Tip #4: Put Your Inbox on Your Layout

In today's society, receiving handwritten letters is less common than receiving e-mailed letters. But you can still include these electronic correspondences on your layouts. Simply copy and paste the text into a word-processing program, reduce the column size to your desired width, and then print the letters out to include as journaling blocks on your pages. You can gather e-mails from multiple people and include them on a single layout--notice how Becky Higgins has grouped a memory from each family member into two pockets on the right-hand page of her layout.
