Journaling (especially in your own writing!) is a very important part of any scrapbooking layout.
It not only documents the photos and mementos on your pages, it gives others who want to view your scrapbooks the opportunity to be guided through the photos with your journaling and not with you leaning over their shoulder to point things out!
You can be really creative, or just stick to the basics, but always try to  include some of the more important information: names, dates, places, ages, personal feelings, thoughts, etc.
If you don't like you own writing then try some hidden journaling. We will cover some ideas on that in a later issue of 'CropStop'
Remember, that these scrapbooking pages are forever, and that years down the road, you may forget certain facts and specific memories, and you will always have your scrapbooks to walk you down memory lane...
On the following page you will find words and phrases that can be used for scrapbooking pages in your journaling, captions, and for use as titles for your pages.  The words are grouped in three of the most popular things we scrap!
