Using Quotes on your Scrapbook Pages When scrapbooking, it’s easy to choose pictures that you would like to save. But figuring out how to incorporate them into a page can be more difficult. This is especially true when you have a stack of unrelated photos, or pictures that you just can’t figure out how to do the journaling for. This is where using quotes in your scrapbooking can make your life a lot easier. Using Scrapbooking Quotes as Journaling One of the easiest ways to use quotes on your scrapbook pages is as journaling. This is especially helpful for those pictures that you just can’t seem to find the words to go with. A scrapbooking quote might be as simple as recording what your child has to say about an event (and dating both the picture and the quote) or doing a “he said-she said” type quote from you and your spouse. Another way to use quotes on your scrapbook page as journaling is to find a popular quote from a book, movie, or song that encapsulates the idea of the page. For example, a page with pictures of your children on Christmas might have a quote from your favorite Christmas carol instead of you writing what happened. Using Scrapbooking Quotes as Titles Another fun way to use quotes on your scrapbook page is to use them as titles. This is a great way to record those fun things that your kids say. A quote from your two-year old about their trip to Disney World is likely the best title your page can have. You can also use your favorite quotes from others in this way as well. For example, a touching line from a song makes a great title for a wedding or love page. Using Scrapbooking Quotes as a Theme Finally, a great way to use quotes in your scrapbook is as inspiration for a theme. This is an easy way to use all those random pictures that are too good to just put in a box, but don’t really fit anywhere else. There are tons of great websites devoted to quotes; many of them are organized by theme. So maybe a quote about happiness can accompany four or five happy pictures of your kids. Or a quote about love can frame those pictures of your spouse that you want to scrapbook. However you choose to use it, scrapbooking from a quote can be a great way to get your creative juices flowing.
