Journaling is another one of those things that doesn't always come naturally to me...... The way I think of it is - If I could stand next to the person looking at the picture and tell them about it, what would I say, then I journal that, or maybe there is a fun story that goes with the picture and so I try to journal that.
I don't consider myself a "scrapbooker" - I just happen to like "scrapbooking" and so I just apply lessons I've learned through life into my scrapbooking - for example, my Mom said when you are building a flower arrangement always use odd numbers and the rule of three for colors, so when I stamp I use odd numbers of the same image and when I'm choosing colors I generally use three colors or three shades - you can always add more later.
I didn't create the page below, but I just wanted to show you how simple pages can be and how nice it is that the photo is the feature and the page just enhances it.
