Let’s Create a Scrapbook Page

Many years ago I did a lot of scrapbooking…But over the years I have done less and less. I have a huge amount of photos on my computer and printed. So not long ago I thought I might get back to it and start creating pages filled with love.

On Friday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this scrapbook page using the Full of Life Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!® as my starting point and it worked really well with this photo I found of me and my eldest son, Aaron when he was 4 weeks old. (in the video I thought he was a little younger).

I have kept my journaling simple and in point form….as long as you have the Who, Where and Why. I always say ‘imagine someone is asking you questions about the photo or photo’s, then that is what you want to put down. You could also add Dates, I didn’t do this but I have given Aaron’s age and said it was in Autumn. I have other photos taken at the same time and when I scrap them then more details will be added.

There are 3 types of Journaling

Bullet/Point – Just give the information in point form, Who, Where and Why.
Captions – Has a bit more information that Bullet or Point, with a bit more explanation to what is happening in your images.
Story Telling – Telling a lengthy story of the event, this is leaving nothing out giving all the details. It could be a poem that is relevant to your image/images

Don’t be scared of Journalling, it can be at what ever level you feel comfortable with..just enjoy the process. At the end of the day it all boils down to Who, Where and Why.
