Memory Makers (Author)

Book Description

Series: Memory Makers | Publication Date: February 24, 2006

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. "The No Fear Guide to Scrapbook Journaling" will provide the advice, examples and inspiration scrapbookers need to help them record and remember in the most engaging and expressive way.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to supplement lively image with equally-lively words, making the most of format options, June 25, 2006

This review is from: What About the Words? Creative Journaling for Scrapbookers (Memory Makers) (Paperback)

Scrapbooking titles abound and provide inspiration for any who would record memories and experiences in an engaging manner - but most focus on the craft of pictures and image arrangement. WHAT ABOUT THE WORDS? CREATIVE JOURNALING FOR SCRAPBOOKERS goes a step beyond, focusing on word-images and how they are presented in the course of a scrapbooking project. From collages and lists to documenting silly behaviors or patterns, WHAT ABOUT THE WORDS shows how to supplement lively image with equally-lively words, making the most of format options.

This book would be awesome for the avid Journalist Scrapbooker. I on the other hand am not a journalist. I bought this hoping it would aid me in finding the inner writer. No such luck, but the ideas this book has is overwhelming. The techniques are eye-catching, creative works that some of us could never come up with on our own. Thank God for the professionals who let us in on their secrets.
