Journaling with quotes and phrases.



When it comes to journaling on my scrapbook pages I often freeze up and unfortunately some pages are unjournaled. I can have fabulous pictures in a great layout, but my journalese falls short. Some layouts have a great story behind them and the word and journaling just flows. Then there are the pages that the pictures pretty much speak for themselves. I am afraid that too much journaling would take away from the layout and pictures. For these situations I have found that I like to journal with quotes and phrases. As I said the pictures a self explanatory so a perfect descriptive quote and phrase is my key to finishing off the page.

Journaling with quotes and phrases is a great alternative, but the next problem I have encountered is trying to find the right quotes and phrases. At times like this a wish I were a poet or someone who was blessed with gift of putting the right words together. Unfortunately that was not my gift. The Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Word: Quotes - Titles - Poetry - Tips - Words can help out. It is packed with journaling quotes and phrase to help complete the message trying to be conveyed on your pages.

So the next time you are at a loss for word of your own, try journaling with quotes and phrases to add just the right touch to your scrapbook page layouts.
