CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#42) FINDING THE RIGHT WORDS

Good Day Bloggers!

This week's tip is short & sweet.

If you are short on words for your scrapbook layouts, albums or cards there are ways to find some & here are a few:

1-The Bible! Scripture is inspirational, soothing & instructional. It can cover a multitude of subject matter.
2-Conduct an Interview, Q & A style with your subject then type up the interview word for word, print and adhere to your project.
3-Write a personal reflection. Compare & contrast from your perspective using a now & then approach to your journaling. For example;if the photo is of you as a child, describe the details, how you felt then & look back on it now.
4-Use words from beloved songs.
5-Go to websites like: www.poetry.com, www.lovepoemsandquotes.com or www.americanrhetoric.com. You can also find famous quotes and quotations on www.brainyquote.com.
6-Ask a family member to provide the story.
7-Find your favorite author and borrow a line or two.

Often times I get stuck in a rut and find journaling a challenge. The tips I have shared with you have really helped me immensely. Particularly with older photos where I could not remember all the details.

Happy Crafting!
