Mother’s Day is coming up and so it got me thinking about Journaling in Digital Scrapbooking projects, and how to add more words to our digital scrapbooking pages. Sometimes when we are scrapbooking we can write about all the things we were doing. How we felt, who said what and why. These things make great additions to digital scrapbooking projects.
Journaling and digital scrapbooking is a natural combination! You have your lovely scrapped page and then you add your precious photos so now it makes sense to include something said about the whole thing too!
In fact some people say that scrapbooks without journaling are just pretty 
photo albums! We as scrapbookers might think there is a bit more to it than that. Still while it is true that “a picture is worth a thousand words”, in your scrapbooking projects, photos with WORDS can tell a more complete story! And for those that are sharing your scrapbooks they might also understand and enjoy them more if some WORDS where added to the pages.
However sometimes we want to write more, but don’t know where to start. So, here are some Mother’s Day journaling prompts that might help if you are journaling and scrapbooking your family Photos for mom! You can even have your children use some of these prompts and write on Grandmother!
Mother’s Day Prompts (Can be used for Grandmothers too!):
- My mom is great because…
- Mother’s day is…
- The top 2, 5, 10 things I love about my mom are…
- Write about a lesson you have learned from your mom
- What makes a good mother? Write about it.
- My mom always says…
- Finish this sentence in as many ways as you can think of: “My mother is a great mom because …”
- If I could choose, me and my mom would do these mother’s day activities together…
- Write about your funniest memory of your mother.
- Make a list of things you love about your mother.
- Imagine that you and your mom switched places and you suddenly became “Her for a Day.” What would it be like? How would you feel? How would your life be different? Write about it.
- Imagine writing stories about your mother. Record your wildest, funniest, or happiest idea. If you can find photos to match your stories include them in your scrap page too!
- Create a scrapbook of Memories for your mom. Choose five or six favorite memories and write about them. Illustrate in scrapbook pages and combine to make an album.
- Write about the best piece of advice your mom ever gave you.
- My special mothers day message for my mom is…
- Keep a week-long “Mom Journal.” Observe your mom each day for a week, and record the many things she does both for you individually and for your family as a whole. Write them down. Then, take time to thank her for doing them. Add some photos and scrap the journal.
- Create a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting your mother and your grandmother (mom’s mother). Include photo of each of them. Send a copy to your mom and grandmother.
- Create a word web of adjectives that describe your mother.
- Find some mother’s day quotes and write about them and how they make you feel.
While these are only a few Mother’s Day prompts they might help you start writing and journaling more on your digital scrapbooking pages and projects. Take a look at them and see if they spark the creative writer in you!
Have a Happy Mother’s Day and happy scrapping too!!!
