Scrapbooking is Journaling
Photos...memories...words
In addition to the collection of photographs, tickets, postcards, and other memorabilia, journaling is often a principle element in modern scrapbooks. Journaling is text that describes, explains, or accents the photographs on a scrapbook page. Contemporary journaling can take many forms. It can be reflective and story-like, take a reportive tone, or simply be a list of words. Journaling may also include song lyrics, quotes, and poems. The value of journaling lies in the fact that it provides an account of family histories that may otherwise not be preserved.
Many consider journaling one of the most important elements of any scrapbook. Journaling is a personal choice and it can describe the event, the photographs, or relate feelings and emotions. Handwritten journaling is considered best by some scrapbookers who see handwriting as valuable for posterity, but many people journal on the computer and print it onto a variety of surfaces including vellum, tape, ribbon, and paper.

OR ORDER PRINTS ONLINE
Canon PIXMA MP560 Wireless Inkjet All-In-One Photo Printer (3747B002)
Amazon Price: $99.00 (as of 01/06/2010)
I'm not going to be too technical in my review. I've owned this printer for a week now and don't have many complaints. Loading the paper is very easy. Photo paper is loaded in the back. So far the pictures I've printed looked great. No problem with scanning and copying. It's very quick in handling all my tasks. Also, one major feature that I love is the built in double sided page printing. ~F. Calabrese
