From the article: Five Journaling Styles for Scrapbook Pages
While the famous quote says that a picture is worth a thousand words, in your scrapbooks pictures can only be counted on to tell part of the story. What is your secret to making sure that you include meaningful journaling on your scrapbook page? What is Your Style?
Traditional
- I mostly use the 5Ws and H(ow). If I'm doing a quick page, I use bullets.

My journaling secret
- I write about a page of diary every day, whether anything very interesting happens or not. Then, when something worth scrapbooking happens, I have a good record of all the details! I copy and paste them to a new file, then EDIT them to take out anything like personal remarks or private information I might have put in there, print and find some way to include it in or on my page. About Scrapbooking has given us many unique ways to do this and I've tried quite a few!

Journaling Style
- Most of my pages have titles of the event and names of the people. Every several pages, I will journal a memorable thing that happened at the event.

Journaling Style
- At different times I've used all the styles you've mentioned. Sometimes it realy is about a great photo with just a title, place and date. Lately I've been doing a lot more storytelling that sometimes icludes almost a whole page of journaling that will include only a small photo to support the story.
