I thoughts I’d start a new scrappy chatty post about words … in scrapping.

how important are words on your pages?

I almost never do a page without journalling on. At the very minimum is had the place and date but often a lot more than that. I have been known to write a lot on pages at times.

Plus it is rare that it’s not handwritten. When I started scrapping I frequently typed my journalling and stuck it on. Now I never do that. I often write on journalling spits or cards but just as happily write directly on the cardstock. And I never plan ahead what I am going to say. I start and write what drips out of my head.

If I am making pages for someone else I tend to use quotes but not proper journalling as I can’t always assume what theyd want on there. Also for themed albums, like the gift wedding album I am making I tend not to add the date as it’s the same on every page.

So, how about you? Are you a handwritter or a Tyler or do you prefer not to write or write on the back or on tags where it’s hidden? Do you plan what you want to say or go with the flow?
