Disney Scrapbook Layout – Journaling Beginner’s Steps Part 1

24 Nov

Adding journaling to your Disney scrapbook layouts need not be a daunting experience.

Well when I started to create my first scrapbook I thought that it seemed like a dreadful chore as I never knew what to write.

I learnt later on though that journaling is as important in the layout as the color scheme and design element.

Here are simple tips on how to start your journaling

Always select acid-free, permanent, scrapbook pens in colors that synchronize with your Disney Scrapbook page.
Start with the title on the page. Know remember the title does not need to go across the top of the page, it can go across the bottom, vertically along one side of the scrapbook paper or through the centre of the page. Keep the title simple, it could just include the date and the name of the event.
After that, begin with the basics, in particular dates and full names of the people in the picture.
Next, add a few basic pieces of information, describe where the events in the photos took place, or why the people in the pictures were there.
If there is extra room on the page you can add some personal views, emotions, verse, or quotes.

The best thing that you can add to your Disney Scrapbook album would be personalizing it with your own handwriting, it adds an element of history to your album.
To add a bit of pizzazz and fun to the album add fun things to the page such as stickers or memorabilia from the occasion
Finally, remember that your family’s story is the most vital part of preserving the past and the present for the future, don’t overlook it with a small number of words.
