In the Words of Others - Choosing the Right Quote For Your Scrapbook Pages

In the Words of Others - Choosing the Right Quote For Your Scrapbook Pages
By Alecia Lehmann

It may be true that a picture may be worth a thousand words, when you are trying to preserve a memory for future generations it helps to add a little verbiage to your pages. Memory isn't always accurate, and to really get the most out of your scrapbooking efforts, you may want to consider adding some quotes or phrases to your pages.

Think of using quotes as a sort of bridge between writing an entire diary entry about your photos and losing the meaning behind the pictures by leaving words out entirely. Quotes can serve as both an embellishment and a form of journaling. They an convey the essence of a memory, allowing you to provide the substance through more detailed journaling.

By implementing scrapbooking quotes, you can convey universal emotion to accompany your very personal memories. When taken together with your photos, memorabilia and other embellishments, scrapbooking quotes can help you create a complete layout that will inspire reminiscing, even years after the event has taken place.

But what makes a good scrapbooking quote? A good scrapbooking quote will be:

Catchy - An effective scrapbook quote should be easily remembered. It should stick in your head and make an impact. Think of your favourite song or artist. The best ones get to be that way because they have staying power.

Relevant - The scrapbooking quote may come off as trivial to the reader. However, the meaning of the scrapbooking quote should not be so vague that the reader has to use all of his or her brainpower to understand it. That is, unless you intend for the scrapbook to take on an air of mystery and clue-finding.

Short - A good scrapbooking quote should be able to grab the reader's attention quickly, in just a few words. Unless it is the goal of your layout to have the quote be the center of attention, it should not overpower the photos or memorabilia on your page. The goal of the quote is to bridge the gap between your own words and the images on the page.

Emotional - This does not mean that every quote has to incite tears! A quote should evoke some kind of emotion, sadness, nostalgia, happiness, excitement, etc. - whatever the intended emotion of the layout is.

These are just a few ideas for how scrapbooking quotes can enhance your layouts and your memories. But scrapbooks are personal, and the choice of what makes a good quote is ultimately up to you. If it complements your memories in a way that is meaningful to you, it's the right choice.

Search the Internet for a wealth of ideas for scrapbook quotes. There's a treasure trove of choices out there!

Buttons as Scrapbooking Embellishments

via ScrapScene by Angie on 8/27/09

Here are some ideas for using buttons to make embellishments for scrapbooking and also ideas to make your own buttons!

Adore Neko makes handmade scrapbooking embellishments like these ones shown below.  They are vintage buttons sewn onto vintage sheet music cut into a scalloped shape.  See more here.

Sweet Vintage makes these buttons out of vintage children's books and cardstock.  See all of them here.

Love these back to school themed buttons from Evalicious. 

Melbangel made these embellishments with buttons and felt, shown below. 

You may remember our tutorial post a little while back on how to make buttons out of polymer clay. You can see that here if you missed it.

Of course, a button post would not be complete without directing you to Tessa Ann's adorable 3D polymer clay buttons.  See one photo below and all of the available ones here.

Family Quotes to Use For Scrapbooking

Sometimes a creative layout only needs a few well-chosen words to tie the whole theme together. Since family and family events are some of the major themes of any scrapbook, I thought I'd offer a few quotations you could use on your family pages.

There is just one way to bring up a child in the way he should go and that is to travel that way yourself. -Abraham Lincoln

It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.

--Johann Schiller

The family is a haven in a heartless world.

--Christopher Lasch

Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. --Author Unknown

You don't choose your family They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

--Desmond Tutu

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there. --Barbara Bush

In time of test, family is best. --Burmese Proverb

The informality of family life is a blessed condition that allows us to become our best while looking our worst. --Marge Kennedy

The family is one of nature's masterpieces. ~George Santayana, The Life of Reason

Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family --Anthony Brandt

A hundred men may make an encampment, but it takes a woman to make a home.

--Chinese Proverb

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

--Margaret Fuller

Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family? --Marmontel Gretry

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future. -Alex Haley

A happy family is but an earlier heaven. --John Bowring

Any of these short quotations can be neatly written or computer-printed and displayed in your layout to show how you feel about the beloved people in your pictures.

Scrapbooking Quotes: "A Day Without Scrapbooking Is A Day Without Sunshine- Anonymous" by Muna Wa Wanjiru

As we all can see, the practice of Scrapbooking is quite a rage today. It has spread like wild fire all over. We see everyone around us indulging in this vibrant art. Scrapbooking can be called an art which employs the visual medium to preserve thoughts, ideas, feelings and memorabilia. The main focus of Scrapbooking is to create an impact through the visual medium. It uses several art and craft forms to do so. When a person surfs through his scrapbook after several years, it serves as an interesting read for him.

The art of Scrapbooking has had its origin long back. In ancient Greece, people preserved their thoughts, feelings, ideas, emotions and daily routine in notebooks called 'hyponemata'. Commonplace notebooks which are a recent concept are also quite popular in preservation of thoughts and feelings. They are a concept allied to that of the scrapbook. The most famous people who maintained scrapbooks were Mark Twain and Thomas Jefferson.

Words and expressions are used in scrapbooks. Another integral component of a scrapbook is that of quotes. Almost every person who keeps a scrapbook makes it a point to incorporate some good quotes in his scrapbook. In fact, the pre-requisite of a good scrapbook is inclusion of ample appropriate quotes. The quotes can belong to the famous personalities, writers or poets; or be the one writing a scrapbook himself. Scrapbooking quotes are the important essentials of your scrapbook.

Some may question the need of incorporation of good quotes in a scrapbook. A lot of justifications can be given for this. Basically, good quotes enrich the quality of your scrapbook. They help you through trials and tribulations of your life. For example a quote like 'When the going gets tough, the tough gets going' can inspire a person a person going through turbulent times rise fight the circumstances. It can give his life a mission, purpose or a will to fight. And when the good times roll, he can cherish such Scrapbooking quotes.

Some quotes are allied to a person's state of mind. One can relate to some particular quote while in a particular state of mind. And these quotes can serve as friends or guides when a person is alone. Including a good quote in your scrapbook can certainly improve the state of your mind to a great deal. And the words of the quote decorated in a beautiful manner create a powerful impact. Thoughtful words compiled with beautiful decoration in your scrapbook is a sure winner.

Scrapbooking quotes are available in books or can be searched online. Several books compile a good collection of quotes. Here are some interesting Scrapbooking quotes:

"A day without Scrapbooking is a day without sunshine- Anonymous"

"Every day of your life is a page of history".

"Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember- Flavia"

"And remember, no matter where you go, there you are- Confucius"

"Do what you want, with what you have, where you are- Theodore Roosevelt"
