Journaling Block:
When creating a journaling block for your scrapbook pages, try cutting a colored piece of scrapbook paper to fit the space available under or next to a photo. Cut a piece of ruled paper 1/4" smaller than the colored scrapbook paper on all sides, attach adhesive to the back of the ruled paper, center it over the colored scrapbook paper and press it firmly into place. You can even embellish this journaling block with a scrapbook sticker if it fits in with your theme and you have room for it in your text block. Before you write your text on the journaling block, practice writing it to make sure it will fit into the space and it is exactly what you want to say. Cut a piece of scrap paper the same size as the ruled paper and write your text there. When you are satisfied the words will fit on your journaling block fill them in on the ruled paper. Attach it to your scrapbook page when your layout is definite. Don't attach the block to the scrapbook page before writing on it in case you make a mistake and can't remove it from the page. The Internet can be a wonderful resource for you to access the latest scrapbooking tools and supplies you may need to inspire a fresh new layout ideas for when you are blocked. Scrapbooking journals are very important to your scrapbooking pages.
