Scrapbooking Quotes and Phrases
Journaling is a big part of scrapbooking. Our goal as scrapbookers is to capture a moment in time and document the event, an occasion or a family tradition. The hardest part of this task is finding the right words to tell the whole story. For me, not only is finding the right words the problem, but I also have horrific handwriting. By using quotes and phrases I find on the web, I can copy & paste to a word file then change font styles, font size, layout, formatting and font color to suit my page layout and color scheme. Once I have the file the way I want it, I print the phrase or quote on vellum, cardstock or specialty paper to complement my layout.
There are tons of great scrapbooking quotes, verses and phrases out there. When I find a site I like, I bookmark it so I can access it quickly in the future. I found one web site that had 75 quotes that I liked and I thought I would share them with you. Thank you to everything-about-scrapbooking.com for this compilation.
