Ever so often, as you go through life, you may hear a phrase that brings to mind an image. Perhaps it reminds you of a photo you would like to take or a scrapbook layout you want to create. These phrases may come from a variety of sources. It could be a line from a song that you hear on the radio. It could be a quote from a famous person such as a politician, actor, or comedian. It could be a line from a famous or favorite author. It could also be a quote from someone you know - children certainly say some of the most descriptive things.

Next time you hear a phrase or quote that brings to mind a scrapbook page, write it down. Save these quotes just like you save sketches and other sources of scrapbooking inspiration.

Perhaps you are familiar with the line from Dr Seuss: "Every day we play out back, we play a game called ring the gak." My father really likes this quote and has been quoting it since he read the book to me 40 years ago. Naturally, when I heard him saying it as he played with my children, I grabbed my camera as the scrapbook page was forming in my head.

Another example is when my son announced, "When I grow up, I want to be a Jedi Knight." Of course, I knew this would be the first in a long line of careers he would strive for and perhaps the most creative. I knew a scrapbook page was needed and found the photos to document this quote.

The world around you is full of quotes and phrases that can be used to start scrapbook pages. Keep your ears open and your pen ready.
