ValerieT Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Journalling adds a personal touch to your scrapbook pages. Do you have trouble figuring out what to write or how to write it? In this chat, we'll share some of our favourite creative journalling ideas and set you a little challenge. Your challenge; Create a layout using one of these two journalling styles. 1. Journal from the subject of your photos point of view. Here is an example of this style; iNSD Journalling Chat This is a fun way to add journalling to your layout, and can add the personality of the subject of your photos to your layout. 2. Use the Who/what, when, where, why prompts on your layout and answer them. If I had used this style on my layout for today my Journalling would have read like this; Who: Lauren and Kiahna When: 14th April 2014 Where: the back garden Why: It was sunny and I wanted some new photos This is a simple and quick way to journal on your layout. Remember: Those who post their completed layouts in the Scrap Girls interNational Scrapbook Day Gallery for all seven of our National Scrapbook Day chats will be entered into a drawing for a $20 Scrap Girls Gift Certificate! The challenges for each chat will be posted in the interNational Scrapbook Day Forum. To enter the drawing, send an email with your seven layout links to games@scrapgirls.com. Emails must be received by 11:59 p.m. (ET), Sunday, May 4, 2014, to qualify for the drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodScrap Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I never know what to say on my layouts. I usually just go with word art. I sometimes struggle with this! The thing to remember is that some day, people will be looking at your layout and they may not recognize the people. Twenty years from now, you may not remember the date...
