4 sneaky ways to tell your story without actually journaling

So, you are a person of few written words. Is it possible for you to scrapbook without actually journaling? Of course. Let me share 4 sneaky ways to tell your story without actually journaling. :)

1. Let the pictures tell the story.

A beach scene. A couple with their arms around each other. Obviously in love.

I added faux journaling in a form of strip of printed text (from patterned paper), adhered a subtle sticker pointing to the XOXO badge which serves as the title for the layout!

2. Add a quote.

Some other smart person has done the legwork for you. Use it. :)

3. Let the title be the journaling.

I use this a lot when scrapbooking pages for others. Adding little elements that support your title helps too...I included some hearts and lovebirds in a cage...to reinforce the love theme.

4. Create a "scene" that tells the story.

Clouds. Planes. Luggage. Destination: Phuket. It's a vacation! :)


There you have it. 4 sneaky ways to tell your story without actually journaling. So totally doable right?
