Scrapbook page with digital journalingOne easy idea for printable scrapbooking is to create your journaling sections on the computer. This works well if your handwriting is difficult to read or if you don't want to risk making a mistake on a page that took you a long time to design.
Measure the area on your scrapbook page where you want your journaling to appear. Use a word processing or photo program and create a "page" this size. Select a suitable font and type. Test print your journaling on plain paper to see if it fits on your scrapbook page. Replace your printer's paper with scrapbook stock and print again.
If you have a photo printer, you can save paper by cutting your stock into 4x6 sections--the same size as common photo paper.
If you scrapbook on 8.5x11 paper, you can run your background paper right through a standard printer. -
