Journaling Tells the Story
The blog question asks for my opinion on Journaling on layouts. I believe that journaling tells the story. Anyone who has ever gone through a pile of her parent’s or grandparent’s photos and has seen that they weren’t labelled knows that without the journaling – the photos cannot tell the whole story by themselves. It’s easy when you have a cute photo of your baby boy eating peaches for the first time. You know he’s your son, you know he’s eating peaches – but will those who see your scrapbook years from now know?
I just completed an anniversary layout. I tell the story of our first anniversary – when I turned to my dear hubby and said: “oh just think honey, someday I’ll be turning to you and wishing you a happy 20th anniversary – won’t that be sweet?” and he said “No, we’ll be old”!!
Well, Thursday was our 21st anniversary! I guess that makes us older than old! But without the journaling – the photos could never have told that story.
The picture above is from the Green Sneakers Card Gallery, who I design for, and they have agreed to allow me to sell the cards I made there on my ETSY store!
