Because I inherited a huge box of my grandma's photos I often scrap some of them that I've scanned. I write things that I've heard from my dad or even my grandma about that time in their lives, I talk about the things they accomplished, how different her life was from mine, how different the places are now from how they were in the photos. I do it to try and give a sense of how she was when she was younger to my kids when they look at the albums.
I do try to journal on most of my pages, realizing that the stories are important, more important to me sometimes than the photos. I scrap a lot now with CT stuff and heavy journaling isn't always happening for all of my layouts. I'm trying to get a better balance on it. My pocket pages do have little stories from our right now.
