Journal Starter | Make a List
I am a list maker. I love everything about lists. In fact, let me list the reasons I love lists!
Top 10 Reasons I Love Lists
1. Can be any length
2. Easy to Read
3. Gives focus
4. Ties together unrelated thoughts
5. Relatively easy to write
6. No grammar police
7. Snapshot of “right now”
8. Bring order to chaos
9. Helps to remember things
10. Crossing out feels SOOO good
Now look through that list again and just see what a perfect fit lists are for journaling a scrapbook page. One of my favorite things about using lists on layouts is that it preserves a moment in time. A moment that, without the list, might have been forgotten. I would love to challenge you to create a new layout using a list as journaling.
How about another list to help you brainstorm a new layout?
Top 10 Lists to Scrapbook
1. Top 10 or Top 5 or Top Whatever Number
2. Who, What, Where, When, Why
3. To Do List
4. ABC List
5. Favorites
6. Order of events
7. Bucket List
8. IT List (not to be confused with a HIT list…)
9. Currents (what you are currently interested in)
10. Wish List
Take a look at some inspiration I found in the Sahlin Studio Gallery.

Many Sahlin Studio products have list making goodies in them. But if you’re looking to add a little something extra to your stash for lists, consider these products:
So next time you grab a pen and paper to write a list, consider making a scrapbook layout of it.
In ten years, you might just be glad that you did.

July 2, 2012This blog post inspired me! I haven’t been scrapping much lately and I miss scrapping the every day moments with my kids. Unfortuantely I didn’t use one of your kits, but if you’d like to see my layout, it’s here:

Thanks for the inspiration! I do have several of your kits as well, and have them lined up for my next layout
