Scrapbook Journaling is the practice of using blocks of written text to highlight and explain the photos and mementos on a scrapbook page. We’re talking more than just captions, though - these journal blocks should do more than just tell the who, when, and where. They should take the people reading it back to the memory, or transport them into the experience for the first time. These journal entries can be stories, or letters, or poems.

But what if you don’t consider yourself a writer?

Well, there are still tips you can use to do fantastic scrapbook journaling!

First of all, remember that this is nothing that is going to be graded or judged. This is something that is only meant to enhance memories of loved ones, to be enjoyed by yourself and loved ones. So just write from the heart and let it flow!

Next, don’t be afraid to rely on great writers and speakers of the past for inspiration, or even in using their words directly. Using famous quotes or poems which are very poignant and affecting can add a lot to your scrapbook journaling.

Lastly, make sure you write rough drafts of your text before writing directly on your scrapbooking page to ensure that the text will fit into the blocks that you have laid out for it.
