Try using this scrapbooking idea when you have things you want to document but they are too personal or confidential to journal openly.

Sometimes you want to journal on a page but the words are too personal to have everyone read. Hidden journaling works great for this. There are many ways to hide your journaling but the easiest is a piece of folded card stock. On the inside write your journaling and on the outside put a photo or decorate with patterned paper.

In the above layout I used a photo on the outside and a carstock sticker of a butterfly was used as both an embellishment and a handle to open the hidden journaling. On half the butterfly on the underside I had to use a scrap of cardstock to cover the pre-glued side.
Sometimes the look of journaling will detract from a simple layout so using this hidden journaling idea is a good alternative.
This is a simple idea to try next time you want to hide your journaling.
