Nancy Wagner-Sellers swears by The Photo Scribe scrapbook journaling method. Here's what she says about the pages (below) she created after using the worksheet:

"I am so glad I did the journaling first!

I actually pulled out the Cameo Narrative worksheet on the plane on the return trip-- my daughter was a captive audience to help me!

We went over every day, every adventure, using the sheet to jot down details. We filled in the blanks with all the little bits and pieces that are the deeper level of the who-what-where-when and recorded all the sense details like the smells and textures of the things we saw and visited.

When the photos came back just a few days later, I was amazed at how much I had already forgotten. Thanks to the Cameo Narrative process, I had saved those details.

That's what makes the album special. It really tells the story of our wonderful trip. "

What does photoscribing look like on your album pages?
Here's a suggestion from a dedicated photoscribe!

From the album of Nancy Wagner-Sellers, these pages tell the story of a special trip made by Nancy and her sister, her mother and her daughter. She wanted these memories to last a lifetime, so she photoscribed her album pages to preserve the details.

Each double page spread uses creative cropping, theme related backgrounds and Nancy's great eye for design. You'll note that each page also includes a Cameo Narrative that keeps the storyline going as a prime part of the page.

That's photoscribing in action!

Viewing and reading these pages, you feel like you're right there because the images and the story support each other in recreating the details of feelings and experiences.

A "Cameo Narrative" is a brief story (usually 50 - 150 words) written to accompany a photo or group of photos. It does in words what a photo does in images. Cameo Narratives add valuable information and invaluable textures of feeling and life experience to your album pages.
