Hi Friends! Do you ever get to the end of making a layout and wonder where to put your story? Here’s a few ideas from Chelle’s CT about places to put your journaling.
1. Journal in the “empty space” around your scrapping. If you are using PSE, you’ll just have to be creative. If you are using PS, you can make a text path to fill the space*. Here’s some examples from Stephanie & Lynette.
2. Journal on tags, labels, or strips. If your journaling element has lines, check out our leading tutorial. Here’s an example from Jenn M.
3. Replace an item on your template with journaling. See how Jenn M replaced one of the paper pieces with her journaling?
4. Journal in the “empty space” on a photo. I LOVE large photos…often there is empty space on a large photo which is the perfect place for journaling.
5. Columns. It’s easier on our eyes to read narrow columns. If the space you have is wide, consider doing multiple columns. See how Karen used a narrow column in her layout?
6. Sprinkle it around. This one works great for list-type journaling. See how Kristin? listed her 2 year old’s skills?
