    A journaling pocket is created by adhering three sides of the background the the scrapbook page. A form -- like this one created by Stephani -- can take some of the guesswork out of journaling.

    Vacation photos are a good starting place to involve men in scrapbooking.

    Men can create truly amazing pages -- with masculine touches, as author and designer Julie Stephani demonstrates.

    • The Hunt - This page was created by Stephani's husband, Bill, who participates in an annual hunting expedition to Minnesota. The page features two pockets that hide journaling. Tip: Men who hate to journal should consider "form" journaling, that will allow all the details to be recorded by simply answering the questions or filling in the corresponding blanks.

    • Garden Page- Hunting and fishing aren't the only activities that can be featured on a manly scrapbooking page. Many men are avid summer gardeners and a prized summer vegetable garden is an excellent page theme. Just as the colors of nature are echoed on the hunting page, summer brights can be used for the garden page -- as long as the page maintains a clean, no-fuss look . Because the page also contains information, it's a good way to keep an avid male gardener enjoying his scrapbook page and his past garden.

    • Vacation: A vacation is a great way to get men involved in the entire scrapbooking process -- from taking the photos to creating the layout to journaling the experience.
