| Rubber Stamping
With a stamp and acid free ink you can add images to your pages
that compliment the photos and memorabilia surrounding a particular
theme. You can even make your own rubber stamps if you are that
ambitious and this is something in which you are really interested.
Journaling Block
One option is to create a text or journaling block. All you need
to do is cut a colored piece of your scrapbook paper to fit the
space available under or next to a photo. Cut a piece of ruled paper
1/4" smaller than the colored paper on all sides. Attach adhesive
to the back of the ruled paper, center it over the colored paper
and press it firmly into place. You can even embellish this journaling
block with a sticker if it fits in with your theme and you have
room for it as well as your text. Before you actually write your
text on the journaling block, practice writing it to make sure it
will fit into that space and it is exactly what you want to say.
Cut a piece of scrap paper the same size as the ruled paper and
write your text there. When you are satisfied the words will fit
on your journaling block fill them in on the ruled paper. Attach
it to your scrapbook page when your layout is definite. Don't attach
the block to the page before writing on it in case you make a mistake
and can't remove it from the page. |
