Disney Scrapbook Layout - Journaling Part 1

Adding journaling to your Disney Scrapbook Layouts need not be a daunting experience.

Well when I started to create my first Disney Scrapbook I thought that it seemed like a dreadful chore as I never knew what to write.

I learnt later on though that journaling in your scrapbook  is as important in the layout as the color scheme and design element.

Here are simple tips on how to start your journaling

1. Always select acid-free, permanent, scrapbook pens in colors that synchronize with your Disney Scrapbook page.
2. Start with the title on the page. A title does not have to go across the top of the page it can go vertically along one side of the scrapbook paper, through the centre of the page or even across the bottom of the page. Keep the title simple, it could just include the date and the name of the event.
3. Start off with the things that are evident such as the date of the occasion and names of the people who are in the picture.
4. Next, add a few basic pieces of information, describe where the events in the photos took place, or why the people in the pictures were there.
5. If there is extra room on the page you can add some personal views, emotions, verse, or quotes.

Tips:

1. The best thing that you can add to your Disney Scrapbook album would be personalizing it with your own handwriting, it adds an element of history to your album. But if you feel that you wont be able to read it in years to come then type it out on the computer.
2. To add a bit of pizzazz and fun to the album add fun things to the page such as stickers or memorabilia from the occasion
3. Finally, remember that your family’s story is the most vital part of preserving the past and the present for the future, don’t overlook it with a small number of words.

What to do with your Disney Scrapbook Supplies? Well choosing the right products to go with your Disney Scrapbook is a major part of the project. You will learn here how to creatively store all of those loose bits and we will provide a valuable strategy for mixing it up – arrange the lot by color.

The Trimmings

Opened packets of embellishments can cause chaos with your organization. You can access your embellishments more quickly and easily if you sort and store them by color. You can stockpile your embellishments by color in clear, A4 draws. Then if you need a certain color such as red for your Disney Scrapbook you can go to your red draw and have all your trimmings at hand to peruse.

Ribbons

So that your color sorted ribbons will not tangle try placing them in resealable bags. Resealable bags are an inexpensive way to control unruly ribbons that want to take over your storage area. Color code your ribbons as you would your trimmings.

Sorting Your Card Stock

When sorting by a color wheel all your colors will fall into one of these categories, reds, blues, yellows, greens, oranges, purples, browns and your black and white. Grab nine nice and clean pizza boxes and place the relevant color in one of the boxes. Remember to label the boxes and this will take our all the drama of cardstock storage. Even your smaller quantities will be easier to access with this system.

For really small off cuts, still ensure you color code in the same manner and then you can place these in a plastic page protector and put them in the box that is relevant.

Organizing your supplies need not be a large expensive process. Here you have, a few inexpensive ways that you can sort your Disney scrapbook supplies or even your everyday scrapbooking supplies so that they can be accesses quickly and easily.
