Huge Hello Everyone
I wanted to start asking questions about Journalling....
How do you do your journalling?
Ideas on interesting ways to hide Journaling on layouts ....

If I am going to journal, then its in the open on the LO. I don't like hidden journalling.

I'm not much of a journaler out here these days it is generally only a few words if that.

Here are some ways I have done hidden journaling in the past.
-Tag tucked in behind photo or in a pocket
-Under a photo on a hinged mat

hi samian I mostly just use the tag behind the photo or mat like julie suggested I am totally lost with the whole journelling thing I don't write well so I do put something on the page I print it up on the computer I think Deb MK suggest in on other thread ( sorry don't know which one ) to stick a small journel block on your page that way you feel you should put something in it

If I am not sure what I want to journal I write a short list of words relevant to the page and then make a few or even just one sentence from them. Such as where, when, who and what was going on.
e.g. Beach, Easter 1995, daughter and eating chocolate becomes:
In 1992 at Easter we went to the beach for the weekend and Hannah at 2 year old found a chocolate egg and ate it before breakfast. Boy did we have a lively day!
I do not usually hide journalling if it is going in a plastic sleeve but some pretty slots or envelopes can be made in other albums, a paper flower not stuck down at the top to slip a tag behind or some such thing.
I hope this is helpful.

I Tend to do hidden journaling or sometime write along the bottom of the page I have even done it on the back

I'm afraid I don't get hidden journalling? Why would you do it? for one thing albums have plastic sleeves so no one is going to see it.

I get what your mean Helen, I guess depends on how much journaling there is I suppose - If you have a huge story to tell and it takes up an A4 page its best hidden and sometimes you don't want the whole world to read the story only those who its meant for I guess most of the time for me the title and sub titles tell my story even the photo tells its own story

Oh Journalling is such a personal thing , well sometimes...lol but i have been eyeing off the SBM Maters this year and thinking...is this the year to enter...well at least have a go?! but on layout is to have Hidden Journaling but in an innovative way....so after a little pondering and not gettin much helpf from Artsy Partner my next step was to ask the Big guns at Scrap threapy...hehe You ladies rock so now i'm in the midst to tryin to choose what photo/theme i going to have for the layout and trying to put a twist to it for the hidden journaling.....i'll keep you all posted on how i'mj going with my Masters enter...well not in pics but in chit chat, cause i'm sure i'm going to need some feedback with my ideas

{HUGS}

Good luck with all Sam. I know you will do great.

Aw thanks Helen

Wow Sam.... go for it girl - you'll do so well!! Your work is gorgeous!
I'm not much of journaller - I'm forcing myself to get better at it.
I'm not really a hidden journaler either... only cos I just dont think to do it!
If only someone stood over me and said - do it!

Journalling is not so hard girls

Step One - the important stuff

Who
When
Where

The second step - the sentimental stuff -

How and Why

And Sam - you would be a shoe in for masters your work is stunning - go for it - try coding your journalling as a special way of hiding it and pop the codebreaker somewhere into the layout as well.

HA!
There it is..........
Second step - the sentimental stuff

uh uh.... doesnt happen........at all!
