What About the Words: Creative
Journaling for Scrapbookers
From
Memory Makers
128 pages
8.4 x 8.4 inches
While photos, embellishments and page design
provide striking visual appeal, the story and emotions behind
those elements represent the true heart and soul of a scrapbook
page. Many scrapbookers approach journaling with trepidation for
fear their words will not sparkle with as much artistic flair
as their visual elements. What About the Words will provide
the advice, examples and inspiration scrapbookers need to help
them record and remember in the most engaging and expressive way
possible. “Scrapbooking titles abound, but what about
the words? What About the Words shows how to supplements lively
images with equally-lively words. . . . I have to say this one
is the best. I absolutely love the ideas.”
