Journalling
Sometimes a pictures says a thousand
words, at other times you may want to describe what the picture is all
about for later recollection and future generations. Here are some of
the options:
- Add hidden jounalling behind
another element on the page, the most used is probably a little
pocket behind the picture or a little flap that lifts up o the page.
- There are several jounalling stamps
on the market. In the layout to the left for example I have used a
LIl' Davis Clear Journaling stamp.
- Draw lines and add your journalling
for all to see. In the layout above I have used a doodling template
to draw the lines then added the journalling.
- Write around elements on the page.
This is used in several of the layouts above.

a brush. Glue the strip to the paper as shown. You can cut out
the middle of the strip to avoid a bumpy look under the picture.

it and edge with Doodlebug Rick Rack ribbon. Leave one side unglued
