Here's a tip straight from Computer Scrapbooking: Journaling on a computer can correct spacing issues and misspelled words. In addition, computers can also transform text so that words become works of art. Create fun journal blocks or page embellishments by varying the font for each letter. Change the colors of alternating sentences and/or specific words to create journaling blocks that compliment or contrast one another. Shade and layer your text so that certain words stand out and important elements 'pop' more than others. You can also wrap text around a photo frame or shape your text so it enhances the main subject on a page. There are so many options and fonts just waiting to be downloaded. Use your computer to spice up your journaling today!

Take advantage of today's technology shortcuts and create eye-popping scrapbook pages at the same time! Computer Scrapbooking, a special issue published by the editors of Memory Makers magazine, will show you how!
