How to Doodle on a Scrapbook Page
You do not need to be an artist to add hand drawn images to a scrapbook page. Even small doodles of heart, circles, letters and shading add character and dimension to a page and make it one-of-a-kind. Adding hand drawn sketches doesn't have to be hard. By adding small doodling to your page, you are adding a personal touch that will make the page even more meaningful to your family.

Tips & Warnings
Do not worry about perfection. The more freeform the drawing, the more natural it looks.
Most scrapbook pens have a thick end and a thin end. Alternate ends for the most dimension..
Be careful not to smear drawing with your hand. Make sure the ink in dry before you move onto the next section.
