Stumped for Words? {Use Someone Else's!}

Our friendships do so much to make our lives better...but sometimes it's hard to find the words to express the way we feel about our friends. That's when you look to the words of others...like buying a Hallmark card for your scrapbook pages. 

Quotes and phrases are a great way to capture just the right sentiment and we've got layouts to prove it. Take a peek at this one from Diana Brodeur: 

Diana worked a Jim Morrison quote into her journaling and then took a few sentences to expand on her own feelings about her best friend. The quote is the perfect way to tie the sentiments together, and of course, Diana's design is jaw-droppingly beautiful.  

Designer Nina Ostermann didn't journal at all, but her title says just what she's feeling. Why not take a commonly used phrase and make that the sole message on your page?  

This is especially effective when creating layouts for teenagers--just take something they often say (whether you like it or not) and get it down on the page. You'll freeze time by capturing that memory. 

We also love, love, love the way Nina showcased her StoryMarker. Isn't this beautiful? 

Designer Jill Cornell opted to look to Scripture for her quote, choosing a Bible verse and making it her title. 

We love the way Jill journaled her own thoughts on this verse (and on her girls) taking the time to personalize the verse a little bit. 

Next time you're stumped on a title, use your favorite verse or quote...it works like a charm! 

Why not start your weekend with a shopping trip on our website? Best Friends is ready & waiting for YOU!
