays, weddings
and anniversaries. Poems, quotes and song lyrics are an amazing way to capture
that special moment with words! Try
adding the lyrics of your wedding song along side a picture of your first dance
as husband and wife – I guarantee every time you look at this layout you will
instantly relive that magical feeling!
One of my favorite
ways on deciding what to journalize is to let my mind go back to the moment the
memory was captured on film. For
example, as I look at pictures of my precious baby girl fast asleep in her
crib, I ask myself - what do I remember most about this moment in time? What do I want her to know about my dreams
and hopes for her? Feelings from the
heart are the greatest gift you can give anyone; why not share them to be
remembered for generations to come!
How ever you decide to
add words to your special pages remember to have fun with it – keep it as
simple or detailed as you choose. Feelings have no boundaries so let your
imagination and creativity soar!

The picture I submitted is my husband on a Berm Mission while on tour in Iraq. The background I used is colors of uniform they wore while overseas. A berm is a dirt wall that had to placed around the city and their mission was to build it and repair it. The pictures are equipment they used to build the berms around the city. This prevented people sneaking in and causing harm. I used a map to show where they were serving their time while gone. Click the image to see it in a larger size.
