Words For Wednesday!
Hey all! Ellie here with this week’s Words for Wednesday!
I had a heck of a time coming up with something to write about. I am not the most eloquent person in the world and I suppose that signing up to write Words for Wednesday was as much a challenge to myself as anything. One thing that I struggle with a LOT in my layouts is journaling. Even if I am feeling inspired and can throw a layout together, I always get stuck on the words.
So what do I do? If you look at my gallery you will notice that I have a lot of quotes! lol Quotes are my way of saying what I want said, only better than I could ever say it. hehe I have a few of my favorite sites bookmarked, but usually I Google whatever subject I am scrapping about and find something appropriate. My mom also has this great scrapbook quotes book that I used to browse through… I need to get me one of those!
So if you are feeling stuck in a rut and don’t quite know what you want to write, try looking up some quotes (or lyrics to songs and poems!) and see if something doesn’t catch your eye. And in honor of scrapping with quotes, I have a little freebie for you. It comes with and without the sun! It’s perfect for Summer photos!
And here’s a little layout I did with it!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy scrapping!

Thanks Ellie! I have trouble coming up with the right words myself. I usually end up with TOO much, lol so I like using quotes, too *g*
